	The noise goes on and on, rising in volume as the two armies clash. For some it is deafening, bringing with it a sense that the enemy cannot be defeated, that this challenge cannot be met. For others it is empowering, full of the assurance that the only way to lose is to give in to the fear of what lies ahead. The roar of Graven Rock echoes back and forth across the battlefield, ringing, ringing like a massive bell of stone. Sometimes, when one catches a glimpse of the rock out of the corner of an eye, it has become an immensity, a pinnacle of grey stone reaching so much higher than the usual fifty or so metres. Other times it resembles that odd dreamt-of tower.		The noise goes on and on, rising in volume as the two armies clash.

	The roar fades as suddenly as it arose, but the sensations it evoked linger as the battle rages on. The campaign so far has been bloody, but it is nothing to the battle here on the margins of the marsh, on the edge of the great fens of Bregas. Two implacable forces matched against each other, in the end it is the Empire that overcomes the obstacle presented to them by their foes. It is Imperial soldiers that push the Jotun back, force them to cede the field, force them to retreat north toward Sallow.

	The battle, though, has raged for the entire day and night is falling. Horns and drums sound, warbands and cohorts regrouping, the situation being assessed. Soldiers turning to each other and asking what that noise was, what it portended. And that’s when the other unlooked for miracle - if miracle it is - occurs.

	That final battle on the boundary of the Rushes has been the bloodiest of the entire campaign. Easily as many soldiers on both sides fell, as have fallen in the whole time since the Winter equinox. Perhaps three thousand in total, human and orc alike, lying on the thirsty earth or in bloody pools, pressed into the earth as if in a final embrace. It is dark, and there are more pressing issues than recovering the dead – there will be time tomorrow to count the cost and begin the mourning, even as others prepare to pursue the defeated yet unbowed Jotun.

	Campaigning in [[Bregasland]] has been focused in the east of the territory this season. After heavy fighting the Imperial armies have liberated Graven March and pushed the [[Jotun]] back, but the fate of the territory still hangs in the balance. The Empire have yet to reach the vast fenland expanses of the Grey Fens where the orcs patrol the dispersed settlements, ensuring those who labour are kept in line, and keeping a watch out for signs of infiltration by the [[Strong Reeds]].

	On the edge of Drayham Mere is the found the Ullsmere Rock. A huge ~~dolman~~, it has stood unmarked and unremarked for as long as anyone can remember. According to local legend it was erected centuries ago by visiting friars to ward the settlement from restless spirits. It clearly works well because there have never been any ghosts in the area that anyone can ever recall. As a result, sensible folk just leave the Rock be.

	To date the Jotun had paid the Rock no more attention than the Bregas ever did, but that seems to have suddenly changed. Sunne Astar, a [[Elite_Jotun_characters#Ghodi\|ghodi]] with a quixotic reputation, has gathered warriors from the Howling Night army and ordered them to drag the enormous stone all the way back to [[Hordalant#Vallorberg\|Vallorberg]] in [[Hordalant\|Hordalant]]. The ghodi claims the stone is a relic of [[Elite_Jotun_troops#Ulvenwar\|Ulven]], and that the orc hero ''hurled'' it at a troll to kill the monster without being close enough to touch it.

			{{AgainstBarbarians}}
			The cunning icewalkers and shrewd mediators of the [[Narwhal's Spear]] have had their work cut out for them this season in [[Bregasland]]. The Jotun have maintained a solid wall of steel against the Imperial attack, so getting information has been difficult. One lead that has borne fruit, is a warband of yegarra with some Jotun, serving as the vanguard for supplies going to the Southern Bear.

			If the yegarra can be killed, then the party of Winterfolk will be able to catch the wagons and divert the supplies to the Narwhal's Spear, restoring 250 strength before the campaign this season. If they can't be stopped, and at least half the party survives, then the supplies will make it to the Southern Bear, restoring 250 strength to ''that'' army before the campaign this season.

	The Jotun have succeeded in pulling the stone out of the ground and have begun to drag it away from the area on a rudimentary sled. The Ullsmere Rock, is a massive block of hewn rock that is not possible to be moved without concerted effort. If the ghodi Sunne Aster is slain then it will put an end to the plan to upgrade the quality of the Howling Night army. If the Jotun are killed, or driven off, then citizens can return it to where it was originally placed. The sled is essential to shift the weighty cargo, and even then it will take six unarmed individuals to move it slowly back into position. Should one of those labouring on the sled be struck down or unable to contribute, then the party will have to wait until a full six are able to work together on the task.

	Dragging the Rock back where it belong is half the battle. Once there, Marchers can use rough music to drive off the shades and restore the hearth magics that allow the Rock to ward the marshes. If the ''Ullsmere Rock'' is restored then the Grey Walkers will sink back into the waters of the Fens - if the stone is not returned then the dead will spread out across the bleak landscape and the Grey Fens will become [[Region_qualities#haunted]].

	One element that might help is the House Brawness banner depicting a Roaring Bear. This item was one of a number of items that were confiscated by the magistrates from the Brawness Household when they were tried. The Roaring Bear was an old barbarian banner that proudly hung in the house's hall for generations. It had a questionable aura at the time of the rebellion, but that has long since faded. Simple, of no expert design, and unlikely to ever have held an enchantment, it depicts a great bear roaring at the morning star. The trophy is thought to have been captured around the founding of the Empire as the unified Marcher nation drove back the Jotun from Bregasland, and new lands were claimed for the plough. Not a mighty war banner, but a ~~momento~~ of a house's arrival in a new land and symbol of what the household had won for themselves, Brawness would undoubtedly like it back.
