	You will be playing ~~Vallorn~~ husks of either dead humans or orcs. Simple base layers will be sufficient, but any [[Navarr]], [[Highguard]], or [[Dawn]] kit you have will make for a better looking encounter. We have a number of small latex domino masks to wear, along with shredded shrouds. A simple effect can also be achieved with face paint and our makeup team can help apply it at the Battle Prep Tent. We also have plastic vines that you can accessorise your costume with.		You will be playing vallorn husks of either dead humans or orcs.

	From the reports coming in from the spires in Spiral, the war scouts have been able to track the Druj advance and identify a party of Vikari mages operating alongside a larger force of Chikad warriors. Led by a young member of the Ghulai ritualist caste the warband are currently making their way north out of Screed via '''Tractus Animo''' having spent several days upon the Black Plateau.

The effect of the oppression in Spiral makes further information uncertain, but prognosticators have highlighted that intercepting the warband, defeating them, and discovering what the Vikari have undertaken - be it from the orcs themselves or their human slaves - is a prudent course of action.

	The shores of the Brass Coast are in disarray, as the Grendel navies scour the coast line the people of Feroz do their best to hide, flee or fight back. For most they choose to flee across the Sorecco estuary to Madruga, hoping to evade the Broken Shore orcs. Amidst the chaos and confusion that reigns from Oranseri's shining cliffs and beaches, through the Cazar Straits and down the long shore of Fontargenta come scattered reports from those fleeing the violence; enough to allow the prognosticators at Anvil to do their work.

	A conjunction has been identified to '''Ponta Delgordo''', a small harbour on one of the serene islands in the northern ~~Catar~~ Straits. Here a force of Grendel troops has come ashore, pillaged the houses and businesses of the village, then set up camp on the headlands to act as a garrison to prevent anyone leaving the isle. The villagers are petrified to leave their homes and have offered little resistance to the hardened mercenaries from the Broken Shore. Now the Grendel troops have bedded in they are content to drink and feast on the islands rich produce, breaking into cellars each day to secure provisions and sweet wines. A sudden and swift strike by the Heroes of Anvil will most certainly catch them unaware, either killing the force utterly, or scattering them across the island. If successful then it would allow brave Freeborn resistance fighters to reach the island to lead the villagers out of their homes and down to the harbour where they can evacuate in the fishing fleet to a refuge in Madruga.

	Two large conjunctions have been identified by the prognosticators operating here in Anvil. In the west of Vale's Lament lies the woodlands of '''Darkening Boughs''', where the trees rise high and the canopy has already grown thick with leaves. The Navarr vates monitoring the growing power of the vallorn here have identified the remains of a ruined way house that has yet to be consumed by the forest. How long it has been abandoned is unknown, but the stout wooden palisade is still strong and could be made use of by troops in the area. It has been suggested that it could be used as a rally and resupply point over the coming season. If the immediate area can be cleared of vallornspawn long enough for a [[Ward_of_the_Black_Waste\|ritual warding]] to be raised, it will enable Imperial forces enough time to bring in supplies and the strength of arms to hold it against the encroaching forest. If successful this stronghold will contribute 500 points of military strength to the defence of ~~Broceliande~~ this coming season.

	Before each summit, the prognosticators produce lists of every conjunction that they have been able to identify based on reports compiled by the war scouts. These are not all the conjunctions, these are simply all the conjunctions that they have been able to find. Because of their focus, these conjunctions are usually very military-orientated; they are focused on the movement of the Empire's armies and the barbarian forces arrayed against them. Smaller conjunctions that allow groups to pursue their own personal agendas are only rarely discovered by the Imperial civil service.

	The campaign in Segura has been a qualified success for the Empire with the Jotun of the Lasambrian Hills prevented from gaining further territory. Yet there has been no resounding conclusion to the fighting, and no decisive victory has been achieved. Raiding parties and pillagers criss-crossing the open plains have been thwarted by a power enchantment of Autumn, limiting their ability to prey on isolated settlements and trade caravans. But this power is fading and raiders from the Corazon ~~tribe~~ are moving into positions to strike. Two conjunctions have been identified on the plains of Segura on the evening of the second day of the equinox.

But this power is fading and raiders from the Corazon are moving into positions to strike. Two conjunctions have been identified on the plains of Segura on the evening of the second day of the equinox.

	The first conjunction opens to the '''Seguridade Plain''' in Anozeseri, a wide expanse of grassland that surrounds the approaches to the first of the great Towers of Anduz in the region. Those travelling in support of the Imperial Armies reported that a raiding party is closing in on the area, evidently planning to strike against the small volunteer garrison and eliminate the protection they can provide to the traders passing through the area. Intercepting the Jotun force, either harrying them or eliminating them entirely will stop the immediate threat posed to trade in Segura that arrives from distant Faraden. Failure to stop the raiders will reduce trade income from Faraden over the next season.

	The fighting in the icy tundra of Sermersuaq this season has witnessed vast forces clash time and again to vie for control of the lost land of the Winterfolk. Even with a powerful spring enchantment slowing the loss of blood, revitalising broken warriors, and giving one last gasp of breath to the dying, the butcher's bill has been long and costly. Yet there is hope too, word comes that a number of soldiers from the Imperial armies have been captured by Jarl Heimgar, whose Skjaldir and Ulvenwar forces surrounded units of the injured from the Tusks and the Bloodcloaks. Missives have been exchanged with the Jotun and they have made it clear that the captives can be freed and brought to the Grimnirs if the Empire sends warriors to clash with the Jarl's forces at '''Pinehall Meadow'''. Calling out the Jarl and challenging the orcs for the lives of the injured will be seen as an act of valour by the Jotun. If successful, some 50 troops will be freed and allowed to rejoin their armies in Sermersuaq.
