	Previously, it was likely that the Sumaah would recognise the authority of any cardinal of the [[~~Imperial~~ Synod]] who contacted them, but their denunciation of the entire Synod as heretics means that this is most likely no longer the case.

	It is unclear what effect the accusation of heresy will have on international relations, but it is likely to significantly impact any missionary work the Synod attempts to engage in among people who are not hostile to Sumaah.

The Eastern Alliance has offered formal thanks to the Empire, and especially to the Jarmish Trading Cartel organised by Ferrero Sanguineo Rezia di Tassato, the [[Master of the Imperial Mint]]. Of some potential concern to the Empire is that as part of an agreement with '''Magician-Prince Barbara Radz''', ruler of Rigia and leader of the Eastern Alliance, involves trade in slaves. The details are not clear, but it appears that come the Spring Equinox an unknown number of Jarmish slaves will be arriving on the shores of the Empire. It is not apparent how many, or what arrangements have been made to accommodate them, nor what the legality of this peculiar exchange might be.

	The [[Senate]] and the [[~~Imperial~~ Conclave]] alike have agreed to send formal communications to the House of Princes in Jarm, offering apologies for past piracy against the Principalities. The information that the agreements has been made has partially mollified the House of Princes, but they are awaiting the actual apologies; they appear to expect formal letters. These can be [[Call Winged Messenger\|dispatched]] to '''Lord-Magister Anton Trescher of the Hidden Hook, Who attends at the House of Princes, In the City of Jarm''' who serves as an advisor to the Jarmish government on foreign affairs.

	While it is still a crime for anyone in Jarm to trade crystal mana to Imperial citizens, it is likely that once the formal apologies are received Imperial allies among the princes will be able to make a case for reducing or removing the restrictions, or at least countering the [[Trade_winds#The_Principalities_of_Jarm\|ongoing problems]] encountered by captains visiting northern and southern Jarm. Until they are successful, however, the ports of [[Principalities_of_Jarm_ports#Kavor_.28Northern_Principalities_of_Jarm.29\|Kavor]], [[Principalities_of_Jarm_ports#Vezak_.28Southern_Principalities_of_Jarm.29\|Vezak]] and Rigia will continue not to offer mana crystals to visiting captains.

	The House of the People of the [[Sumaah Republic]] has declared war on the Empire, and denounced the [[Imperial Synod]] as a den of [[Religious_Crimes#Heresy\|heretics]]. The [[Sumaah_Republic_ports\|port of Zemeh]] remains closed to Imperial citizens. Indeed, over the last three months it has finished expelling all Imperial citizens from its shores.

The [[Sumaah_Republic_ports\|port of Zemeh]] remains closed to Imperial citizens. Indeed, over the last three months it has finished expelling all Imperial citizens from its shores.

	This means that Imperial citizens can no longer send their [[fleet\|ships]] to Zemeh, nor trade with the Sumaah Republic. It is important to note that the Sumaah are still foreigners; although they have declared war on the Empire, the Empire has not formally accepted that state of affairs (this would require the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate\|Senate]] to [[Powers_of_the_Imperial_Senate#Declaration_of_War\|declare war]] in turn).

	Work has stalled on the [[embassy]] currently [[Construct_Sumaah_embassy_II\|under construction]] in [[Necropolis]]. While the Senate agreed to appoint an ambassador with authority to speak to the Sumaah on their behalf at the Empire, it was done during the final session of the Autumn Equinox and so the title has not yet been appointed.
