	If this mandate is enacted, it will have three lingering effects. Until the start of the Summer Solstice 386YE, any Highborn [[~~Imperial army~~\|army]] that fights in the Brass Coast, or in Feroz, will gain a flat bonus of one-tenth to defend or take territory. In addition, any Highborn [[military unit]] that fights in the Brass Coast of Feroz during this time will gain a +1 rank bonus to their effective strength.

	There is a restriction here however; if the Highborn assembly urges the warriors of Highguard to support the Brass Coast, no similar statement of principle or mandate will create benefits to fight the enemies of the Empire until a year has passed, or even longer if the Highborn find a way to extend the effects of the mandate.

	The Highborn are not the only potential allies the Brass Coast has. During the battle for Kahraman, the Fire of the South possessed a powerful enchantment of the Winter realm that made them merciless in battle against the Jotun, taking every opportunity to cut down and kill their adversaries. Implacable and merciless, they targeted baggage trains, executed the fallen, and cut down anyone attempting to flee without hesitation. Cold and calculating to the point of callousness, there was none of the easy camaraderie or joy-in-battle that often accompanies a Freeborn force. At night, their campfires burned green and blue, and provided little heat, such was the chilling power of the enchantment.		The Highborn are not the only potential allies the Brass Coast has.

	It seems that this display of Winter magic did not go unnoticed; the [[Tharim\|Bound King]] is by all accounts extremely impressed with the change in the Freeborn army. Tharim has so far [[Chaos,_and_the_stillness_of_it#The_Aid_of_the_Bound_King\|provided aid to the Navarr]], and to [[Throw_back_the_echoes#Tharim\|the Dawnish]]. Indeed, his agreement to aid the people of Dawn in retaking [[the Barrens]] has, conveniently, just expired. He has dispatched an emissary to make a similar offer to the [[general]] of the [[Fire of the South]] - and only the Fire of the South. In return for a [[declaration]] of [[Concord]] in the [[~~Imperial~~ Conclave]] inviting him to feast on the [[mana site\|mana sites]] and [[herb garden\|herb gardens]] of the Brass Coast, he will instruct the knights currently in the Barrens to join the Freeborn army in Kahraman. As long as they were fighting the Jotun or the Grendel, the grim knights of Tharim would provide 1,000 force to the army. The agreement would begin immediately and last until the start of the Summer Solstice 386YE. During that time he would send his black frost to wither the plants and drain essence from the crystals to satiate his endless hunger. Each herb garden would produce 3 fewer drams of [[True Vervain\|true vervain]], and each mana site would produce 1 fewer mana crystal for the same period as the knights fought alongside the army.

	There is one other restriction; Tharim is unimpressed that his knights have recently been forced to fight alongside the [[Knights of Glory]]. He wants to be very clear that if the general of the Fire of the South accepts the aid of another eternal, forcing his warriors to fight alongside them, then he will end the deal immediately... but will still expect to exact his full payment. Assuming the Brass Coast accepts his offer, during the time fighting alongside the army Tharim believes his servants would have much to teach the Fire of the South about the best way to mercilessly crush those who dare to trespass in their dominion, and hints strongly that he might be minded to provide further aid after the year were over, assuming the army continued to embrace their implacable slaughter.

	Even the Zemress islanders don't call for Zemress to be recognised as the founder of a tribe. They append the name of Zemress to their family name, before their tribal name, to show their affection for and connection to the exemplar. Yet they still, overwhelmingly, see themselves as Guerra, Erigo, and Riqueza. Indeed, that connection has done more to help them become true citizens of the Brass Coast than anything else. Likewise, the Freefolk who have discussed joining the Brass Coast have always done so on the understanding that they would become part of the tribes, not stand apart from them.		Even the Zemress islanders don't call for Zemress to be recognised as the founder of a tribe. They append the name of Zemress to their family name, before their tribal name, to show their affection for and connection to the exemplar. Yet they still, overwhelmingly, see themselves as Guerra, Erigo, and Riqueza. Indeed, that connection has done more to help them become true citizens of the Brass Coast than anything else. Likewise, the Freefolk who have discussed joining the Brass Coast have always done so on the understanding that they would become part of the tribes, not stand apart from them.

	~~So while~~ the ~~priests~~ of the ~~Brass Coast are interested~~ to ~~see what qualities it was~~ that the ~~Assembly feels helped~~ the ~~three sisters found~~ a nation, ~~and~~ bring a people ~~together~~, ~~they want to be very~~ clear that there is ~~no support for attempting~~ to ~~create additional tribes~~ to ~~stand alongside~~ the ~~Riqueza~~, ~~Erigo~~, and ~~Guerra~~.		Signififcant concerns remain that this approach, fails to take proper account of the unique history of the Zemress Islanders and the Free Folk. To break the deadlock, Rhaego i Zemress, proposes a different solution. He has been collaborating with several prominent Freeborn citizens, Bakar i Riqueza, Ahshen i Fiel i Guerra, Azir i Shartha i Riqueza, Rocio i Fijadoz i Guerra, and Marta i Guerra to name but a few. While he can't speak for them, he has spoken with them and many of the others who have been working on this thorny problem.

			The idea he proposes is that people who joining the Freeborn nation adapt their names to match their personal history. Rhaego's suggestion is that native Freeborn retain the traditional naming convention of Given Name i Family Name i Tribe Name. When others join the nation from elsewhere they can choose to demonstrate their Proud heritage by adopting another name between the family name and the tribe name. As a Zemress Islander, Rhaego could then announce themselves as Rhaego i Ezmara i Zemress i Erigo - if they wished to use their full name. Of course some Freeborn would shorten the names in some situations, some would drop some parts for political reasons - for instance to show allegiance to the whole nation rather than one family or tribe.

			Such a proposal might preserve the founding nature of the Three Sisters, ensuring that their place in Freeborn society remains sacrosanct, but give room for those who join the nation to bring their own Proud heritage with them. The idea is met with a range of opinions, some people think it's a terrible, some people think it is a wonderful idea. But what is clear is that there is not immovable resistance to the proposal. One problem people point out is the Assembly would need to decide on how to describe that new part of the name, since it's not family or tribe, what would it be called? Crucially if the Freeborn Assembly coalesced around a proposal of that kind, and supported it wholeheartedly, then it would be quickly accepted by the nation.

			If enacted this mandate would see cartloads of Jotun corpses moved from where they fell in Kahraman to the borders of Reinos and Liathaven. There is no way of telling how the Jotun would react to this, but it would be very unlikely to anger them more than [[#Pyre\|burning the bodies]] or [[#Ditch\|looting them]].
