	Any military unit assigned to one of these actions risks suffering serious casualties. All military units assigned to the campaign will suffer a reduction to their effective fighting strength for the next six months, representing soldiers lost or crippled in the fight against the savage vallornspawn. This penalty will be applied to the character rather than the resource; paying to change personal resource to a different resource will not clear this penalty. In the event that a character uses a ritual such as [[Conclave of Trees and Shadow]] to turn a different personal resource into a military unit, the penalty will still apply and will persist when the resource turns back - the essence of the resource has been depleted by the damage caused from fighting in the vallorn miasma.

	It is also possible for [[~~Imperial army~~\|Imperial armies]] to commit to fighting the vallorn in any or all of these territories. To do so, the general of the army would need to move to the territory and issue a defensive order. The army would then contribute its strength to the effort to defeat the vallornspawn, along with the strength of any military unit [[Military_unit#Support_Army\|supporting]] them. Any army in the territory will be unable to resupply, and will in fact take casualties as if it were fighting an enemy force.

	The Silent Bell have reports of one final group of Heirs of Terunael taking action following the Summer Solstice, but they believe they are no longer in the Empire. There are unverified reports of what seem to be a score or so Heirs of Terunael heading north-east out of [[Volodmartz#Suvretz\|Suvretz]] into [[Otkodov]] - specifically into southern [[Otkodov#Sküld\|Sküld]] where a vallorn is believed to lie in uneasy slumber.

The easternmost territory of the [[Thule]] is beyond the remit of the Silent Bell, but they believe their information is reliable.

	As with Liathaven, Sküld is not protected by the declarations of the Imperial Conclave so it is likely the Heirs would be able to secure the assistance of Yaw'nagrah with whatever scheme they are hatching in the north. It is also difficult to know whether the Thule are aware of the threat or not - or how they would respond. There is a small chance of danger to the Empire - in theory any vallornspawn raised in Sküld are as likely to come west into Volodmartz as they are to press north further into Otkodov. After all, it is believed that the vallorn does not much care for the frigid climate of the far north. Still, for the moment at least, the threat of whatever the Heirs are doing in Otkodov seems confined ~~the~~ the Thule lands.

During the Summer Solstice, the Assembly of Nine sent the Silent Bell to investigate the dangerous group who call themselves the Heirs of Terunael - a timely decision as it turns out.

	The so-called '''Heirs of Terunael''' appear to be humans - predominantly with [[briar]] [[lineage]] - who wish to spread the influence of the [[vallorn]] for some reason. There is some evidence that this group is just the latest iteration of a conspiracy that has been active in the Empire - especially among the Navarr - for years. Groups such as the Whispering Drays - a gathering of briars who sought some mad communion with the vallorn - may have been influenced by the Heirs of Terunael. There is some evidence that survivors of these groups, and others like them, have come together in loose alliance with the Heirs to put their various unhinged schemes into operation. They are best known for their involvement in the recent chaos in [[Liathaven]] and [[Brocéliande]], working in collusion with the Children of [[Yaw'nagrah]] to spread the vallorns through those territories. With their defeat in Brocéliande, the assumption is that they will be forced to regroup and provide a degree of respite to the Empire... an assumption that could have been dangerously premature.

	The vallornspawn of ~~Therunin~~ are dangerous, but have recently suffered significant losses. The [[Wither the Seed]] curse makes them sluggish and slow to react. The presence of Rivers Run Red however means that any casualties will be doubled. Even if it is removed then armies in Therunin will suffer 1,000 casualties split between them and then mitigated by their orders. Due to the [[383YE_Autumn_Equinox_winds_of_war#Water\|recent developments in Bregasland]] it is [[383YE_Autumn_Equinox_winds_of_war#Game_Information_:_Bregasland\|challenging]] for an Imperial army to enter Liathaven on a defensive order - the regions that the Empire can easily reach are all held by the Jotun and so would require an attacking order to enter meaning the army will contribute nothing to the Protect Liathaven action.

	As in Hercynia, shortly before the Autumn Equinox someone raised the potent [[curse]] [[Rivers Run Red]] in Therunin. Three days after the first taint was spotted in the water, however, the magic sustaining the curse broke apart. News quickly came from the Lower Tarn Valley that the magicians of the Great Forest ~~tribe~~ had taken immediate action using one of the rituals the Empire shared with them after their arrival - casting [[Rivers of Life]] to neutralise the threat posed by the pestilent Spring magic. The orcs are making their further preparations - the Spears of the Pine will protect their settlements and the building site of the Holt of the Oak.
