	The peace of Segura came to an abrupt end in 363YE when a great force of barbarians moved in from the west and took Anduz, scattering the foreigners and the Freeborn and burning much of the grassland. In quick succession, they swept through Yellow Chase and Anozeseri. The Freeborn [[#The_Brass_Coast_military_concerns\|armies]] clashed with the barbarian forces on the Iron Plains, but after days of vicious fighting, they were slowly pushed back to Anozel. The Freeborn senators demanded assistance in the [[Senate]] but while they had the support of [[Emperor Hugh]] for a campaign to drive the barbarians back, the rest of the Senate and the [[~~Military Council\|~~Military Council]] seemed more interested in apportioning blame than helping the Freeborn.

Despite concerns about [[Jotun]] raiders being a potential threat to the work crews (the Jotun were engaged in an invasion of the northern Lasambrian hills at the time), reconstruction of the damaged towers went without a hitch.

	In the Winter of 377YE a major offensive by the Red Wind Corsairs and Hounds of Glory, supported by a powerful [[Bound by Common Cause\|enchantment]] and over a thousand [[military unit\|auxiliaries]] drove the Lasambrians out of the Sobral Grasses, liberated the farms of Anozeseri and forced a barbarian retreat across the Iron Plains.

	Sadly, when Segura was conquered by the barbarians these towers were among the first structures razed to the ground and the economic advantages they brought to the Freeborn were lost. After the Lasambrian orcs were driven from the southern regions by Imperial forces, and ceded control of the northern regions to the Empire in return for a ceasefire, merchants both domestic and foreign turned their attention to repairing the towers.

	In Winter 378YE, a [[Rebuild_the_Towers_of_Anduz\|motion]] to rebuild the towers was brought before the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate\|Senate]] by Avisena i Ezmara i Guerra, the new Senator for the liberated Segura. Work began in spring, overseen in part by the celebrated architect Cassia i Remoraz i Erigo. Despite concerns about [[Jotun]] raiders being a potential threat to the work crews (the Jotun were engaged in an invasion of the northern Lasambrian hills at the time), reconstruction of the damaged towers went without a hitch. By the start of Summer 379YE, the towers were once again garrisoned by Imperial troops and the trade routes to the west and south potentially viable once again.

	Beginning not far from the [[Segura_spoils_of_war#Kabalai_Palace\|Kabalai Palace]], the ''[[Gloaming Road]]'' represents a trade route between the Brass Coast and Faraden. Established in early 381YE, it facilitates the trade of [[materials#Iridescent Gloaming\|Iridscent Gloaming]] to the west. At the time it was established, a blight affecting what little gloaming production the Faraden possess meant that the merchants were prepared to exchange large amounts of valuable mithril for the sought-after dyes. In Summer 383YE, the blight was effectively brought to an end through [[Through_my_sails#The_Gloaming_Blight\|the intervention]] of the [[Imperial Conclave]], significantly reducing the profits to be made through this trade. Initially, an overseer was appointed in conjunction with the Faraden. In Autumn 384YE, following the ascension of a new [[All_in_red#Change_Comes_Suddenly\|Liege of the Five Winds]] in Faraden, the title became [[Imperial title\|Imperial]] in nature, and the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate\|Senate]] took responsibility for maintaining the roads and bridges along the western part of the route.

	The peace of Segura came to an abrupt end in 363YE when a great force of barbarians moved in from the west and took Anduz, scattering the foreigners and the Freeborn and burning much of the grassland. In quick succession, they swept through Yellow Chase and Anozeseri. The Freeborn [[#The_Brass_Coast_military_concerns\|armies]] clashed with the barbarian forces on the Iron Plains, but after days of vicious fighting, they were slowly pushed back to Anozel. The Freeborn senators demanded assistance in the [[Imperial Senate\|Senate]] but while they had the support of [[Emperor Hugh]] for a campaign to drive the barbarians back, the rest of the Senate and the [[~~Imperial~~ Military Council\|Military Council]] seemed more interested in apportioning blame than helping the Freeborn. The political position was exacerbated by the deaths of the General of the [[The_Brass_Coast_military_concerns#The Red Wind Corsairs\|Red Wind Corsairs]] and the Senators for [[Madruga]] and [[Kahraman]] during the fighting on the Iron Plains.

	Segura remained a battleground for over a decade; every time the Freeborn tried to reclaim ground they were fought back. The garrison at Anozel kept regular patrols across the remaining regions, and the Lasambrian armies themselves seemed disinterested in doing more than occasionally raiding into the remaining Freeborn territories. Reports from the interior claimed that, after a frenzy of initial looting and killing, the orcs made only minimal efforts to slaughter those Freeborn who had not fled to the safety of Sobral Grasses or Lucksprings.
