	In Winter 378YE, the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate]] modified Imperial law to make clear that any delegates from a foreign nation who come to Anvil have the full protection of [[Imperial law]]. This means that it is illegal to kill them - any attack on them will be prosecuted by the magistrates as if it were an attack on an Imperial citizen.

	The Druj insist that [[The Barrens#Murderdale\|Murderdale]] and the [[The Barrens#Carmine Fields\|Carmine Fields]] are relinquished to their control.

	In return, they are prepared to accept Dawnish control of [[The Barrens#Dawnguard\|Dawnguard]] and the settlement of Drycastle. Just as Murderdale and the Carmine Fields have been held by the orcs for many years, the castle has been part of [[Dawn]] for just as long. The Druj suggest that returning to this status quo represents the most stable possible future for [[the Barrens]].

	It is not entirely clear who has the authority to deal with the Druj orcs.

However, the precise legal position of the [[Advisor on ~~orc affairs~~]] has never been completely clarified and there is some suggestion that this title might have authority to deal with all the other orc nations.

	You have to hand it to the [[Druj]], they don't give up. They sent ambassadors to treat with the Senate a year ago - but the dreadful storm meant there was not time to meet and they returned empty-handed. So they invited the envoys from the Empire to a ~~parlay~~ last season and that overture was rejected. There's an old [[The Marches\|Marcher]] saying "First failure's a test, second's a lesson, but the third is a block of wood good only for the fire." Presumably the Druj have never heard it.

	The delegation is notably different to the preceding one. They refer to their leader as a "Tepel", it is clear he is a figure of some authority in the Druj. There is no strange magic; instead they appear keen to put those who meet them at their ease by doing nothing out of the ordinary. As most folk who ever had any dealings with the Druj will attest, that's pretty unnerving by itself.		The delegation is notably different to the preceding one.
