	A group of former slaves from [[Axos]] have spent the last few seasons walking the [[trods]], and are often mistaken for a small [[striding]] from a distance. They soon give themselves away as not being [[navarr]] - they are far too ill-prepared for the trods when seen up close. They have visited [[Anvil]] before; they claim to be descended from the Terun inhabitants of an ancient city in Axos, and have asked the Navarr to educate them about their "shared history".

	The Marracossans of [[Madruga#Trajadoz\|Trajadoz]] are, they claim, renowned artisans - whose [[Two_steps_on_the_water#Earning_Their_Way\|skill at tool-working]] cannot be matched. A bountiful season in their orchards and farms has seen a surge in trade with their immediate ~~neighbors~~ in [[Madruga#Torres\|Torres]] - but increasingly these foreigners wish to expand their trade - and their relationship - with the Empire beyond just the Brass Coast. With this goal, groups of artisans, merchants and (perhaps concerningly) priests from the settlement have been visiting nearby regions and territories to demonstrate their wares. The most ambitions of these parties have claimed Anvil as their ultimate destination - though whether they'll make it is another question.

	Travelling with one such group are individuals of a notably less mercantile character - soldiers in woven, laminated linen typical of Asavean light armour and the hanging robes of their ''Plenum'' 'nobility' have been seen travelling along the surest paths to the capital. Among them is the ''Legate'' - or General - Glaucia Herminia, a taciturn figure from the [[The_divide_between\|failed uprising in Marracossa]] who is characteristically tight-lipped, save for stating that he is visiting to represent his people.
