	The insidious blight that struck the [[materials#Iridescent Gloaming\|Iridescent Gloaming]] production of Faraden in 380YE has been causing a great deal of disruption in the west. The Empire was spared the sinister blight as the result of a joint effort between the ''[[Sadogua\|Brother of Wizards]]'' and certain magicians versed in the lore of [[Night magic]]. Following a [[declaration]] of [[Concord]] in the [[~~Imperial~~ Conclave]] during the Spring Equinox, the [[eternal]] Sadogua was given [[383YE_Spring_Equinox_Conclave_sessions#Concord_:_Sadogua_and_the_Faraden_butterflies\|permission to share the cure]] with the magicians of Faraden in the form of larvae and grubs immune to the blight. The eternal has wasted no time providing the Faraden with the larvae and the means to quickly propagate them. Restoring Faraden gloaming production will not happen overnight, but at least it is now achievable.

The eternal has wasted no time providing the Faraden with the larvae and the means to quickly propagate them. Restoring Faraden gloaming production will not happen overnight, but at least it is now achievable.

	Releasing the means to end the blight means that several of the trading and magician families unhappy with the Empire over sanctions have adjusted their attitude. Following some localised discussion, and with the encouragement of the ''Brother of Wizards'', a consortium of Faraden magicians and merchants have offered a [[Conclave_vault#Bequests\|bequest]] to the Imperial Conclave. The bequest amounts to 3 wains of mithril each season. The Faraden have asked that the Conclave use a [[declaration]] of [[endowment]] naming the [[Conclave order]] that was most instrumental in ensuring the creation and distribution of the cure. The mithril would remain until the Empire went to war with Faraden or enacted an embargo against Faraden merchants.

	The Imperial Synod upheld a mandate to tear out the features of the buildings built by Almodin Oktístis that reverenced the Asavean gods, and destroy them in such a manner as to send a clear message to the people of Asavea that their gods would not be tolerated. When the Asaveans become aware of this - when the new reaches them from ~~travelers~~ to the Empire - the Plenum appears nonplussed. Why would the Empire employ Almodin Oktístis if they were just going to then ruin the buildings he had made?

	The response from the Temple of Baddu the Builder, however, is much more unequivocal. The priests of Baddu are influential - they are after all responsible for almost all construction in Nemoria and are considered the finest architects and builders in Asavea. They prevail not only on those tied to their temple, but to the followers of the other Asavean gods - many of whom have been directly insulted by the Synod's actions.

	The transition from a nation where slavery was legal, if not widespread, to one where it is illegal has not been without some turmoil. The sudden release of slaves, and the need for many wealthy concerns to reorganise themselves, means that the economy is very much in flux. The immediate effect is that there are significantly fewer goods available to purchase on the docks at Kantor. Ilarch ~~Maxatious~~ has appealed to Imperial traders not to let this disruption discourage them from coming to the Towers of Kantor. Indeed, as per the civil service estimation, the situation has recovered somewhat since the Spring Equinox, but will not resume normal levels until after the Autumn Equinox 383YE at the very earliest.

	The Faraden as a nation are divided in their attitudes to the Empire. For years the anti-Imperial faction in Faraden was composed largely of priestly families unhappy with the attitude of the Imperial Synod. Then they received support from the powerful Ogudai warrior family and their allies after a disastrous incident with one of their beloved scions. Now, a number of merchants and magicians have likewise turned their back on the Empire urging a stronger trading focus to the east... and potentially to the north as well.

	The Jotun orcs are not great traders, but there are merchants among their number. The Empire generally thinks of the northern Jarl of ~~Keirheim~~ and their allies when they consider trade, but there are presumably Jotun in Narkyst who also look to trade with their neighbours in times of peace. With the influence of the Lasambrian Jotun and their understanding of [[Prosperity]], there are potentially more opportunities for the Faraden - who are at peace with the Jotun for the time being - to trade with the orcs.

	The sanctions imposed by both the Empire and the Asavean government mean that any fleet captain trading with Nemoria itself suffers a significant loss of profit. That loss could have been offset by the presence of the two temples - one in Feroz and one in Nemoria. Unfortunately the Temple in Nemoria has been heavily damaged by the mob. As such, confidence among Asavean merchants trading with the Empire has been badly shaken. If the Temple in Nemoria is repaired by the Senate then the benefits of having an obvious symbol of Asavean and Imperial cooperation would resume.
