	If the Senate commissions the road repair project, and the Military Council is prepared to accept the Baumeister's proposal, it will require the assistance of an entire [[Imperial army]], which will need to come to Kahraman and engage in a [[Army_orders#Solid_Defence\|solid defence]]. They will also need to explicitly state in their orders that they want their soldiers to work with the Baumeisters to help restore the roads of Kahraman.

	At the Winter Solstice, the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate]] instructed the [[Appraisal#The_Prognosticators_Office\|prognosticators office]] to prepare two [[appraisal\|appraisals]].

Naomi is unable to conduct both appraisals, but the motion to appraise the infrastructure of Kahraman was raised first, so Naomi of Virtue's Rest has spent the last season doing her best to assess the problems. The situation has been made especially difficult due to the [[Grind\|arrival of forty thousand Jotun]] not long after the Winter Solstice.

	Still, Naomi is adept at rising to the challenge and eager to address the [[#The_Kahraman_Problem\|Kahraman Problem]]. Even before the traitor Stephen of Sarcombe inspired the Jotun to [[Down_that_road#One_Tree_at_a_Time_.28Battle.29\|sabotage the roads and bridges]], travel through the hills and mountains of northern Kahraman was arduous. Already a treacherous land of broken rock, barren mountainsides, fast-flowing streams, and jagged-edged valleys, as often as not poor weather made travel even more hazardous. What roads there were required constant maintenance, and the scattered settlements that shelter in the valleys often had more pressing concerns than ensuring a bridge two days travel from their walls was properly repaired. There was a proposal, prepared by the Civil Service in 382YE, to build [[Starting_at_the_end#Kahraman:_The_Cinnabar_Roads\|Cinnabar roads]] to address this problem. Unfortunately, that proposal relied on the bridges and roads still being there to be repaired... And before any problem can be solved, it must first be understood.

	Restoring the damage done by the Jotun will take time and funds. In the meantime the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate]] could use a [[Senate motion]] to make funds available for the hiring of League mercenaries and Freeborn warriors to protect the caravans coming down out of northern Kahraman. This would incur an ongoing cost of 10 thrones each season to the Imperial treasury; the bandits and raiders are only becoming bolder in their depredations. If the Senate did this, then as long as they continued to pay, the lost production of the Great Mine of Briante and the Damatian Cliffs would be restored. There would be no further risk from casual raiders - although the Jotun might still threaten the Bourse seats if they acted on a larger scale (by invading with armies, or enacting the kind of scheme that might provoke a [[Sentinel_Gate#Major_Conjunctions\|major conjunction]] of the [[Sentinel Gate]], for example). This would also restore faith in the [[Dhomiro of the Cinnabar Hills]], and allow the [[Mistress of the Dust Parador]] to regain full access to their ministries.

	Kahraman is not a poor territory. Both the [[Damatian Cliffs]] and [[Great Mine of Briante]] are found here, providing significant bounties of [[white granite]] and [[mithril]]. There are plenty of [[mine\|mines]] and [[mana site\|mana sites]] in the hills and mountains that provide their owners with great [[Prosperity]]. Thanks to the destruction wrought by the Jotun last year, caravans carrying mithril and white granite cannot take the direct routes to [[Tassato]] they once used. Now they need to go out of their way, down onto the plains, and south-east through [[Madruga]]. This unfortunately leaves them easy prey for [[orc]] raiders.		Kahraman is not a poor territory.

	Despite adopting the Virtues, the ~~Lassambrian~~ [[orc\|orcs]] are not shy about raiding their enemies and taking their wealth. The orc bandits who once lived in the high peaks of Kahraman are even worse, especially now they are united under the mountain banner of the Jotun champion ''Geht Ahan''. There is even the occasional gang of [[the Brass Coast\|Freeborn]] thieves, prepared to prey on their neighbours' prosperity. The Lasambrian Jotun have taken advantage of this situation more than once. Only last season, Imperial heroes were called upon to prevent a Lasambrian warband from [[No_Peace#We_know_.28Conjunction.29\|striking against caravans]] leaving Serra Briante. They were successful, but the warband belonging to ''Warleader Duarte'' was just the first pebbles before the avalanche.

	Unless the situation changes, these regular raids mean that the production of the Damatian Cliffs is reduced by 7 wains of white granite each season going forward. The production of the Great Mine of Briante is also reduced by 6 wains each season. Not all the lost wains will be stolen by bandits or thieves; the reduction also represents the challenge of getting workers safely to and from the quarry and the mine.

	It is not only the Great Mine and the Cliffs that are ~~effected~~. The [[Dhomiro of the Cinnabar Hills]] is coming under increasing pressure to find some solution to the problems besetting the families who live in the hills and mountains. As people look to their own security, old squabbles have ignited and old grievances are being settled. The Dhomiro will no longer have access to the two highest ranks of their [[ministry]]. Likewise, with the difficulty of safely moving metal out of the mountains the [[Mistress of the Dust Parador]] can no longer access the top two ranks of ''their'' ministry. On the other hand, the matter may well become moot if the Jotun successfully conquer [[Kahraman#Jade Range\|Jade Range]], where the Parador stands.

			If the Jotun are not stopped then even if the Jotun are pushed out of Kahraman the Mistress of the Dust Parador will struggle to regain the full use out of their ministry as the families are either killed, taken as thralls, or take up weapons for the Jotun.

			The band that accompanies Jarl Thraggan is made up of a combined force of [[Elite_Jotun_troops#Ra.C3.B0lj.C3.B3st\|Raoljost]], [[Elite_Jotun_troops#Ulvenwar\|Ulvenwar]], and [[Elite_Jotun_troops#Skjaldir\|Skjaldir]].

The deaths of the yeofolk would see the Reeve of Boar's Market losing the highest ranks of their mithril and white granite ministries for at least a year.

			Not much is known about Venator beyond that they are one of the few remaining ranking heralds of Gryphon-King, and that they have been calling for the head of Edric de Gauvain. The yeofolk of Perigord often wear the traditional black and orange colours of the house which may have contributed to the mistaken identity given the colours of de Gauvains are orange and black.

			The pursuers are made up of a combined force of [[Elite_Jotun_troops#Ra.C3.B0lj.C3.B3st\|Raoljost]], [[Elite_Jotun_troops#Ulvenwar\|Ulvenwar]], and [[Elite_Jotun_troops#Skjaldir\|Skjaldir]]. Normally this would have been considered the responsibility of the [[Knight-protector\|Knight-protector of Summer]], but the title is currently vacant. Given that this represents a threat to those who trade at Boar's Market it is instead the responsibility of the [[Reeve of Boar's Market]], '''Guy Grimbold the Elder''', to kill Venator.

	If the Senate commissions the road repair project, and the Military Council is prepared to accept the Baumeister's proposal, it will require the assistance of an entire [[Imperial army]], which will need to come to Kahraman and engage in a [[Army_orders#Solid_Defence\|solid defence]]. They will also need to explicitly state in their orders that they want their soldiers to work with the Baumeisters to help restore the roads of Kahraman. If this is done then with the assistance of the Commonwealth engineers, the labour cost to [[#Restoring the roads\|restore the roads]] is waived.

	Most importantly, perhaps, the repaired roads and the security provided by the ''Kamkrag'' would mean that, as long as the network of low towers remained intact, every mine in the territory operated by a citizen of the Brass Coast would be able to produce 2 additional ingots each season (of the mine's base material).

	This project won't have any effect until the roads in northern Kahraman are repaired. However, it could operate concurrently with that project. Because the ''Kamkrag'' are just an extension of the road repair project, it would also be possible to use a single senate motion and commission to establish ''both'' the basic repairs, ''and'' the network of ''Kamkrag'',and take advantage of the Bataguin proposal. The costs for the two projects would be added together, taking nine months to complete.		This project won't have any effect until the roads in northern Kahraman are repaired.
