	The national assembly of the Brass Coast passed a statement of principle during the Autumn Equinox to encourage the Freeborn to hold proudly to their traditions and faith. The statement, raised by ''Sagremar i Zayden'', drew on the example set by the paragon [[Kethry]] of the Kesh. Though the treaty with the Grendel guarantees that those who live in Feroz are to be untroubled (at least until the Spring Equinox 384YE) there is still the question about what happens after. As it currently stands all [[Resource#Personal_Resource\|personal holdings]] based in Feroz, aside from military units and fleets, will soon see a steep drop in production as only the most inventive citizens are able to continue handling their resource and collect at least some of the wealth.

As it currently stands all [[Resource#Personal_Resource\|personal holdings]] based in Feroz, aside from military units and fleets, will soon see a steep drop in production as only the most inventive citizens are able to continue handling their resource and collect at least some of the wealth.

	A common topic discussed in [[The_Brass_Coast_economic_interests#Paradors\|paradors]] across the Brass Coast is what the people left in Feroz should do next. Some suggest that the Freeborn should simply abandon Feroz for the next two years and return when the time of the treaty expires (accompanied by the [[~~Imperial army~~\|Imperial armies]] of course). But there are others who see a grander picture and say that not only should the Freeborn remain in Feroz, but they should do it with [[Pride]] and [[Courage]] and make life as difficult as possible for the Grendel invaders. Still others suggest that it would be for the best to remain in Feroz, to cooperate with the orcs of the Broken Shore, and bide their time while the Empire marshals its forces.

	This may be the last opportunity the Brass Coast Assembly - indeed any assembly of the Imperial Synod - has to influence the situation in Feroz. Once the period of free movement guaranteed by the treaty expires, it will be very difficult for priests to enact [[mandate\|mandates]] that affect Feroz without the permission of the Grendel governor.

	A common topic discussed in [[The_Brass_Coast_economic_interests#Paradors\|paradors]] across the Brass Coast is what the people left in Feroz should do next. Some suggest that the Freeborn should simply abandon Feroz for the next two years and return when the time of the treaty expires (accompanied by the [[~~Imperial army~~\|Imperial armies]] of course). But there are others who see a grander picture and say that not only should the Freeborn remain in Feroz, but they should do it with [[Pride]] and [[Courage]] and make life as difficult as possible for the Grendel invaders. Still others suggest that it would be for the best to remain in Feroz, to cooperate with the orcs of the Broken Shore, and bide their time while the Empire marshals its forces.

	The orcs of the Broken Shore have spent the last three months consolidating their hold on the territory, moving soldiers into [[Feroz#Afarjasse\|Afarjasse]] and [[Feroz#Morajasse\|Morajasse]]. Their control of Feroz is not uncontested. Thanks to the treaty, the Grendel are now foreigners; they have the full protection of Imperial law.
