	Several summer heralds have been observed across Bitterhead, suggesting that a summer regio may be located nearby. It is not clear how much use the Druj can make of a summer regio, but their commanders will be painfully aware that the magical locus may be a key target for the Empire's attack. If the Empire are able to seriously threaten the regio that would force the Druj to bring additional forces to resist the attack, limiting their strength in other areas of Bitterhead.

	Better yet, if held for long enough, a coven would be able to summon one of Cathan ~~Canes~~'s Frozen Citadels in the region of Hope's Rest. A task that is not currently achievable from the Imperial Regio in Anvil. Should time allow, and the nations journeying to the area be well prepared, then additional Summer rituals - or those of other realms - could also be attempted.

	During the Winter Solstice, the Imperial prognosticators have identified two potential opportunities to use a [[Sentinel_Gate#Major_Conjunctions\|major conjunction]] to send large numbers of Imperial heroes to [[the Barrens]]. Both conjunctions take place on Saturday morning; the [[~~Imperial~~ Military Council]] will choose between then, and which nations will be involved, during the [[muster]] on Friday evening.

	The recent conquests of Hope's Rest and the Carmine Fields, dubbed the Iron Causeway, has split the Druj's control of The Barrens. Whilst the last season of campaigning has seen heavy fighting in the east of the territory, focussed towards The Fangs, the situation is different in the west. There is no significant military presence in Druj-held Dawnguard, Murderdale, or beneath the Eaves of Peytaht. The orcs in the west are primarily guards, slavers, and the arkad retinues of the Druj overlords who subjugate the populace.

	That's what seems to have happened here. There is very little information available to the Empire on what this person is up to, but what is known is that they are privy to some of the councils of the het, there are wild rumours that they have worked closely with them or for them. It's not clear what exactly is involved, but ritual magic of some kind is certainly involved. The likeliest explanation is that this individual is some kind of enchanter and is able to provide the het with powerful aid, for which they are undoubtedly being well paid.

	That is the simplest, likeliest explanation. Few things in war are simple however, and it could be a boon to the Empire to find out more. To do that they would need to capture the collaborator and bring them back to Anvil, assuming it it possible to do so. The individual is a small amount of notoriety in the Empire, having been declared a sorcerer back in 380YE by Eudaemon of Halcyon Spire... If possible the Imperial heroes should capture the collaborator and bring [[Sorcery#Active_Sorcerers\|'''Renee du Loire''']] back to Anvil for questioning.
