	The civil service have assessed the potential for a raid on Beoraidh and identified a number of important possibilities. The first is that this raid will produce very little in the way of wealth. By all accounts this is a frontier city with none of the ostentatious wealth that is on show in Dubhtraig. There is money here - for certain - but it's not the kind of wealth that you can easily carry away in a raid. That means that neither [[fleet\|fleets]] nor [[military unit\|military units]] that are allocated to raid Beoraidh are likely to produce even a fraction of the wealth obtained in the sack of ~~Dubtraig~~. Instead, any raid will inevitably be focused on freeing slaves - for that is the wealth that the town possesses in great abundance. By all accounts, there are more people in chains in Beoraidh than without them.

	Fortunately the port is not nearly as well protected as the Grendel capital, but it is still a difficult target, especially with those half finished defences. The defences themselves represent the first obvious target. They are not complete yet, and won't be for another season. That means there is a single narrow window of opportunity to attack the port before it becomes impregnable against a raid of this kind. Of course such a fortification would not only protect Boerath, it will help the Grendel to defend the entirety of territory of Mareave and that means they can afford to release more armies to go north to attack the Empire in Spiral - or wherever the Grendel armada might choose to transport them. The completion of the fortification is not likely to signal an immediate attack, but it will hasten the day the next attack comes.

	Assuming it gets completed. If a large enough force attacked the port, they could destroy the fortification before it was complete. It's not possible to carry off the White Granite sadly, it's just too heavy for that, but all the supporting timbers could be burned out and the structure collapsed and ruined. If the Empire committed to the attack, then the fortification would be levelled, and the Grendel would have to begin over, a task that would take at least a year, assuming they had fresh supplies of White Granite available.

	The second target is the arena itself. This large structure is just outside the bounds of the port and will be more difficult to reach, but with sufficient vessels and soldiers, the Empire could seize the building and destroy it. The arena is effectively a giant training ground for Grendel soldiers - without it it would become impossible for the Grendel to raise an army in Mareave. They likely could raise one in another territory - but the arena exists for a reason - without it they could not raise a force here.

	The most important - and most difficult target - are the various slave camps that are dotted around the arena. It will take a significant force of soldiers to spy these camps out, and they will be defended. You can't keep highly trained gladiatorial slaves in chains without taking some very effective precautions to ensure they don't turn on you. Any successful raid on Beoraidh will result in the rescue of potentially thousands of slaves, but if the Empire commits enough ships and soldiers then they can rescue hundreds of skilled gladiators and pit-fighters, and thousands of raw recruits held in the scores of camps dotted around the arena.

	Fortunately the port is not nearly as well protected as the Grendel capital, but it is still a difficult target, especially with those half finished defences. The defences themselves represent the first obvious target. They are not complete yet, and won't be for another season. That means there is a single narrow window of opportunity to attack the port before it becomes impregnable against a raid of this kind. Of course such a fortification would not only protect Boerath, it will help the Grendel to defend the entirety of territory of ~~Maraeve~~ and that means they can afford to release more armies to go north to attack the Empire in Spiral - or wherever the Grendel armada might choose to transport them. The completion of the fortification is not likely to signal an immediate attack, but it will hasten the day the next attack comes.

	~~Maraeve~~ is the name of the territory to the south of [[Spiral]]. The Empire has some knowledge of the land gained from their efforts to [[How_sweet_is_the_sea#Mapping_the_Bay\|map the bay]] as well as diplomatic exchanges with the [[Axos\|Axou]]. What information they do have is patchy and limited in scope, but no more so than their recognizance of Dubhtraig. At first glance there isn't anything of interest or value in ~~Maraeve~~, but fortune smiled on the Empire during the recent raid. A pair of slaves recovered from the docks were both badly maimed, with the kind of wounds that you can only get from fighting. One had only one hand and the other will walk with a limp for the rest of her days. There was nothing noteworthy in that particularly, but the story of how they came by their wounds was fascinating.

	Apparently the pair were once gladiators fighting in the coliseum at Beoraidh in ~~Maraeve~~. The port is poor, the whole settlement is slowly sliding into the sea, so there is little wealth to be had here. Nothing on the face of it that would make the port a good target for a raid, except for this great arena. Both [[orc\|orcs]] provide credible eye witness statements that the coliseum is the centre for slave trading for the entire territory, with literally hundreds of slaves bought and sold there every week. By all accounts it is probably a rival for Dubhtraig or [[This_might_be_your_battle#Vorlach\|Vorlach]] in that regard, at least in terms of the number of slaves held there, but it has none of the protections the port possesses.

	The majority of the slaves sold in the ampitheatre are poor souls destined for the mithril mines of ''Fundindelf'' - but the structure is much more than just a crude slave market. Once a month, the arena is filled by thousands of Grendel who come to watch regular displays of gladiatorial fighting between the trained slaves kept there. Furthermore the Salt Lords apparently often raise armies here, using the hundreds and hundreds of fighting slaves kept at the arena to drill and train fresh troops. In addition to these skilled fighters there are hundreds more being trained at any given time, all hand-picked for their physical prowess, aggressive personality, and confidence in battle.
