Ongoing Events
Delayed diplomacy
Due to the severe weather in Casinea during the Winter Solstice, several diplomatic delegations (including those from the Druj, Thule, Axou, Faraden, Iron Confederacy, and even the Freeborn hakima) were unable to attend. The dreadful wind caused these delegations to break their journey and wait for another appropriate time to turn up. It is believed that these delegations will attend during the Spring Equinox. You can find some details of some of these delegations here, here, and here.
Hearth Tithe
During the Autumn Equinox 379YE, both the Wintermark and Marcher assemblies threw their support behind the reintroduction of the Hearth Tithe. The Wintermark assembly named Ealstan of Stormspire to encourage the reintroduction of the practice, while the Marcher Assembly named James Appleseeder of Upwold. As a consequence, for the next year. every farm in the Marches and Wintermark will set aside a plot of land to grow medicinal herbs to help the war against the Jotun. Every farm produces a little less money, but provides the owner with useful herbs. You can learn more about the effects of the Hearth Tithe here.
Crows and Colleges
Following the peace treaty agreed with the Thule, several opportunities rose for the Imperial Senate to commission special projects in Varushka. As the Spring Equinox draws near, work is completed on the program of public works designed to rebuild the roads of Karsk. With the completion of this great work, all mines and forests in the territory of Karsk have received a boost to their productivity. Perhaps just as importantly, the Varushkan nation is now able to fully support a third Imperial army. With that in mind, the long process of mustering the new Iron Helm army has begun in Karsk and if it continues at the current rate will likely be completed in time for Winter.
Progress on the Icy Crag of the Eternal Sun in Volchitrava appears to have stalled, however. While a Summer regio has been raised with the patronage of Cathan Canae, the actual construction of the college is no farther forward. Likewise, while construction has begun in Mieriada on the Hearth of the Tempest, it is not clear how much progress has been made - it is not believed to be operating as a college of spring magic at this time.
Frozen Mithril
In response to an opportunity to create a new mithril mine in Sermersuaq, the Imperial Senate has ordered work to begin as soon as possible. The new bourse resource should be completed in time for the Autumn Equinox.
