    Rubies in the snow

    The Narwhal's Spear is already in Sermersuaq. Following the Autumn Equinox, they are joined by five other Imperial armies. The Fire of the South have travelled the longest distance, all the way from the Mallum, from Sarangrave. The Burning Falcon has come up from Mournwold, making the bulk of the journey through Kallavesa alongside the Valiant Pegasus and the Autumn Hammers who had been billeted in Mitwold, and the Green Shield from Upwold. Together the armies gather in Stark, a sea of tents spreading out around the Fortress of Kalant.

    Red skies

    The sun drags itself from its bed, spilling crimson across the eastern skies. It rises over Sarvos, where the Red Wind Corsairs have left the safety of the shores and now ride the waves. The expertise of the corsairs of the Brass Coast has transformed the army into a naval force of swift, deadly Freeborn vessels. Many of the soldiers are scions of the corsair families of Madruga and Feroz, eager to take their vengeance on the Children of Wrecks who stole their island homes. They are not alone.

    Mushroom, mushroom, mushroom

    In 384YE, Llofir demanded amity in response to a request for plenipotentiary. At that time it explicitly stated that it would use that amity to take revenge for the destruction of its garden at Tamarbode. The request was denied and there was little further contact, but the most recent summit saw another attempt to call the eternal for a plenipotentiary. This time Llofir responded by demanding the Empire first perform the dangerous ritual Hallow of the Green World as a show of trust.

    Crimson and green

    Roused by the fell magics of the Druj, the Tharunind vallorn is awake, furiously extending questing green tendrils across the territory. Before the Autumn Equinox, its terrible energies were expended in Peakedge Song against the Wolves of War and the Golden Sun. Nearly two thousand Imperial soldiers paid the ultimate price to keep it at bay. After the Equinox, however, both armies withdrew, battered and bruised, the Sun to Astolat and the Wolves to Bastion. It seemed that nothing could prevent the irresistible tide of wood and flesh drowning the region, leaving a very real and present threat to High Chalcis and the northern regions of Morrow.

    387YE Winter Solstice winds of war

    Over the last three months, Imperial forces have engaged in military campaigns. Sometimes those engagements have been wide-ranging and dramatic, other times they have been more sedate. Where there has been dramatic action, or where there are opportunities, we've given a Wind of War its own page; other military actions are discussed here.

    Opening ceremonies

    Barely a week after the Autumn Equinox, a gang of koboldi pass through the Hall of Worlds and emerge at Anvil. They carry large numbers of surveying tools and spend a cheerful afternoon exploring, taking measurements, and avoiding direct questions. Over the next month, they set to work pinning out a sizable area of ground; more and more koboldi arrive and bring with them building materials and construction tools of all kinds. Working at remarkable speed, over the next fortnight, they begin to raise a sizable structure on the edge of Anvil. Several wagonloads of white granite and weirwood are delivered to the site from Casinean warehouses, as the koboldi overseer Molibolt redeems a stack of very old wains some dating back as far as the reign of Empress Mariika. More and more koboldi arrive, swelling their numbers until some local residents are concerned an actual invasion from the Summer realm may be underway.

    We are the storm

    Emperor Vesna has used their power to address the Empire, sending a message to all Imperial citizens. As with other uses of this power, the civil service has ensured the message is heard by citizens across the Empire and beyond.

    387YE Winter Solstice winds of fortune

    Over the past three months, events have taken place which are of significance to the Empire and may require a response from her champions. These are the winds of fortune, counterparts to the winds of war that detail the Empire's military campaigns. They lay out situations, and usually include things that characters can do to take advantage of opportunities or to resolve problems. In almost every case, they start with a piece of flavour text. This fiction helps introduce the wind of fortune, or draws out a particular theme or element. Often, it represents a viewpoint that one or more NPCs might have in-character. In all cases, these pieces are intended to help create an atmosphere and provide a little entertainment. Where they contain opinions, those are the opinions of the fictional people depicted - and where they contain information or rumours, the assumption is that the reader will create their own context for that information or gossip if they want to use it in character.
