	Last season the Beoradhi set out several opportunities for the Empire, along with a [[Each_age_a_lens#Diplomatic_Delegation\|diplomatic delegation]] to the Imperial Orcs. These included confirmation that the [[Each_age_a_lens#Investment_of_Salt\|offer to sell land]] for the construction of a [[I_wish_you_would#Shrine of the Virtues\|temple of the Way]] was still available. According to Ambassador Melkior the Unshackled are interested in purchasing the land for 25 Thrones, provided the shrine is in keeping with the Unshackled understanding of the Way. Ambassador Rubhart is happy to accept ''more'' for the land than was being asked, but points out that the style of the temple is entirely in the control of whichever Imperial citizen is actually building it. That said, they also point out that many Beoradhi are still a little new to the idea of dealing with humans as their equals.

	The ideal situation would be for an [[Imperial Orcs\|Imperial Orc]] [[senator]] the [[Legion Engineer]], or an orc citizen from any nation who was [[Bearer of an Imperial Wayleave]], to [[commission]] whichever version of the shrine - the temple or the basilica - they settled on. In this case, traders and merchants keen to curry favour with the Empire would fall over themselves to be seen as supporting the project. Rubhart confidently predicts the labour costs of either project would be halved if an orc commissioned it. The civil service further note that there are several League titles with the ability to commission a [[sinecure]] - if the seat holder were a League orc, this discount would also be available. This approach reinvigorate the opportunities presented in Summer 387YE - they remain available until the end of the Winter Solstice 388YE as long as nothing changes.

	* '''An opportunity exists to establish a trading post in Mareave to increase the benefits of both the Southern Herd and the Great Herd in Skarsind'''
	One of the problems Beoraidh has is that there is a dearth of arable land in arid north-western Mareave. Now that the Children of Wrecks appear to be on the way out, there will be opportunities to fish the waters of the Bay of Catazar again but that comes with its own challenges for a city that traditionally relied more on trade than industry to feed its populace. As a consequence, the discussion at the Winter Solstice of establishing a "salt for beef" exchange between the city-state and the Unshackled has been enthusiastically received.		One of the problems Beoraidh has is that there is a dearth of arable land in arid north-western Mareave. Now that the Children of Wrecks appear to be on the way out, there will be opportunities to fish the waters of the Bay of Catazar again but that comes with its own challenges for a city that traditionally relied more on trade than industry to feed its populace. As a consequence, the discussion at the Winter Solstice of establishing a "salt for beef" exchange between the city-state and the Unshackled has been enthusiastically received.

	In a straightforward arrangement, Rubhart proposes that the Unshackled build a trading post on the border between [[Mareave#Sinfoyard\|Sinfoyard]] and either [[Mareave#Eoradal\|Eoradal]] or [[Mareave#Icarion\|Icarion]]. Beoraidh will do the same on the opposite side of the border. The intention that the Imperial Orcs will be able to buy salt and even some ores from trade passing through the town of ''Aghnayadh'', while the Beoradhi will be able to purchase salt beef, tallow, and other cattle-based products from the [[Shepherd of the Southern Herd]]. This would increase the [[Shepherd_of_the_Southern_Herd#Substantial Income\|already substantial income]] of the Shepherd by 10 Crowns each season. In addition, access to salt in significant quantities would also benefit the [[Shepherd_of_the_Great_Herd#The_Great_Herd\|Great Herd]] in far away [[Skarsind]]; salt travels and keeps much better than raw meat after all. The [[Shepherd of the Great Herd]] would see their rewards from their [[Shepherd_of_the_Great_Herd\|bounteous herd]] increase by 5 crowns each season. Obviously these benefits would be lost if the trade between Beoraidh and the Unshackled were disrupted in some fashion.

	If this mandate is enacted, it will create two related [[venture\|ventures]] that would become available to Imperial Orc reavers following the Spring Equinox. ''Warlord Bikk'' is aware that there are probably not enough reavers to do as much damage as he might like and as such is more than happy to welcome warlords from other nations, provided they have some experience reaving. If the mandate passes he will open his camp as a staging ground to similar groups in other nations. Both ventures will also be available to Varushkan [[Varushka_military_concerns#Wagon_Raiders_and_Sell_Swords\|Wagon-Raiders]], Wintermark [[Wintermark_economic_interests#Maggot\|Maggots]] and Freeborn [[Corsair\|Corsairs]], all of whom Warlock Blikk recognises as experts in pillaging Imperial Enemies.

			One thing that is absolutely clear: this raid will not have the same effect that an [[army]] attacking the sept would have. The explicit threat presented by an army, and the [[Here_to_stay#Violence\|reputation]] that would spread as a result of it, are different to a "''simple''" raid.

	There is some disagreement in the wake of Bikk's proposal about exactly how to proceed. The warlord himself has asked reavers to focus on the Brine Turtle supply lines - the better to ensure that the raid does the maximum damage to the enemy. But the [[Sannite]] reaver ''Pil'' however claims they remember the Brine Turtles from when they lived in Beoraidh, and says they were always self-important and smug about their good relations with the "proper" Grendel. Pil's opinion is that everyone should focus on maximising the loot taken so that the Brine Turtles are encouraged to flee the territory to hide behind their Grendel "friends", so that the Empire ''doesn't'' have to deal with them in the long term		There is some disagreement in the wake of Bikk's proposal about exactly how to proceed.

	Bonesetter ''Guld'' of the [[Ethengraw]] on the other hand argues that, at some point, the Brine Turtles ''will'' be subjects of the Empire; it's probably counter-productive to raid them now. It might be ''satisfying'' or even ''expedient'', but they believe it will store up trouble in the long run. The Brine Turtles are likely to be angry if their supply lines are cut and they'll be furious if their wealth is plundered. The "virtue" of [[Grendel_religion#Retribution\|Retribution]] is an important part of Grendel culture; their [[Grendel religion\|religion]] encourages them ~~toexact~~ vengeance on those who wrong them.
