			It is not only the armies of the Druj that are working against the Imperial advance. Individual hets are gathering their allies to them, some - admittedly - no doubt in an attempt to survive the Empire's gaze, but others to strike back and inflict pain and suffering on Imperials. One such het, ''Huk'nar Skintwister'', is gathering a band of Druj [[Arkad#Chikad\|chikad]] to them, to strike at one of the temporary outposts established by the [[Black Thorns]]. If the het survives until the end of the summit, then they will have gathered enough Druj to them that the outpost will be overrun, inflicting two hundred casualties to the army before the season's campaign begins. Once this goal is completed, the band will disperse back into the wilds of the Salt Flats. It is the responsibility of '''Cadwell Waystone''', [[Black Thorns\|General of the Black Thorns]], to ensure that Huk'nar Skintwister is killed.

The strongest can endure the terror, but those less able to resist slowly lose their senses, to the point where they can no longer tell friend from foe.

	The ghulai, the Druj magicians, have been engaged in a magic of their own. Desperate to prevent the Empire from advancing the ghulai of the Vileshrikes have prepared a trap for the Empire. They hope to force open the regio across Beladrarsh, and both Upper and Lower ~~Saarnat~~, to permit Ungholt, the Delirium King, to stalk the land. This little known eternal's fiendish touch brings terror and madness, a curse that spreads through the land, turning civilised people into savage monsters. A monstrous act by the Druj in scorching the earth, a plan to turn their own subjects into a bulwark of dread that will devastate the Empire's armies as they try to attack the region. If they succeed,these regions will become terror-stricken.		The ghulai, the Druj magicians, have been engaged in a magic of their own.

	There is a chance to stop them. The ghulai's curse relies on a set of hastily erected ''shackles'', erected inside the shroud at Dripping Tor.

Glimpsed from afar, they are ancient, decrepit things, dank and miserable as many of the Druj's own buildings are. The fabrics at their tops add a singular splash of colour, bright and vivid as if warning of danger. Each pillar is bound up with magic, built from aged weirwood planks and driven through with mithril nails.		There is a chance to stop them.

Beladrash in particular is home to half a dozen subject septs who are forced to toil for the Druj. Thousands of orcs will be affected, some of whom are Druj in name only. Worse, the ghulai are prepared to take this terrible step because they intend to forge a weapon from the broken minds of their own people. Driven furious with fear, the inhabitants will attack any army that tries to seize the regions or move through them.
