Since the territory has been reclaimed, many are returning to their homes - although a number have chosen to stay permanently in Hahnmark. Concerns that the [[Thule]] might come further west and invade Hahnmark proved groundless, but there were repeated calls for the Hall at [[#Kalpaheim\|Kalpaheim]] and the vigilant [[#Northspires\|Stormspires]] to be reinforced and further fortified. Successive [[Senate\|Senates]] failed to agree to the amount of white granite needed, and the projects were largely abandoned.

In the Winter of 386YE, however, the Imperial Senate determined to [[386YE_Winter_Solstice_Senate_sessions#Levy_Tolls_on_Blood_Red_Roads\|levy tolls]] on traffic using the road, meaning they no longer increase the income of individual citizens but provide a significant boost to the Imperial Treasury, in part to pay for the war against the [[vallorn]].

	In southern [[#Northspires\|Northspires]] is found a vast labyrinthine chamber in the ice, in which many runes are carved. They are thought to be very old, and some scholars argue that the origin of runes in Wintermark lies here, rather than in the caves beneath [[Skarsind#Gildenheim\|Gildenheim]]. The chamber is carefully guarded. It is a matter of debate as to whether the runes bear any message -- some claim the original laws of Wintermark, and thus the Empire -- were taken from the inscriptions in this chamber. More recently they have been connected with the paragon [[Isenbrad]], especially by the [[runesmith\|runesmiths]] who dwell on the mountain above the caves.

			Kronemark was once the location of the Tower of the Eagle, an old tumbledown tower atop a hill that was once a beacon and marked the location of a powerful regio aligned with the [[Realm#Day\|Day realm]]. It was claimed by the Silence Arc, ''scions'' of [[Cold Sun]], who were able to construct a gate of shining [[mithril]] and aquamarine crystal, carved with runes and sigils inlaid with [[ilium]]. It was broken during the [[Last_rays_of_the_sun#Tower_of_the_Eagle\|last stand]] of the Silence Arc, and now all that remains are two broken pillars of warped and blasted crystal, twenty feet apart. The illumination that burns between the two columns is steady, unblinking, and irresistible. There's no way to approach the regio. Living beings who get too close, within a quarter mile or so of the blasted hill, burn. Those who test the edges begin to die, and only immediate aid helps them avoid being burnt to ashes.
