	Prognosticators have keenly scoured for [[Sentinel_Gate#Conjunctions\|conjunctions]] for locations which might indicate engagement with these raiders, but are dismayed to find none. It seems that if the Empire wishes to deal with this threat, they will now need to consider other means of doing so. Unless that situation changes, realistically that would mean moving an army to the Marches to engage the Feni. While it is clear that these Feni warbands do not constitute a [[Army\|campaign army]] and are raiding not trying to conquer the area, they could be decisively engaged and defeated by one or more Imperial armies.

	The scouts who have assessed their camps calculate their fighting strength as equivalent to around a thousand Imperial ~~soldeirs~~ at most. If the [[Military Council]] so decided, these forces could be combated by any Imperial Army taking an offensive order in the Mournwold. A decisive engagement that inflicted at least 400 casualties would kill enough Feni to neutralise these warbands entirely. Of course the army would also suffer casualties as appropriate - and be unable to take advantage of natural resupply.

	As it currently stands, the Empire has no means of directly communicating with these Feni. No-one can get close enough to them without the Feni either retreating or attacking ferociously, and any captives taken have proven violently uncooperative. Moreover, as anyone trading with the Feni would be guilty of treason, anyone who might be able to broker a meeting with them is clearly unwilling to come forward.

	Meanwhile, the large Feni warband sighted traveling across [[Upwold]] and northern [[Mournwold]] is continuing to raid settlements as they pass. Apparently the attempts to deal with them at the Spring Equinox were not enough. While they are focused primarily in the [[Mournwold#Chalkdowns\|Chalkdowns]], they are venturing across the entire [[territory]]; the only [[~~territoy~~#Regions\|region]] that does not report much in the way of Feni raiding is [[~~Mournwol~~#Alderly\|Alderly]] - which is curious, as it is the only region known for sure to harbour a long-standing enclave of Feni.

	The [[Feni]], the human barbarians the dwell in the western territories of the Empire, have never been much viewed as a significant threat on the scale of the neighbouring barbarian nations.
