	Prior to the Spring equinox, [[Grendel]] pirates were preying on [[fleet\|trading vessels]] operating out of the [[Bay of Catazar]]. After the Equinox, however, their depredations were greatly reduced. Some magical force appears to be working through [[Autumn_magic\|serendipity and coincidence]] to confound the Grendel vessels. In some cases, sailors report more overtly supernatural phenomenon helping them to avoid the Grendel. As the pirates draw near, time itself seems to slow around Imperial ships allowing them to move more swiftly, to manage their ships more effectively, or simply to speed more quickly through the water leaving the frustrated pirates in their wake.

	As the Summer Solstice draws near, ship captains report that the magic is clearly weakening - there are many more close calls - and are worried that by the end of the Solstice it will have ~~disiapated~~ entirely. If the shipping fleet is left defenceless, this will mean that the Grendel will be once again [[How_sweet_is_the_sea#Bloodthirsty_Pirates\|free to raid Imperial trading vessels]].

	After the structure is complete and ceded, Adamant will allow the [[~~Imperial~~ Conclave]] to appoint someone to oversee it, using the [[declaration]] of [[candidacy]] (as such this would be an Imperial title). This ''Master of the Koboldi'' will be Adamant's representative to the Empire, and vice versa. In addition to the patronage of the eternal, the Master of the Koboldi will be able to announce a single commission each season that uses at least 30 wains of white granite as part of its costs. This commission will not count against the limited number of commissions the Empire can begin each season. Adamant is strenuous in his assertion that he will only provide this assistance if the ''Master of the Koboldi'' is free to build a [[folly]], [[fortification]], [[ministry]], [[great work]], [[sinecure]], [[runeforge]], or [[college of magic]] as they see fit.

	During the Spring Equinox, the ''Voice of the Quiet Forest'' coven performed [[the Dance of Navarr and Thorn]] over the recently liberated territory of [[Spiral]]. Despite the misgivings of some onlookers, the ritual appears to have been performed without a hitch. [[Trods]] curl and weave across the benighted, ~~accursèd~~ territory once more. Old maps from before the fall of Spiral are consulted, and it is very clear that the new trods form entirely different paths than they did thirty years ago. Some of the trods pass dangerously close to the Black Plateau, but none of them cross it. Other than that, the trod network in Spiral appears entirely normal. Another territory bound to the great green web that criss-crosses the Empire.

He is aware that there may be some complaints from the magistrates, and accusations of treason, if the Conclave accepts these gifts, so he suggests that the Conclave first use the Declaration of Concord to declare that these are actually not gifts from Agramant, or not treason to accept, or something similar.

	Following the [Right_now#Ramming_the_Colossus\|[attempt to destroy]] it over Winter, the [[Lorenzo's_Legacy#The_Colossus_of_Sarvos\|Colossus of Sarvos]] has again suffered a peculiar mishap - or a dramatic improvement depending on who you ask. During the Spring Equinox, the appearance of the statue began to shift and change, as if the white granite were wet clay shaped by unseen hands. Over the course of a week, the appearance of the statue shifted. No longer does it depict the First Butcher. Now it is in the shape of a considerably more recognisable figure - [[Empress Giselle]]. To the amusement of many, the colossus that surmounts the entrance to the city quayside now stands with an outstretched fan in one hand, and an amused smile playing across her distinctive features.

	Many citizens of Sarvos have been open in their appreciation of the change - even the worst critics of Empress Giselle cannot fail to acknowledge that she was a protector and guardian of the city she loved. With her body now interred in a tomb many have described as "''gaudy''" and "''not really a monument to the Empress at all''" in far away [[Temeschwar]], it seems only fitting that the Colossus now bears her image.
