	This is no reprise of the last invasion, when the Jotun sought to install Mathilda Fisher as steward of Bregasland. There are few yegarra among their ranks, and none march under the banner of the eels-on-the-water. Yanya Uranduln brings the Howling Bears to fight alongside the Fist, although there is no sign of the walrus banner of their habitual friend-and-rival Eisa Winterborn. Their place is taken by the Ice Fishers of Ldansk, that loose gathering of champions from minor clans across Kalsea who fight for the honour of Kierheim, and Tromsa, and other more distant lands.

	A few wonder if the decision not to bring yegarra to Bregasland is intentional. Perhaps King Gudmunder Arasonn, under whose banners the Fist of Ulven fight, wishes to avoid comparison with the recent failed venture into Bregasland? To make it clear that this is about Jotun conquest and not the ambitions of a dead women and her clan. There's no easy way to know, but there is a rumour that for the first time in quite a while the Jarl of Jarls, the leader of the southern Jotun, does not lead the Fist of Ulven himself, entrusting their role in the conquest of Bregasland to his niece Gjeirfund Haggarsdottir.

	The Ice Fishers have been sent to consolidate the Jotun's gains in Gravenmarch. One of their ghodi, ''Faraldi Blutesson'', is a confidante of the [[Adamant\|King Under the Mountain]] and has secured a boon - the ''Burhfæst'' - from the eternal in this matter. In its day the Burhfæst was said to be the strongest fortification anywhere in the world. Now, not so much, fortunately. In [[Imperial_history#Ancient\|ancient times]] [[Bregasland#Graven_Rock\|Graven Rock]] the legendary fortification disappeared from the mortal world, apparently spirited away to the Summer realm. Adamant has agreed to return it, granting Blutesson the use of it for a year and a day. Built in the likeness of [[Sermersuaq#Olgafsdottirshal\|Olgafsdottirshal]], it would see the Jotun in a strong position in Bregasland for a season, let alone a year.

	Uncharacteristically, especially for an army that is usually a barely-contained whirlwind of joyful violence, the Fist of Ulven come with caution as their shield rather than with overwhelming force. There's an edge of uncertainty to their advance. All too often in the past, the Bregas marshes have been wound round with the [[Dripping Echoes of the Fen\|warding echoes]] of [[Night magic]], twisting and turning the paths and sowing confusion in their ranks.

	The arrival of the Jotun in Gravenmarch, and their quick subjugation of the region, comes as a shock to many, but something that many folk mutter was ''"as certain as a puddle is wet"''. Yet the Bregas are quick to respond as beaters spread news of the barbarians and a populace accustomed to recent conflict sharpen bill hooks and fletch ash shafts in preparation. A stubborn determination fills people's minds, considering that all they need to do is slow the orc advance long enough for the Strong Reeds to come to their aid. Folk are certain that the army will come soon; after all, '''Amberlain P. Black''' swore an oath.

	Gravenmarch plays an important role in the Pride of the people of Bregasland - it is where many folk got their start in the Marches. Near '''Rock Foot Wood''' are the remains of an old ~~dolman~~, little more than two rocks standing close together now, though people still call it the Graven Door. This spot is where local Marchers and the egregores meet with those who want to join the nation who have been brought here by the Navarr. The Marcher egregore usually conducts a simple ceremony, it is traditional to sing a rousing song or two, they walk through the door symbolically leaving their old life behind and becoming a Marcher. It's a small thing... and that's why it's so important.		Gravenmarch plays an important role in the Pride of the people of Bregasland - it is where many folk got their start in the Marches.

There is a chance during the battle to find Svynna and barter for the lives of the two youths and their parents. If the ghodi is captured then there is a chance they may agree to let them go as part of a ransom. However, the nature of ''who'' does the negotiating and what is ultimately agreed upon could be a particularly delicate matter.

All that is known is that the ghodi prevented his fellow Jotun from killing them and then claimed them as thralls.		During the attack on Graven, most of those local Navarr who didn't escape were killed, but it seems that four of them have survived. Bronwen Graven Stand, her husband, Logan Graven Stand, and their two children, Niamh and Dradan, both are [[A_horn_resounding#Coming_of_Age\|Summer children]] who only passed their Test of Arms last year. It's not clear if Svynna saved them because of their age, or perhaps because they were Summer children. All that is known is that the ghodi prevented his fellow Jotun from killing them and then claimed them as thralls.

	The four were last seen being taken into Liathaven by Svynna's retinue, presumably destined for a new life as ~~thralla~~ in Liavathan or further West in Hordalant. There is a chance during the battle to find Svynna and barter for the lives of the two youths and their parents. If the ghodi is captured then there is a chance they may agree to let them go as part of a ransom. However, the nature of ''who'' does the negotiating and what is ultimately agreed upon could be a particularly delicate matter.

	It can't be executed, but it could be brought low with a powerful and destructive ritual - Rising Roots that Rend Stone or Inevitable Collapse into Ruin would both destroy it - but only when it is incapacitated. The rituals won't harm the creature while it is still active. Imperial forces will need to incapacitate the monster and prevent the Jotun from healing it before they invoke the power of the ritual to destroy it.

	The Ice Fishers have been sent to consolidate the Jotun's gains in Gravenmarch. One of their ghodi, ''Faraldi Blutesson'', is a confidante of the [[Adamant\|King Under the Mountain]] and has secured a ~~boom~~ - the ''Burhfæst'' - from the eternal in this matter. In it's day the Burhfæst was said to be the strongest fortification anywhere in the world. Now, not so much, fortunately. In [[Imperial_history#Ancient\|ancient times]] [[Bregasland#Graven_Rock\|Graven Rock]] the legendary fortification disappeared from the mortal world, apparently spirited away to the Summer realm. Adamant has agreed to return it, granting Blutesson the use of it for a year and a day. Built in the likeness of [[Sermersuaq#Olgafsdottirshal\|Olgafsdottirshal]], it would see the Jotun in a strong position in Bregasland for a season, let alone a year.
