	The [[Not_to_conquer#Karass\|Karass]] and the [[Not_to_conquer#Rahvin\|Rahvin]] do not exactly see eye-to-eye. The Rahvin hate the Karass every bit as much as the Druj; indeed, they consider their enemies to be inseparable from the Druj. It's hard to imagine the contempt isn't mutual, but the Rahvin have repeated over and over to the Empire that the Karass are loyal servants of the rulers of the Mallum and that they are simply waiting for the right moment to betray the Empire and the Barrens to the Druj.

	According to the yeofolk who support the [[Merchant of the Fangs]], the Rahvin are intrigued by the words of '''Emperor Vesna''' promising that the end of the Druj is close. If it is true, then it is news worth celebrating. But the Druj won't really be gone until every trace of them is wiped from this world. "We will be a black wind that sweeps the Druj into the Abyss" is a common refrain among members of the sept. They don't just want to see the Druj defeated; they want to see every trace of them uprooted from this world. It is good news indeed that the Empire has the Druj armies on the defensive... but what about the Druj traitors here in the Barrens? What about the Karass?

	The Rahvin army is still being raised in [[The_Barrens#Bitter_Strand\|Bitter Strand]], and while it is not yet ready to take the field, some of the recruits are itching for a fight. As a result, there is an [[opportunity]] to assault a small sept, like the Karass, and overpower them. ''General Utmar'' understands enough about Imperial law to know that leading his warriors against a foe enjoying the protection of [[Imperial law]] will not end well for his people. But if the Senate - or Empress Vesna - were to declare war on the Karass, then the Rahvin would seize the moment, just as the Karass did to the Vendarri, and wipe them out. Those that didn't flee back to their Druj masters in the Mallum would be slaughtered.

	It's an appealing thought on the face of it.

They never recovered their martial strength and look what has become of them now! Still, as Three Hands pointed out, look what happened to those who rebelled.

	Technically, Emperor Vesna is not the Emperor of the Sand Fishers. They're foreigners in a legal sense - though you'd be hard pressed to know it, based on how Loyal many of them seem to be to [[Holberg]] at least. However, the Throne's words reach every part of the Empire and that includes [[Merchant_Prince_of_Misericorde_Market\|~~the~~ Misericorde Market]]. The Sand Fishers have little they can contribute to support the fighting against the Druj - they have almost no skilled warriors.

	Three Hands ''still'' thinks it will all end in disaster, but he quotes the guidance with the fervour of the convert. "It is better, by far, to try and fail, than fail to try." So he, and other members of his sept, are now resolved to try.

	The plan is not without cost; if the raid goes ahead, then those who maintain the smugglers cove in the [[Salt Flats of Sanath]] will have to abandon any hope of remaining hidden. If all goes to plan, the [[The Brass Coast\|Freeborn]] can take the Druj by surprise, but as soon as the dust settles, the Druj will be on them like rats on a pie. The corsairs will evacuate everyone from the cove with them when they go, get them out before the Druj inevitably discover it, and tear it down. Because the plan guarantees the destruction of Imperial property, it will need the [[Imperial Spymaster]] to [[senate announcement\|announce]] that the Smuggler's Cove is being [[Smugglers_cove#Decommissioning_a_Smugglers_Cove\|decommissioned]]. There will be no charge if that happens - the Druj will take care of destroying the structure - after the Freeborn take what they can from territory.

	The [[Raise Third Navarr Army\|third army]] of Navarr has almost finished ~~raising~~ in Hercynia; the general will be first ~~elected next season~~ at the ~~Summer Solstice~~ 388YE. The nation's appetite for the final battle against the vallorn continues, but it is not inexhaustible. If a new Navarr army does not begin raising by the end of the ~~Summer Solstice~~ 389YE, then the nation's enthusiasm will wane, and the [[Army#Maximum_numbers_of_Imperial_Forces\|Navarr supply]] will drop by one. Some of the Navarr who managed to escape from the destruction of [[Thornsinger#Thornsong House\|Thornsong House]] - many only thanks to the [[Crimson_and_green#Conjunction\|intervention of Imperial heroes]] - want to make sure that doesn't happen. They want to help take the fight to the Druj; earnestly believing that once the Druj are defeated, the Empire will turn its attention to the vallorn next.

	Word of the address has spread to the [[Great Forest Orcs]], and they too are eager to see the end of the Druj. A year and a half ago, the orcs of the Great Forest [[The_first_shot#Therunin\|offered to support]] the raising of an army in Therunin in recognition of the [[Poetry_and_prose#Great_Forest_Orcs\|solemn and binding oath]] made by the Navarr to protect the sept as if they were family. That oath, that powerful ''geas'', still stands and the Great Forest Orcs have once again pledged their support for an army centred on the apothecaries and herbalists who escaped Thornsong House.

	Inspired by the recent efforts to map the eastern sea, ''Aracely i Bejarano i Erigo'' has spotted an opportunity to make use of the [[smugglers cove]] to undermine the Druj rule in Sanath. ''Aracely'', corsair and veteran of the raids on both [[Mosaic\|Chalonsio]] and [[Burning\|Rachensgrab]], has her eyes on [[Salt_Flats_of_Sanath#Leen\|Leen]]. Leen, specifically [[Salt_Flats_of_Sanath#Leen_Rarckan\|Leen Rarckan]], is home to thousands of slaves toiling under the malign cruelty of the [[Druj]]. Aracely is looking to gather support among the various Corsair families to try and pull off a daring raid to free as many of them as possible.

	The plan is not without cost; if the raid goes ahead, then those who maintain the smugglers cove in the [[Salt Flats of Sanath]] will have to abandon any hope of remaining hidden. If all goes to plan, the [[The Brass Coast\|Freeborn]] can take the Druj by surprise, but as soon as the dust settles, the Druj will be on them like rats on a pie. The corsairs will evacuate everyone from the cove with them when they go, get them out before the Druj inevitably discover it, and tear it down. Because the plan guarantees the destruction of Imperial property, it will need the [[Imperial Spymaster]] to [[senate announcement\|announce]] that the Smuggler's Cove is being [[Smugglers_cove#Decommissioning_a_Smugglers_Cove\|decommissioned]]. There will be no charge if that happens - the Druj will take care of destroying the structure - after the Freeborn take what they can from territory.

	If the attack is sanctioned, then fleets from [[the Brass Coast]] will be able to take part in the '''Raid Leen - Rescue Slaves''' [[voyage]] following the Spring Equinox 388YE. A standard fleet taking this [[Fleet#Raiding\|raiding]] voyage will receive six random [[herb\|herbs]] and four [[Military unit#Random Resources\|random resources]]. A fleet that is [[enchantment\|enchanted]] or [[fleet#Upgrades\|upgraded]] receives more, and may also acquire some '''Druj Potions''' as part of their loot, usually representing a captured [[potion]] or two useful to warriors.
