	As it stands the garrison would certainly protect Thornfen from the Empire if they ever tried to claim it, or to move armies through it without the permission of the Grand Ilarchs. The [[Civil Service\|civil service]] advise that as well as the obvious benefits, the declaration requested by Ilarch Skopos will give Axou troops to move around Sarangrave, which could in theory present problems if relations with Axos were to sour. Ultimately the key issue is one of control. With the garrison under the control of the Axou it will ultimately be down to them what it does.

	That might not be a problem for a while as the new Axou garrison at Thornfen is taking a while ~~toe~~ establish itself. With vallorn and Druj alike in the territory this season, there has been no movement toward establishing the new. Ilarch Skopos informs Ambassador Thanmir that there is a recruitment drive taking place in Axos at the moment but that response has been slow. The Grand Ilarch of Ipotavo is frustrated by this state of affairs - it's not as if the Axou were unaware of this potential problem - and has demanded Ilarch Skopos find a solution.

	The civil service estimate that it will take a minimum of two and a half years for the Axou garrison at the Tower of the Skink to reach its full strength, assuming there are no additional setbacks. Any season where there is fighting in Sarangrave will prevent the Axou from resupplying and could even see losses if the garrison is drawn into the fight; opposing forces prevent natural resupply even if the garrison is not directly involved.

	[[Gossamer_threads\|Last season]] saw diplomatic approaches from the Iron Confederacy that included a request to [[Gossamer_threads#Rings_and_Wains\|permit armies]] of the Iron Confederacy involved in their [[Gossamer_threads#The_Western_Hills\|invasion]] of [[Reinos]] to resupply via western [[Segura]]. This request was ultimately refused. They also sought to purchase resources to protect the northernmost Suranni territory of [[Bay_of_Catazar#Kalino_(or_“Arbonne”)\|Arbonne]], which the Empire knows as Kalino, from an ongoing campaign of baleful [[curse\|curses]]. In this, the Ambassador was more able to provide the requested assistance.

Now that the Suranni have taken retribution against the Wreckers, and dealt with the Hand of Dumon hiding among them, they seem more inclined to discuss such matters. The intent is to send a few diplomats to Anvil during the Autumn Equinox, to see if such a treaty can be prepared, and the points raised by the Ambassador so far have proved very useful. Baroness Katerine asks that this discussion continue between them, with the Ambassador continuing to help refine the matters that will be under discussion.

	The axou could use either mithril or weirwood to increase the speed with which the garrison would establish itself, but the Grand Ilarchs' Council seems loath to contribute their own comparatively limited wains to do so. Ilarch Skopos does not come straight out and ''ask'' Ambassador Thanmir to see if the Empire can be convinced to provide such support, but the ''implication'' is very clear. If the Empire wants the garrison to be ready for battle on a meaningful time-scale they will need to provide the wains to the Axou.

	While the Halls of Maykop are considering the matter of Druj armies supported by ghoulish horrors, Ilarch Skopos has also asked them for any guidance they can offer the [[High Exorcist]] '''Lord Belial de Courtenay Wyldrose''' in their work to combat one of the ''lemuré''. Ambassador Hafnir mentioned former Ambassador '''Tarquinius Ankarien''', and Ilarch Skopos has had some of his staff review the archives and found some information that his own predecessor ''Maxatios'' provided in the past. The libraries of Maykop are extensive, especially when it relates to ghosts and similar entities. Ilarch Skopos is confident that information exists; the challenge will be finding something specifically useful to the High Exorcist in their current endeavour.

	After discussion with ''Grand Ilarch Keloparia'' of Maykop, an agreement has been reached (~~ableit~~ a little grudgingly). It is the request to study with masters of ''necromantia'' that has apparently swung Keloparia's opinion in favour of the proposal. The High Exorcist of the Empire wanting aid from the magicians of Maykop, rather than the ''Convocation of Faith'' apparently bodes well. Ilarch Skopos cannot quite conceal the fact that the popularity of "Theodosia Azesos' experiment" seems to have stalled a little, to the amusement of some of her political opponents.

	Regardless, the Halls will make some members of the research staff and one of the ''necromantia'' librarians available to host an Imperial scholar should they wish to visit after the Summer Solstice to investigate ''necromantia'' relating to the lemuré. Unfortunately, due to the faculty schedules, the Empire would need to take this offer up during the Summer Solstice - after that it would need to be rearranged and there is no guarantee that anyone would be available to assist such a scholarly endeavour. Ilarch Skopos notes that the faculty at Maykop will be expecting a member of the [[Historical_research#The_Department_of_Historical_Research\|Department of Historical Research]]; the invitation sadly cannot be extended to other scholars (explicitly this means the [[Lepidean Librarian]] cannot commission this research).
