	If the Empire does not find a way to blunt the impact of the other raids however, then every [[business]], [[farm]], [[forest]], [[mine]] and [[herb garden]] in Kallavesa, Bregasland, Upwold, and Tassato will suffer a significant loss of production. The Eastern Guard in Upwold is too far from the Marcher border to protect against the raids as they currently stand, it would need further reinforcements to provide assistance.

	A long shadow has fallen over the west of the Empire. Isolated [[Jotun]] raids have long been a feature of the border regions, but there were rumours that they were growing in intensity at the Spring Equinox and now it is clear that the threat is all too real. Bands of Jotun raiders have attacked farmsteads in [[Bregasland]], [[Mitwold]] and [[Upwold]] before retreating back over the border to the [[Mournwold]]. The ~~citites~~ of [[Mitwold#Meade\|Meade]] and [[Tassato]] remain safe but the lands around them both are plagued by raids, while in the north there are reports of Jotun attacks against halls in western [[Sermersuaq]] and [[Kallavesa]].

	Better yet, the two military units assigned to [[Kahraman#The Gilded Peak\|Fort Braydon]] in [[Kahraman]] - their ranks swelled by a regimented array of crystal warriors commanded by Anwar i Del Toro i ~~Riquezza~~ - are able to intercept a Jotun scout, carrying information back to the Jarls. It is clear from the scout's interrogation that in the coming season the Jotun intend to continue the probing attacks on Mitwold and Kahraman, but to launch major raids into Kallavesa, Bregasland, Upwold, and Tassato.
