	Almost immediately after crossing into Segura, the Lasambrian orcs send out a small delegation under a flag of truce (just to be on the safe side), and waste no time declaring their intention to ask for support from the Empire. As the delegation makes ~~it's~~ tired away towards Anvil, the remaining raiders set up a makeshift camp twenty miles south-east of the partially rebuilt town of [[Segura#Anduz\|Anduz]]. They throw out defensive pickets, and send out a few scouts ... and that is where the problems really start.

Estimates suggest they have enough supplies to see them through until the end of the Autumn Equinox, and then for perhaps one more week.

There are nearly four million Syrian refugees in refugee camps in Turkey, ~~Lebannon~~, Iraq, and Jordan and now that some of them have tried to reach Europe, our media has woken up and filled our televisions with images of their plight.

	In fact genuine comparisons between the Lasambrians and the Syrians and Afghans end with the fact that both have fled their homeland. The Lasambrians in Segura are the same Lasambrians who conquered the territory in 363. They are not helpless - they are well-armed and dangerous and pose a clear threat to the Empire. Rather than compare them with the current crisis we'd prefer our players to appreciate a more fundamental truism - "war is hell". The displacement of human beings is actually one of the ''less'' awful parts of war - the reason people flee a war-zone is because it is better than the alternatives they face if they stay.
