	The Highborn have been unequivocal on the matter of the vallorn - their assembly has repeatedly called it the greatest spiritual threat the Empire has ever faced. The grey pilgrims were founded to support the Navarr by taking up the burden of walking the trods. They gave up their comfortable lives in Highguard to commit themselves to a task that at the time seemed interminable. Now it seems that the timing was simply apposite - fated even.		The Highborn have been unequivocal on the matter of the vallorn - their assembly has repeatedly called it the greatest spiritual threat the Empire has ever faced. The grey pilgrims were founded to support the Navarr by taking up the burden of walking the trods. They gave up their comfortable lives in Highguard to commit themselves to a task that at the time seemed interminable. Now it seems that the timing was simply apposite - fated even.

	Like the Navarr, the Highborn Assembly could embrace the chance to begin the war against the vallorn. Like the Navarr this choice will have a profound impact on the nation. It is not just that there will be no more need to walk the trods; the start of the war with the vallorn will invite the Highborn to consider other changes too. Is now the time to be building the [[Blood will thicken\|~~grand inspiration~~ of the Way]] in [[Bastion]] when the survival of the very Empire may be at stake? It's difficult to predict what quandaries such a decision will raise, if the Highborn pass this mandate.

	There is predictable cynicism from some quarters that the politics of [[Anvil]] will not favour the Navarr. When the [[Jotun]] threatened the Navarr holdings in [[Liathaven]], it was not the time. The [[territory]] fell to the barbarians, the [[steading\|steadings]] destroyed, the people slaughtered. When the vallorn in [[Brocéliande]] was vulnerable for the first time in a generation, it was not the time and a vital chance to weaken the vallorn was lost. The situation at the moment is difficult, nobody denies it - the Jotun are attacking in the West, the [[Druj]] have just invaded [[Therunin]] and the [[Grendel]] are not yet defeated in the South. There is a widespread belief that the powers that be will look to the [[~~Imperial~~ Military Council]] and they will say... it is not the time. The Navarr will be told that it must make this sacrifice for the good of the Empire, as if they have not been sacrificing everything for the good of the Empire for the best part of four centuries.

	It is not enough to give in to cynicism says ''Maddoc of the Fleeting Star Striding'', who claims that the Military Council could be persuaded to support attempts to join the hearts. If the vallorn in Liathaven exploded forth from its dark heart, it would pose an enormous problem for the Jotun who would be forced to divert armies to try and oppose any Westward expansion. Likewise, if the heart in the [[Sarangrave]] were triggered, it would spell disaster for the Druj - they would have to pull back some or all of their armies to contain it. Triggering the vallorn is guaranteed to radically alter the Empire's military position - but it's not guaranteed to make it ''worse''.

	At the Winter Solstice, '''Aniera of Exiles End''' used the [[Navarr]] [[Assembly#The_National_Assemblies\|Assembly]] to ask the Navarr people for their opinion following [[A_thousand_years_of_longing\|the work published on the vallorn]] and how to destroy it. Further statements followed next season from both the Navarr and [[Highguard]] with an eloquent call to action. ''"The grey pilgrims of Highguard and questing knights of Dawn did not join our cause simply to walk the trods for another thousand years."'' said '''~~Sîan~~ Eternal''', ''"It is time to act with wisdom and forethought but act nonetheless."'' The Highborn '''Doctor Lysimachus''' appeared to concur with that view and reminded Highguard that the vallorn was the greatest spiritual threat to the Empire, a pointed call back to the decision by the Empire to found the [[Grey pilgrim\|grey pilgrims]] for the express purpose of combating the [[vallorn]].

	There is widespread support for these views across the people of Navarr and Highguard, but the matter is not yet settled. There is a growing hope that after centuries, this could be the hour. Yet, there are voices in both lands that urge caution - it is very clear that the Empire ''can'' do this - that is not the same as saying they ''should'' do this.
