	Of course that is still a significant number of people! There have been steadily increasing numbers of Faraden traders travelling the Empire in recent years. Although the Faraden claim to follow the Way they knowledge of the true virtues is irredeemably flawed. There are also Asavean and Jarmish merchants in every port on the Bay of Catazar, as well as occasional visitors from the Iron Confederacy, Axos, and the Commonwealth. These nations are hopelessly mired in false beliefs, their people are ripe for conversion to the true faith, and the grey pilgrims are looking forward to engaging with them.

	For a long time there have been some concerns about the impact of foreign beliefs on the Empire, with worries about the Asavean temples, the trading halls built by the Faraden and so on. The focus has very much been on preventing these false beliefs leading people astray. The grey pilgrimage will give the Empire an opportunity to fight back - proactively engaging with visitors from foreign lands and attempting to convert them to the truth faith. This will bear fruit, but the civil service warn that in doing so, it may exacerbate tensions between the Empire and the nations affected, some of whom will oppose this active attempt to ~~proselytize~~ their people to give up their false beliefs.

	The great Highborn pilgrimage has now begun, with growing numbers of grey pilgrims seen walking the trods that criss-cross the Empire. The simple act of walking the trods will help the [[Navarr]] in their great quest to defeat the [[vallorn]], though their numbers are still small compared to the number of stridings walking the Empire, this is the biggest increase in travellers in anyone's lifetime. The vates predict the effects of this action will take time to build, but if enough Highborn take up the ~~pilgramage~~ then the impacts could be dramatic.

	However, the Highborn are not content to simply walk the trods and the idea has quickly taken hold that the pilgrimage can serve another purpose. The goal is a second great flowering of [[the Way]], to bring more people to the true faith. At the Winter Solstice, the Highborn National Assembly endorsed a number of important mandates that will define the nature of the pilgrimage for years to come.

	As mentioned, there is one notable exception to the limits of the Imperial trods. The Navarr took advantage of the peace deal with the Thule to negotiate an extension of the trods into the territory of ~~Skuld~~ in the Thule lands of [[Otkodov]]. That means it would be possible for the grey pilgrims to cross the border and enter the land of the Dragons as part of their pilgrimage. While there they could attempt to bring the Thule people to the Way.		As mentioned, there is one notable exception to the limits of the Imperial trods.

	Not all the pilgrims are currently fully convinced of the wisdom of such a move. There are some among the Highborn who retain mixed feelings regarding the inclusion of orcs within the Empire and the Way. They may be the minority and certainly few people are keen to only denounce the Imperial Orcs in light of their recent efforts on behalf of the Empire. But it is much easier to denounce the Thule orcs who appear to venerate their undying dragon rulers as something akin to gods. Cowed and fearful of their sorcerous masters, some people have difficulty seeing what possible benefits could come from bringing the Way to such people.

We the Highborn Assembly acknowledge that no citizen follows the Way perfectly. We all have room to grow, and faults to address. We send Lilith of the Chantry with 25 liao to urge the Grey Pilgrims to act as guides for all the human nations of this great Empire. As they walk the trods in the years to come, let there be no dark corner into which they cannot shine the light of Virtue.</quote></div>

	Lilith of the Chantry has urged the grey pilgrims to remember that no citizen follows the Way perfectly, that anyone's faith can be corrupted by superstition and false beliefs and that the pilgrims must leave no stone unturned as they question the faith of those they encounter. This mandate is already have a striking impact, causing Imperial humanity to question their beliefs and to search for deeper answers. Lilith's careful wording has ensured that the impacts of this have been felt in every human nation in the Empire which has meant a small decline in attendance at established congregations as people question accepted wisdom and seek out new answers.
