This motion is currently undergoing scrutiny.
To accept the offer of the Great Forest Orcs to construct a fortification in the Lower Tarn Valley.

Proposed by Redoubt, Seconded by Segura.

Overview

  • This motion accepts the offer of the Great Forest Orcs to undertake the creation of a new fortification, in the Lower Tarn Valley in Therunin.
  • This is the result of an offer by the orcs of the Great Forest.
  • Passed in principle

Date

  • Autumn 381YE

Cost

  • As the result of an opportunity, non-standard costs apply.
  • 80 wains of weirwood
  • 20 thrones
  • Time: One Year
  • The fortification does not count against the Empire's limited number of commissions
  • Upkeep: There is no upkeep while the Great Forest orcs command the garrison. If this were to change the standard upkeep cost of 10 Thrones would apply.

Progress

  • None

Campaign Outcome

  • This will build a new rank one fortification in the Lower Tarn Valley, called The Holt of the Oak.
  • Constructed by the orcs of the Great Forest, the fortification uses weirwood rather than white granite and does not count against the Senate's number of commissions.
  • The Great Forest orcs provide the garrison, removing the need for the Empire to provide upkeep for the fortification. They will control the fortification.
  • While the treaty with the Great Forest orcs remains in effect, the fortification would be identical to any regular Imperial fortification in practical terms. Any Imperial military unit could still choose to support it in the same way as any other fortification built by an allied force in the Empire, but it would be occupied and defended by the Great Forest Orcs.

Constitution

  • If the treaty were broken and the Great Forest orcs were motivated to try and seize the Lower Tarn Valley then the fortification would take no part in the initial fighting. If this were to happen, and the orcs to consolidate their control of the region, then the fortification could provide full support to an efforts they made to conquer the territory or resist Imperial forces.
