''The 7th year since the Scarlet Empress’s disappearance...''

'''Realm'''

Peleps Deled moves his force of loyal Immacualtes, Dragon-blooded, and mortals into the city of Greyfalls. He quickly removes the Realm puppet government and establishes the city as a theocracy-based on the Immaculate Philosophy. He assures members of the Hundred Kingdoms and Nexus that he has no intention of ruling them. His desire is to spread the philosophy and reduce the infection of the Anathema.

The Realm sends emissaries to the Scavenger Lands and to the Greyfalls asking for assistance in returning Deled’s head to them. They also attempt to undermine Deled amongst the cities of the East. Their spies in Lookshy become more active.

'''East'''

Little word has come out of the Republic of Chaya. Few Chayan cities remain free, and refugees claim it is only a matter of time before the horde razes the capital. The horde is believed to be led by and made up partly of beasts.

In a series of political move, the growing problems in the East and the Realm, and key members sympathizing with the imperialist faction of Lookshy, the Imperialists gain control of the General Staff. The Seventh Legion begins preparing for war on its neighbors. An offer is sent to all kingdoms and cities not under Lookshy’s control, allow Lookshy to lead and administer their lands as overlord or face the sword. Some accept, many refuse.

Thorns once again goes silent.
