'''Realm'''

The Great Houses and the Deliberative agree that the Blessed Isle must be readied for any potential attack. While some believe the focus should be on Anathema defense, it is evident that the Great Houses believe their greatest threat is each other. Each Great House is given authority and resources to harden the defenses of a Prefecture. Most family members moved to the Prefecture that was turned over to their defense.

'''East'''

Lookshy ceases its membership in the Confederation of Rivers. Nexus, Greyfalls, and other regional centers of power send words of warning to Lookshy leadership. No messengers return. The Seventh Legion begins operations throughout the Scavenger Lands to bring noncompliant nations to heel.

The Bayou of Endless Regret expands with no visible effort by those in the Underworld. The shadowland is now only 3 days from Thorns. The shadowland also expands east and south placing Cold House, the dwelling of the Deathlord Eye and Seven Despairs, and more of the Kingdom of Harborhead within its borders.
