==On Ma-Ha-Suchi==
11:31] <~Anshu> No more Empress sightings, for one, and the Purists seem to have quieted down greatly. That's a good thing, because Ma-Ha-Suchi has finally decided to make his move on the East and is moving steadily toward the Blessed Isle, using twisted Lunar fertility magics to swell his armies with monstrous beast-children with each new conquered village and town.

[11:34] <~Anshu> The Deliberative is deploying legions to confront him, but Ma-Ha-Suchi's horde are masters of guerrilla war and difficult to pin down, and the Grand Circle is reluctant to use the Sword of Creation as a large-scale solution to the problem, mindful of the number of prisoners he's taken.

[11:35] <dakkareth> Going by that map, if he sets out from his Nameless Lair (which would now be somewhere in the Wyld), he should pass through Denandsor territory on the way.

[11:35] <~Anshu> Yeah.

[11:35] <~Anshu> He's making his way up toward Denandsor's general area.

[11:42] <~Anshu> There was some diplomatic contact prior to this, but it wasn't very productive. He stubbornly refused to join the Deliberative, as Raksi has been doing, and made threatening noises about destroying civilization, but nobody thought he'd actually be foolish enough to try and make good on it.

[11:44] <~Anshu> The Silver Pact's public reaction has been horrified as news of the rape camps and forced breeding programs has leaked out with the scant few refugees to escape the wave of conquest.

[11:45] <~Anshu> In private, reactions range from shocked and horrified to horrified but not, on reflection, that surprised.
