Status: Resolved Public: True GM: None


Action by Cristoph

Cristoph does not have the details, but has has been informed that blights such as the one in the Grey Forest and also the Oathlands are caused by the Bringers of Silence devouring the magic in the land, obviously he is also rather concerned about the idea of another war such as the one now consuming the Crownlands taking place closer to home.

He is going to send orders back to Artshall and have scouts map the extent of the blight within Laurent and their vassal's territory. If possible, he will also have a woods savvy local Seraph or Priest brought along to give the official church opinion on what is happening.

He also wants full reports on any changes in Abandoned activity, are there rumours of new leaders, are they raiding less, more? Migrating?


Result

Laurent lands have been largely untouched. It seems like where the Bringers of Silence have migrated, they leave dead land along in their wake, much like if the land had been overfarmed without any attempt at crop rotation for a generation, enough to completely deplete it. That's rare on Laurent lands though, it does seem to follow a pattern of some Abandoned migrating- migrating away from the Oathlands entirely, and towards arx, meaning that some Abandoned forces are definitely joining those at Arx, which could inflate their numbers.

Of course this means that there has been much less Abandoned activity in Laurent lands in general, and more than one vassal is praising Cristoph for keeping the peace and reducing the number of Abandoned, even if it's a coincidence. Good job, Duke Cristoph!
