All of the following are happening around the time that Sijann burns
In the West In the South west The The Roseblack has greatly reduced the activity of pirates in the south however she has come into contact with the Lintha barbarians & robbed of support for the realm by the opening phases of what appears to be the long expected & feared civil war she is struggling.
In the mid west The Silver princes influence waxes ever greater as his rivals find themselves continually outmanoeuvred diplomatically and played skilfully one against another.
In the north west strange pelagic barbarians seem to be migrating south and east fleeing some terrible & unknown foe
In the Realm There is a insurrection in the western provinces in the name of the Red Empress returned, which is being barely contained by the forces acting in the name of the region and the rump of the deliberative. In the south of the Realm House Carthak supported form its holdings in the Harbourhead rallies its forces but has not made its move yet. Menemon is said to have disappeared & wild rumours the true nature of her fate are rife.
In the South Life continues as before though the astute note that the realm satrapies are becoming more in the nature of independent kingdoms & the great powers of the south are stretching their powers as the constraint of the realm loosen as its power turns inward. The harbourhead recently pacified by the defeat of the Ishadhi & its allies at Ifanaris has become the power base of House Carthack
