Mathilda Fisher is still in Bregasland. Her family still claims the territory is the “Free Bregas” and she's been profligate with her promises to the households who've remained in the conquered territory. There's talk of a council of stewards, to advise the woman who seems to be planning to rule as queen in all but name. She's sent out Fisher storytellers to spread twisted tales of Bregasland's past, casting Tom Drake as a betrayer who betrayed the households to the Empire during the Cousin's War. Their stories are pernicious, casting the Fisher's who quit their homes to hide out in the western marshes, who fled to Hordalant, as valiant heroes rather than defeated traitors. Some listen. Most don't. There are too many orcs in Bregasland for most Bregas to lend more than half an ear to tales of courageous Fishers here to liberate their kin from the Imperial yoke.
