During the Winter Solstice, the Freeborn Sails of the First Flame evoked the powerful Imperial enchantment Hallow of the Green World. This is the first time the ritual has been performed in the Empire since Spring 380YE, and the first time since Lord Rain resumed contact with Imperial magicians. Heralds of Lord Rain have issued from Spring regio across the Empire, offering aid and succour to anyone who will accept it. They are keen to converse with Spring magicians, with healers of all kinds, and with foresters, farmers and fisherfolk. The powerful enchantment coincided with a plenipotentiary sent by the Archmage of Spring, Ibiss Briarheart, and it seems that message has helped guide Ossegrahn's priorities.
