Thanks to the soldiers of Cold Sun, the entire Empire has been in a state of turmoil. Yet some nations have more than their fair share of disruption and chaos. The Marches is one such nation. While fortifications and armies billeted in Upwold and Mitwold have helped deal with the invading heralds of the Day realm, it sometimes seems as if the people of the Marches are their own worst enemies. In Mitwold, the attack from the Day realm is complicated by savage heralds of the Maelstrom, although the outcome of these attacks is entirely unexpected. In Bregasland, the lingering impact of Mathilda Fisher's attempt to establish an independent nation between Jotun and Empire are still being felt. In the Mourn the matter of the Mournwold Orcs comes to a head - less violent and disruptive than anarchic entities and simmering grudges but with much further reaching implications, perhaps. At least Upwold is quiet; Freeborn and Navarr soldiers rubbing shoulders with human Marchers and Mournwold orcs and the occasional Free Folk straggler, all working together to tend the harvest under the Summer Sun. In between fighting off the emissaries of Cold Sun, of course.
