In the lands of Clan Ironmound a call makes its way to the people of Mardun. A summons to bring the Ulven clans together for a Moot. Tensions rise between the clans as stories of raiders and strife make their way across Mardrun. Rumors begin to spread. Many point fingers to Grimward, claiming they are the ones responsible. Others speculate rival clans such as Stormjarl or Nightriver are in action to cast Grimward as the villains. The most prevalent is the words of wandering skald who claims to have been in a skirmish between Nightriver and Grimward forces on the edge of Nightriver and City State lands. With such heavy accusations being thrown the meeting is sure to be a lively political affair and one that will have lasting consequences. If the rumors prove to be true several of these actions are in violation of the Armistice Treaty which ended the Ulven Civil War several years ago. With the meeting set in Ironmound territory it is uncertain how many of the Clans will be in attendance. The Ironward Alliance remains a standing pact between Grimward and Ironmound and may prove a deterrent for some smaller clans.
Word reaches south that Pack Longfang stands after its call for aid and following stand against a new wave of Mordok. While they remain strong and continue their watch on the northern edge of civilization, they will certainly need more time before they are at their full strength again as defenders of the Shield of Mardrun.
The fluctuations in weather across Mardrun lead to an uptick in early preparation for the spring planting. Many farming communities take advantage of several streaks of warm dry weather. So long as Winter doesn’t return with a vengeance, folk can expect a good year of harvests and many bountiful spring festivals.
Clan Shattered Spear releases a statement thanking those who aided in the salvation of their lands from the Mordok. With the pushing back was a success, there is much work still left to do. Even with the weight of loss and the labor of rebuilding, there is hope that they will build back stronger from this attack from the Mordok.
