Society Name: East Torphan
1) Troop Support for Tanimbar
Action - External, Strategic (continued action)
Secret Action
Army units are split between defensive assignments and
scouts/surveyors/engineers. While some scouts/surveyors/engineers
continue to observe Cedonian fortifications to try and increase the
understanding they achieved last year (+2 success).
The main focus now shifts to surveying the border lands and finding
new and previously unknown routes into Cedonia. More strenuous efforts
are made to establish good relations w/ locals who might be of
assistance in finding routes through the mountains or who might help
fight the Cedonian units. The Ophier (mages) take part in the scouting
and practice both their surveying skills and those of illusion and
concealment.
(The Burcancy has taken good care to maintain good relations w/ local
populace. Quote from Burcancy rules of engagement - " Civilian and
enemy troops are to be respected. Any infractions will be dealt w/
seriously but fairly." Future actions will encourage even greater
cooperation w/ local civilian population.)
King Villard himself will visit w/ the Burcancy & Tanimbar generals and
staff. He will also spend some time in the mountains to help establish
relations w/ the some of the tribes that might assist Burcancy goals.

5) Brotherhood to be Trained by Mir to become War Mages
Action - External, Strategic (continued action)
Secret Action
The new apprentice War Mages continue to train under Mirish
sorcerers. Training will continue as long as feasible and that Mir is
willing to help. There is hope that these mages will be available to
help in the Sinari war.
Some concerns exist among the Brotherhood about the apprentices
being influenced (or constrained in some way) by the Mir. The new
War Mages are to be monitored upon return but the new knowledge believed
to be gained by observation and proximity to these new talents (along w/
the knowledge
gained from the Sinari war) and the assistance the new War Mages can
provide in future struggles is deemed to be outweigh current concerns.
