2. [Faith] Convert HC1 in Rhune (region 96) back to Rhunic Animism. Roll: 17
3. [Intrigue] The religious lore not seeming sufficient, a deep dive into the origins and purposes of the Cairns begins. The deeper lore dive drives investigators to ancient texts and hisories that tell fanciful and sometimes unbelievable tails to match the verbal lore. Scholars are even sent to the now fracturing core of the Empire to uncover what its libraries might hold. [5/8 Great Project]
4. [Intrigue] It is obvious that the Cairns alone are not the only such artifacts of their type. But where and what other such artifacts seem to remain a mystery. Rumours circulate that the Yondarians carve similar runes into their coastal trees, while word reachs those under the Margravine's orders of similar stones far to the west. Investigation is done into these rumours in hopes of better understanding the stones. [6/8 Great Project]

News and Rumours:

• The growing peril in the north, as the plague spreads into those cold lands, seems to prompt action. The long and arduous effort to see relationships between Rhune and the mainland blossom seems to finally come to a head when the Margravine receives a message from Saaremaa to the south that seem to capture her attention. The letter, like so many she had recieved before, comes from her long time pen pal and rumored lover, the great commander Kaisa av Saaremaa. The news it brings over joys the Rhunite leader, who gathers her Council to address the implications.
• A meeting is scheduled, the leaders from the northern end of the neighboring peninsula arriving upon the Isle to discuss the deal Kaisa av Saaremaa seems to have orchestrated: the unification of the Margraviate with the Duchy of Saaremaa. Representatives from both realms gather in Njauddâm to discuss bringing the two disparate peoples together. Orchestrated and headed by Lieđđi and Kaisa, the end result is a treaty establishing the United Northern Confederacy of Rhune and Saaremaa. After much politicking, the two women secure positions as the diarchical rulership of the new realm.
• The arrival of representatives from Ti Linnad is met with curiosity. Not only is it only the second such arrival from far flung lands after Yondar, but the equal curiosity and friendship illustrated by the newcomers, aiding with dealing with the plague, is appreciated across the Isle. The powers that be invite the foriegners to the Great Hall in A´kkel, greeting them earnestly and generously.
