Argonian invitation 

As a representative is already on his way (Albiet with the wrong deadline in mind), the Empire does not send a second. ((He'll arrive once people pay attention to it all...))
Possibly to the chagrin of the Argonians,several copies of the letter are given to a messenger who is set to ride down to Elsweyr over the coming days to deliver it. Elsweyr is part of the Empire, and given the current split in the population the Empire is determined to get as many of them as possible on his side, ensuring they are treated as well as they possibly can be by the Empire

Force Movements

As news of missing patrols spread, the forces do a U-turn and begin to head back towards Cheydinhal, this time not on the look out for werewolves but for "Cults". Perhaps more appropriately than the reinforcements returning once again was the opening of an official inquiry and investigation into the missing patrols. The patrols are now given horses and pilum, and an emergency law is put into place, giving the patrols permission to use their weapons should anyone come within ten foot, and patrols are tripled in number from one man to three. Of course, many would rather use use their weapons to drive people away rather than attacking innocent civilians. Forces are dispatched to search the nearby caves and houses inspected for evidence, the natural border of the mountains is said to rule out the possibility of extra-national incursion. The act of "Ghost patrols", as it has been dubbed by one of the officers attending the secret meetings, is quietly being considered as a viable strategy.
