![](1-DerikAttacks002.png)
Derik and five other weaponthanes head off--so I find myself a little short handed, militarily speaking.

So I fix that.

Derik comes back without having lost a single weaponthane, and with eight goods besides. I wish we could send him out to do that more often.
Anyway, now we're practically swimming in weaponthanes.

Luena, a trader of our clan, heard rumors of a bizarre caravan approaching from the north. She went ot see it for herself, and now reports that the rumors are true. It is a troll caravan transporting goods south to the Shadow Plateau, in the Holy Country. The trolls use giant insects as beasts of burden; they are slow-moving and only travel at night.
Approach the trolls and see if they want to trade.
Assemble the other clans for a joint raid.
Do nothing.
Offer gifts to the trolls.
Raid the caravan.
