And if the unlucky stay on the books for a few more months what's it matter?

Shammuramat celebrates waiting.  Shammuramat is waiting to see whether any neighbors will ask for any land, in an attempt to meet the cold with peaceful cooperation instead of war.  Has been quiet so far.

Cristata isn't eager to migrate north.  Elsewhere, Celebrants are in the tropics, so welcoming migrants, instead of trudging out of the temperate lands into the tropics, hat in hand, looking for something to eat and somewhere to live.  But in Scrittel where Cristata lives, the freeze will come, and Cristata is cut off from the tropical celebrants; she must migrate through lands held by others.  Will they welcome migrants from the south?

Observes Ice is now wondering about an attack strategy that uses the new southmen who are cheaper to recruit than to feed.  A pocket full of silver on Wretched Castaway's island will today purchase a large army (but not feed it).  Is there some way to use this?  Do any of the gate spells carry a whole army?

Panssy should go back to rescue Observes Ice and Describes Southern Islands from Wretched Castaway's Island.  But she really doesn't want to.  It will take a long time to swim there now, and the sea is very cold.  Panssy wonders whether there is any faster way to travel through the ice?  Sleds, maybe?
