You decide that the Ur-Uk scholar can stay at the fortress if he wants to learn Methiantese culture.
1167 AD, Late Autumn
City of Karasau remains unbroken.
Few days after the report from the east, you receive news from Orcworld fortress; a new delegation of Ur-Uk arrived to pick up Ururang. The scholar in question extensively studied weapons and stonework of Orcworld Fortress, as well as examined foodstuffs and plants and minerals stored in the storerooms. He picked up some scrolls and ledgers of lesser importance that the fort's archivist was able to part with.
Ururang himself, before leaving, written a lengthy scroll with charcoal. The letters of Ur-Uk are as numerous as they're flowing; the wise men at the fortress counted up thirty different symbols, and amongst them sixteen seem to have two or three variations each, with only a 'dot' or 'line' of difference.
The delegation left without any further ado.

Victory for the Cydwyl! King Estjald managed to break the strength of Helliste in half, and they yielded to his demands. They're no longer allowed to gouge prices or impose taxes on Cydwyllian merchants, and King Helo has also to pay eight years worth of tribute.
Meanwhile, Karasau is still under siege. Fireblood attacks have pierced two out of four layers of the Parsian walls, and many houses and estates were plundered, but the military and governmental center remains untouched. Still, the Parsian leaders reject any peace talks.
