The war cries of orcs rise up in Acknor, as their blood lust for furrikin slaves can no longer be contained. In response, the singing of the furrikin in Estelbar rises up in a protective enchantment. No longer caring about the politics of the Basin, the orcs of Acknor declare themselves free and no longer under the sphere of influence of the Grand Empire of Hallifax, and the furrikin of Estelbar declare themselves free and no longer under the sphere of influence of the Free Collective of Serenwilde.

The Village of Estelbar has called down a temporary spell of peace to protect its borders, declaring that it does not ever wish war within its borders at any time.
