Editing Unseen Empire (section)

=== Near collapse ===
In the last moment, the Unseen Emperor was rescued from Rags' vengeance by [Lord] [[Tyrion Veltras]] who drove off the Goblins. Laken saw himself obliged to aid him at his siege of [[Liscor]], by committing his [Engineers] and trebuchets to that siege. He took a few hundred Goblins prisoners, and intended to come to an understanding with them once they had all returned home. However, transporting the Goblins back to his lands required his personal oversight. Lacking a movement skill, Laken needed approximately two months for the same distance that only required a week during Veltras' campaign.

The Unseen Empire was neglected in Laken's absence, and [Bandits] started to turn up everywhere in his lands, no longer held in check by the obliterated military of the surrounding cities, or Riverfarm's weakened Riders. As Laken can only ''survey'' his lands as long as he is in them himself, he had no longer the ability to help or direct his people. Many markers of the Unseen Empire were lost, if they hadn't been destroyed by Rags previously. He even called for Ryoka to see to things while he was away. In Laken's absence, [Witches] sought shelter in Riverfarm, and together with Ryoka, they could fix some issues.

The [[Walled City]] of [[Manus]] sent an [Infiltrator] to Riverfarm, as a retaliation against Laken's participation in the Liscor campaign. After [Witch Hunters] from [[Terandria]] teleported to the area to take on the [Stitch Witch] [[Belavierr]], and nearly succeeded in their hunt, Ryoka and the Witches could prevent the total destruction of Riverfarm.
