We here at the Imperial Capital of de-I Land, much as the Romans of old are subject to various barbarian invasions. Mostly from the Goths. It is a constant ebb and flow. Sometimes the Empire is the one on the offensive. Imperial intelligence has been warning us for months that a massive coordinated Gothic attack was in the works.
The first wave of attackers, intelligence told us would be the SinoGoths. They were on one of their many migrations, this time from China. They are led by the arch enemy, Queen Pulisha, she who once told us the only tribute we that could stay their invasion was New Mexico Green Chile in vast quantities (see link above).
As luck would have it, their voyage from China to New Mexico was exhausting. Rather than attack us, we were able to play the role of magnanimous hosts and assuage their travel weary bodies and souls with cheese, bread, fruit, olives, wine, and a place to crash.
We took them to a resettlement village today in hopes they will see this as a reasonable place to plunder until they head off on their next migration. However, there is rumor of more Gothic attacks in the immediate future.

When invaders sense weakened borders around an empire, they tend to come in waves. May the gods protect you!
I think the warnings should be headed. They can be bribed with Grapenuts, some of them
