Malign Gaze will announce that an army is massing in Old Turnip, concealed from conventional scrying but detected by her special methods.

"Wizards, you've heard here so far a lot of bullshit about new orders and improvements and change. A lot of talk, and you probably wonder exactly what it means. And maybe you wonder who exactly is going to bring about these changes. I don't know what those of you who are supporting it were told, but I know what I was told, and one thing it didn't include was any mention of THIS." "This huge thing, some kind of precatastrophic machine, has been ploughing a highway through the crystal forest near the Watchmount. It has made incredible progress, and broke through the forest yesterday. It is heavily shielded against conventional scrying, but not against advanced methods I came up with myself. So now there is a road between my territory and the Northwest, specifically, the territory of New Equestria, whose form of government some here are ballyhooing, but, I add, a government which could not protect it from a devastating attack by changelings and rogue dragons that killed its queen and the heir apparent."
