	An [[Autumn magic]] enchantment has settled over Zenith which means that those travelling to, trading in or settling in the targeted territory find themselves part of a chain of coincidence that makes it easier for them to find their feet. Traders find excellent deals for exactly the goods they are carrying in unexpected places, Travellers find themselves drawn along routes which highlight the territories most attractive and sumptuous geographic features and settlers find the location they have chosen to live just so happens to be well located to exploit a valuable resource. Those living in the territory are often affected by a subtle urge to do something with these revealed windfalls, to build a home to enjoy the vistas, to use the unexpected profits to buy more local goods, to begin mining or logging and so on.
