However with the help of the ~~Shuttered Lantern~~ and the ~~Silent Bell~~ they have been able to go much further. While the Silent Bell concentrated their efforts on hunting down the worst offenders, the priests were able to focus their ministrations on those who showed remorse for their actions and were prepared to renounce Agramant.

They identify those most inclined to support the Wintermark Assembly and bless them with a powerful aura of Loyalty that helps the recipient fully commit to the cause.

	While investigating the Agramant cults, the magicians of the Shuttered Lantern have uncovered a strange phenomena. They have found a massive boulder of ice, in an isolated, rocky area Tanikipari, which appears to have ties to Agramant. The site is believed to be connected to Wemba the Bloody, in the sense that one of his entourage was apprehended nearby with several vials of [[Vis#Heart.27s_Blood\|Heart's Blood]] on them. The blood comes from the nearby ice boulder, named '''The Bleeding Ice''' by the magicians who discovered it.

	Winter vis in the form of Heart's Blood slowly oozes from a pair of narrow openings near the top, nearly twenty up. The droplets slowly slide down the ice, without ever freezing, but collecting in a little stone basin that has been prepared at the base of the ice. For whatever reason, some wicked parody of life perhaps, the droplets look for all the world like tears. As a result the whole thing is more than a little disturbing to behold.		Winter vis in the form of Heart's Blood slowly oozes from a pair of narrow openings near the top, nearly twenty feet up.

For whatever reason, some wicked parody of life perhaps, the droplets look for all the world like tears. As a result the whole thing is more than a little disturbing to behold.

	On the face of it, it seems like the best thing to do would be to destroy the ice boulder. However it's not possible to be certain that the bloody tears are definitely associated with Agramant. It seems highly likely, given the motifs involved, but there's no magic in Imperial lore that can confirm that. Even if it were true, one magician suggests that it might not be necessary to destroy the site. The viscous red tears are a little unpleasant it can't be denied, but at the end of the day they are just Heart's Blood.
