	If the Autumn Archmage is interested in the business of war, the herald proposes that during the Winter Solstice they use their plenipotentiary power to request that the [[Estavus\|City of Fire and Stone]] make tools of war available to them. If they specifically mention in their missive that they have asked the City of Gold and Lead to serve as intermediaries, then the herald is confident that between them the two cities could provide access to significant amounts of enchanted weapons and armour for those directly fighting the Empire's enemies, boons to aid their warriors on the battlefield, and potentially valuable adjuncts to their war machine. She refuses to be drawn as to whether the Grendel Wind Lords have already made such a request of the Autumn ~~Realm~~.

	Finally there is the matter of [[I_heard_a_source#Silver_is_only_a_Superfluity\|Ogila's Tower]]. Built by the Runesmith Ogila more than a century ago, the tower stands on the Street of Runes in Kalpaheim. It has been locked and sealed since Ogila's death, but the City of Gold and Lead holds both the keys and the deeds to the property. Indeed, they offered them to the Empire two years ago - and were clear that that offer would be available only for a year. The tower itself is incomplete; it requires a set of mithril doors built to exacting specifications by the artisans of the City of Gold and Lead. Without them, it is just a tower, albeit one that stands on the site of a minor [[regio]]. If '''Kingfisher''' merely wishes to occupy the tower, then they may have the keys and the legal documents involved for a single payment of 5 thrones. The regio would however remain closed but its ideal position on the Street of Runes would be a boon to any [[runesmith]] wishing to sell their services to the people of Kalpaheim. (OOC Note: It would represent a [[business]] with two upgrades and two diversifications. Each season the owner would receive 9 crowns and 4 ingots of random mine materials. It would follow all the rules for a personal resource, including the ability to be exchanged with someone else. There would be no additional particular opportunities although it would be a suitable location for a [[fane]] should the owner consent to giving the resource up).

	For the first time in a very long time - perhaps for the first time in the history of the Empire - the [[Sadogua\|Brother of Wizards]] declines an invitation to parley with Imperial magicians. The single messenger, a stooped creature with bat-like features covered in russet fur - is almost apologetic when they deliver their message for the Archmage of Night. Reading between the lines, Sadogua is ''very angry indeed'' about something that happened during the Autumn Equinox. Specifically, the use of ritual magic to "steal" something called the "Whistling Strand", transporting it permanently to [[Varushka]]. The bat-herald explains that the strand was a part of Sadogua's demesne before the "thieves" stole it, and that the ~~Globbersnotch~~ is quite put out that nobody waited for him to agree. While both '''Elyssiathian''' and '''Brat Umbral-Path''' have tried to address the sheer rudeness of the Circle of Zulgan-Tash, the Globbersnotch is unmoved. "''It was an impressive use of magic,''" the herald says. "''But that doesn't prevent it being a very rude one.''"

	Sadogua is apparently not angry - or rather not ''just'' angry - but also hurt. In the last few years alone he has aided Imperial magicians to fight the Druj, used not one but ''both'' irreplaceable magical boons to move things around in Urizen, helped evacuate magicians from all over the [[Iron Confederacy]], tirelessly served as confidant and advisor to magicians all over the Empire, crafted magical tools to inspire and empower Imperial wizards... and apparently all of that is not enough and now the Empire has taken even more. Taken ''a portion of his realm'' because they could not be bothered to wait for permission.		Sadogua is apparently not angry - or rather not ''just'' angry - but also hurt.

	Now that they seem to have gained a measure of humility, Surut is minded to engage in parley with the Archmage. Their [[Unending Onslaught]] is a thing of beauty in the eyes of the Broken One, worthy of recognition. Let the Archmage come with three of their entourage to the Hall of Worlds at 23:00 on Friday evening, and from there travel to meet with Surut in his encampment in the hinterlands between the Wasteland and the mortal realm.

	There are two matters, however, on which the Archmage is likely to be disappointed. Surut has no interest in removing his aid from the Druj. Even if the Archmage is correct, and their nation is on the verge of collapse, what does it matter to the Ashen Knight? When people are desperate, they grasp for any help they can find, and Surut finds that desperation pleasing. If the Druj are destroyed, then Surut will be there to feast on their fall, as it should be. If the Conclave chooses to place Surut under [[Alignment#Enmity\|enmity]] as a consequence then so be it - the Prince has more than enough fury to go around.

	[[The_Thrice-cursed_Court#Surut\|Prince Surut]], Raging Fire of Winter, whose spear cleaves through stone, metal and flesh without pause, sends a messenger to Anvil less than a week before the Winter Solstice. Clad in rusted and ruined chain, wherever the lone knight treads their boots char and sear the ground. They waste no time visiting the Hub to deliver the Ashen Knight's response to the Archmage of Winter's plenipotentiary.

	Now that they seem to have gained a measure of humility, Surut is minded to engage in parley with the Archmage. Their [[Unending Onslaught]] is a thing of beauty in the eyes of the Broken One, worthy of recognition. Let the Archmage come with three of their entourage to the Hall of Worlds at XX on Friday evening, and from there travel to meet with Surut in his encampment in the hinterlands between the Wasteland and the mortal realm. The Ashen Knight gives his word that none will be harmed, save that they ask it of him.
