	Translated with reference to a very old book about timekeeping, it appears that the Whisper Gallery agree to a formal parley at around half-past-ten on Friday evening. However, they will only attend if the former-[[sorcery\|sorcerer]] '''Ancel Watcher''' is allowed a private meeting of his own at the same time. The parley in the hall of worlds will begin shortly after Ancel's meeting with the Whisper Gallery which will take place... elsewhere.

	in the evening three days after the Spring Equinox, a ball of light emerges from the Imperial regio and floats unhurriedly to the Imperial Offices which are at that time still being dismantled. Politely waiting until someone has time to address it, the ball of light indicates that it is a messenger from the court of "''the Apex, who is called [[Sinokenon]]''". In cultured tones, it proclaims that the Archmage of Day, '''Gancius della Notte di Sarvos''', has dispatched a plenipotentiary. The ''Turning Mirror'' agrees to such a meeting under the normal rules for formal parley.		in the evening three days after the Spring Equinox, a ball of light emerges from the Imperial regio and floats unhurriedly to the Imperial Offices which are at that time still being dismantled.

	However, Sinokenon makes an additional requirement for the meeting. It wishes the Archmage to bring with them a formal representative of [[the Throne]], Imperatrix ~~Lisabette~~ von Holberg - or the Throne herself in the unlikely event she is available. Ideally this representative would be a member of the House of Seven Mirrors, but that is not a requirement. The Archmage may bring two others to the meeting as they think best.

	In each case, the eternals have specified the topics about which they or their representatives will discuss. Within the bounds of the parley, they are likely to refuse to discuss matters that fall outside the potentially rigid list of things they have agreed will fall under the purview of the parley. It is still possible to try and bring up topics outside of the matters agreed on in advance, but there is absolutely no guarantee the representative of the realms will want to discuss them - and some of the more formal entities might well be annoyed enough to end the parley early if they are badgered by (for example) a crowd of magicians all wanting ''their'' opportunity to explain why the eternal should pay attention to them.
