	While the Lady of Pennants would always wish to hear tales of victory, especially over monsters like the ''scions of oblivion'', it is her judgement that such stories have no place in a meeting that addresses insults done to a member of her court. As such, she declines to hear them. Perhaps when due restitution has been made to her Lord of the Hawks there will be a time for such merry business.

	Venator has one final note for the Archmage; the one known as the Lady of the Semmerlak, who was once the service of another, now stands between the Court of Pennants, the court of the Unicorn King, and the court of the Summer Mage. All three have offered her a place but she has so far declined to commit to any one of the three. It would be unseemly for the Queen of the Fields of Red and Gold to serve as a messenger, but if the Archmage wishes to speak to the doyenne of the Semmerlak, perhaps one of the other two monarchs of the Summer ~~Realm~~ might be prepared to arrange such a parley.

	Some of the responses have been coloured by the [[mandate]] enacted by the [[~~Imperial~~ Synod]]. '''Ourania Neofoti of the House of the Wanderer''' has urged Imperial citizens to [[385YE_Winter_Solstice_Synod_judgements#Judgement_125\|be very cautious]] of deals with inhuman powers, and to pay close attention to those who seek to make them. While the mandate has been broadly ignored in [[Varushka]] and [[Urizen]], it has led to a great deal of discussion in other nations and it seems some eternals at least are aware of its impact.

	During the Winter Solstice, each archmage dispatched a plenipotentiary and as the Spring Equinox approaches, six eternals send messengers to deliver their replies.

	The Archmage requested several specific things which the ''Hammer of Flame and Stone'' has carefully considered. The Empire wishes to purchase tools of war; the forges of Shikal are always happy to provide such things. With due reflection, she chooses to make a number of offers available to Imperial magicians and institutions. The herald cautions however that the ''[[Lictors\|Artificers of the Law]]'' have made all the cities of the Iron Labyrinth aware of the dictates of the [[~~Imperial~~ Synod]] encouraging their people to be extremely cautious in their dealing with powers such as the City of Flame and Stone. The city does not wish to risk it's equitable relationship with the Empire, and will bear this lawful injunction in mind when it comes to arrangements with Imperial citizens.

	On one particular point, however, the eternal has little to offer: there is no pass between Zenith and Sarangrave that might be closed. The border between Urizen and the Mallum is a long stretch of woody-marsh that runs between the foothills and the Feverwater. While the ''Queen of Brass and Iron'' sees the importance of protecting the Crucible of Fate, it is not prepared to exert the kind of influence that might be needed to create a barrier there. There are also few ways to do so without inflicting serious damage on the territory itself.

Since Summer 380YE, this means "''they are prohibited from knowingly interacting with eternals or their heralds''." Venator has indicated that both are expected to attend the meeting, possibly due to the matter of their role in the insult done to Eleonaris' companion [[Hayaak\|Prince Hayaak]], but the request of an eternal does not trump Imperial law. What is more, endorsement ''cannot'' override an explicit legal statement from the Conclave or another Imperial body of state, so the Conclave cannot use it to permit the De Gauvin's to attend the meeting. The only way the Conclave can grant them license to attend the meeting is to remove the declaration of sorcery.

If they raise a Declaration of Concord in which they announce that they accept the aid of their ''Wise Grandmother'' and commit themselves and their successors to protecting not only the Bleak Tower but the herb gardens of Morrow as a whole, and the Conclave agrees, then Wise Rangara will grant a boon. An old stone statuette of a raven that lies in her possession will be installed at the arboretum in the tower. This will cause the twisted trees there to weep sap more freely, raising the amount of Heart's Blood they are able to claim from 6 pawns a season to 9. It will also have other effects however; the bounty of herbs offered to the gardens of Urizen will shift and change. Instead of 2 random herbs and 1 dram of [[Cerulean Mazzarine]], they will produce 2 random herbs and a dram of [[Bladeroot]] - the better to deal with the lingering influence of the [[Druj]].

	Venator, Knight Hunter of <s>Hayaak</s> Eleonaris, has visited Anvil in the past on behalf of his liege. A [[Drinking_song_for_the_socially_anxious#A_visiting_hunter\|year ago]] the herald journeyed to Anvil to speak specifically with several members of [[Dawn_groups#House_de_Gauvain\|House de Gauvain]]. A month after the Winter Solstice, Venator returns to Anvil as an emissary of Eleonaris, in answer to the plenipotentiary of the Archmage of Summer. During the Solstice, the long-serving [[Highguard\|Highborn]] '''Brother Luke''' stepped down from the position, Their successor is a [[Dawn\|Dawnish]] [[Enchanter\|Enchantress]], '''Mirella of the Twisted Rose'''. It is to Mirella that Eleonaris' message is addressed, and concerns a meeting in the Hall of the Worlds to take place during the Spring Equinox.

	An emissary of Eleonaris will attend the Hall of Worlds at two in the afternoon on Saturday, as part of a formal delegation from their mistresses' demesne. The ''Queen of Scarlet and Gold'' requests ~~the~~ the Archmage of Summer bring [[Dawn groups#House de Gauvain\|House de Gauvain]], especially '''Lady Cecilia du Gauvain''' to meet with her herald to see the fulfilment of their oath. The meeting will not be a formal parley, but Venator seems unconcerned about the ability of the Archmage, as host of the meeting, to ensure good order.

	One potential fly in the ointment is that as of [[384YE_Autumn_Equinox_Conclave_sessions#Sorcery:_House_De_Gauvin\|the Autumn Equinox 384YE]], two prominent members of House deGauvain - the [[witch]] '''Lady Rosalynne de Guavin''' and [[Earl]] '''Sidlore Edric Charge de Gauvin''' are declared [[Sorcery\|sorcerers]]. Since Summer 380YE, this means "''they are prohibited from knowingly interacting with eternals or their heralds''." Venator has indicated that both are expected to attend the meeting, possibly due to the matter of their role in the insult done to Eleonaris' companion [[Hayaak\|Prince Hayaak]], but the request of an eternal does not trump Imperial law. What is more, endorsement ''cannot'' override an explicit legal statement from the Conclave or another Imperial body of state, so the Conclave cannot use it to permit the De Gauvin's to attend the meeting. The only way the Conclave can grant them license to attend the meeting is to remove the declaration of sorcery.
