	News of the [[382YE_Winter_Solstice_Conclave_sessions#Reconciliation_:_Rivers_Run_Red\|recent developments in the Conclave]] have reached the Marches and caused considerable concern. There is understandable alarm that barely two years since this deadly curse was used to slay thousands of helpless Imperial citizens, people are seeking to use it again. Fortunately the landskeepers are able to calm the angry sentiments. They point out that the declaration was defeated, and with the help of the Empress, no less.

Fortunately the landskeepers are able to calm the angry sentiments. They point out that the declaration was defeated, and with the help of the Empress, no less.

	In gratitude for the work done to keep the ritual [[interdiction\|interdicted]], the landskeepers have offered to help create powerful new menhirs for any [[Yeomen of the Marches\|yeoman]] who is prepared to cover the costs. As long as [[Rivers Run Red]] remains interdicted by the [[~~Imperial~~ Conclave]], any Marcher character that owns a [[farm]] in a Marcher territory will be able to [[Farm#Diversification\|diversify]] it to produce mana. It will cost the owner one throne each time they diversify in this way, and they will lose 30 rings of income as a result, but the farm will produce one mana crystal for each level of this diversification. The landskeepers make clear that the help will be withdrawn if the Conclave remove the interdiction. The option to build new stones would disappear, although any menhirs already built - any diversification that was complete - would be unaffected.

	In addition, the miners of Mournwold have an additional offer to make to the [[Grandmaster]] of the [[Silver Chalice]]. If the Conclave will pass a [[declaration]] of [[concord]] confirming that the view of the Conclave is that no Imperial magician should '''ever''' use curses to slay Imperial citizens, then they will provide a permanent [[Conclave_vault#Bequests\|bequest]] to the order. Half a dozen [[mine]] owners have pledged their support, so if a suitably worded declaration is passed then the order will receive four ingots of [[Materials#Green Iron\|green iron]], two ingots of [[Materials#Weltsilver\|weltsilver]], and one ingot of [[Materials#Tempest Jade\|tempest jade]] each season.

	Nowhere is this more true than the cities of the League which have bustling markets where mana is bought and sold. All four of the great cities benefit from one of [[Lorenzo%27s_Legacy#The_Legacies_of_Virtue\|Lorenzo's legacies]] but [[Tassato]], [[Sarvos]], and [[Temeschwar]] also boast impressive exchanges, built to ensure a steady trade in crystals between inhabitants and visitors of those cities. Ambitious merchants in Tassato have demonstrated that with only a relatively modest expansion to the three exchanges they could be well placed to support the Conclave. It would require an investment of mithril to enhance the production, but in return they would guarantee to provide the Civil Service with first refusal on the purchase of the excess mana. That would enable the grandmasters to purchase mana at significantly improved rates.

	The proposal from the League merchants requires a single [[Senate motion]] to ~~authorize~~ the expansion of all three exchanges. The merchants are keen to tap into the lucrative trade supporting the Conclave so they are prepared to provide a number of skilled architects and builders from their own ranks to support the civil service. As a result, the expansion would require only a single [[commission]], 60 wains of mithril, and 120 crowns to build. Once construction was complete the network would allow the civil service to purchase more mana for the same amount of money. The production of every existing grandmaster's ministry would improve to the rate shown in the table.

	Among those who understand magic, there has been much discussion of the claim that Rivers Run Red is essential as a method to combat [[Rivers of Life]].

However, from their knowledge of magic, they seem scornful of the idea that the ''only'' way that might be achieved is using the most dreadful [[curse]] in [[Imperial lore]].

The option to build new ~~dolmens~~ would disappear, although any ~~dolmens~~ already built - any diversification that was complete - would be unaffected.		In gratitude for the work done to keep the ritual [[interdiction\|interdicted]], the landskeepers have offered to help create powerful new menhirs for any [[Yeomen of the Marches\|yeoman]] who is prepared to cover the costs. As long as [[Rivers Run Red]] remains interdicted by the [[Imperial Conclave]], any Marcher character that owns a [[farm]] in a Marcher territory will be able to [[Farm#Diversification\|diversify]] it to produce mana. It will cost the owner one throne each time they diversify in this way, and they will lose 30 rings of income as a result, but the farm will produce one mana crystal for each level of this diversification. The landskeepers make clear that the help will be withdrawn if the Conclave remove the interdiction. The option to build new stones would disappear, although any menhirs already built - any diversification that was complete - would be unaffected.

	In addition, the miners of Mournwold have an additional offer to make to the [[Grandmaster]] of the [[Silver Chalice]]. If the Conclave will pass a [[declaration]] of [[concord]] confirming that the view of the Conclave is that no Imperial magician should '''ever''' use curses to slay Imperial citizens, then they will provide a permanent [[Conclave_vault#Bequests\|bequest]] to the order. Half a dozen [[mine]] owners have pledged their support, so if a suitably worded declaration is passed then the order will receive four ingots of [[Materials#Green Iron\|green iron]], two ingots of [[Materials#Weltsilver\|weltsilver]], and one ingot of [[Materials#Tempest Jade\|tempest jade]] each season.
