	One evening not long after the Summer Solstice, an emerald-green creature appears at the Imperial regio. They wear a flowing blue-green robe and a hat in the Varushkan style, and eerie magical sigils that seem to move freely across their skin. They seem quite animated, and stride quickly down to the Hub to deliver a message from the ''[[Meraud\|Summer Enchanter]]'' for the attention of the [[Archmage of Summer]]. The ''Lord of the Lake'' has received the plenipotentiary, and will attend parley in the Hall of Worlds during the coming Equinox to discuss Several Matters of Import.

The ''Lord of the Lake'' has received the plenipotentiary, and will attend parley in the Hall of Worlds during the coming Equinox to discuss Several Matters of Import.

	Among these Matters of Import will be maps of the Summer ~~Realm~~ and the Citadel of [[tempest jade]]. Meraud also wishes to meet the [[A horn resounding\|Summer Children]] who [[A_horn_resounding#Watchful_Eyes\|invoked his boon]] - '''Leo the Rainbow Sage''' and '''Catrina the Unbelievably Magical'''.

Meraud also wishes to meet the [[A horn resounding\|Summer Children]] who [[A_horn_resounding#Watchful_Eyes\|invoked his boon]] - '''Leo the Rainbow Sage''' and '''Catrina the Unbelievably Magical'''.

	However, what Meraud ''really'' wants to talk about is the plight of the magicians of the [[Iron Confederacy]], and what the Imperial Conclave can do to help them reach safety in the Empire. According to his agents, the Suranni purge of the Hand of Dumon is also catching many innocent magicians who just want to be left alone. While Meraud is unfortunately unable to help the Summer Archmage "''split the Bay of Catazar, creating a walkway across the bay, which the Suranni wizards and their family can use to flee persecution''", he has a proposal of his own. His herald ''Vortigan the Seacharmer'' has been working with the Hand of Dumon who have a plan to break open [[Bay_of_Catazar#Axiom_Prison\|Axiom Prison]]. In doing so they will free both their compatriots and any number of innocent magicians (as well as quite a few mundane so-called criminals, but Meraud's green-skinned herald seems breezily unconcerned about this). Unfortunately they lack the resources needed to do so. With the aid of the Conclave, however, this plan can be brought to fruition and the freed wizards helped to reach the safety of Imperial shores.

	Barely a week before the Autumn Equinox, a large black bird emerges from the Imperial regio and flies straight to the Hub. This is ''Anushak'', a herald of [[Wise Rangara]], and it is [[The_bird_and_the_child#Wise_Rangara\|not the first time they have visited Anvil this year]]. While its previous visit had been marked by a certain playful evasiveness, it is all business this time. According to the bird, the [[Archmage of Winter]] has requested a parley with an entity of the Winter realm not well known in the Empire. The Archmage has called them the ''Silent Witness''. Wise Rangara warns that this is an ''extremely bad idea'', but that in the interests of helping Imperial citizens gain Wisdom, Wise Rangara will arrange an opportunity for the Winter Archmage and up to three other individuals to gain an audience with the being - "''much good may it do them''."

	Four days after the Summer Solstice, a dozen heralds of the ''[[Sadogua\|Brother of Wizards]]'' arrive at Anvil. They all head down to the Hub and cause significant disruption with a barrage of questions, and suggestions for ways the Civil Service could integrate more magic into their processes. The apparent leader - ''Joy'' - indicates that the ''Globbersnotch'' has received the Archmage's unexpected invitation to [[Archmage#Parley\|parley]], and obviously accepts. He also bows to the request that the parley not take place during Conclave. As a consequence he will be arriving in the Hall of Worlds around two o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday on the understanding Friday conclave will probably be over by then. As well as himself he will be bringing a few heralds - including (as a favour) a herald of [[Azoth]] who is keen to offer a ''unique experience'' to Imperial wizards.

Joy indicates that the ''Toad King'' is in a good mood, and is looking forward to a chance to renew his acquaintance with the magicians of the Empire (rather than a round of "''grubbing for boons''" as he apparently refers to it). As the Archmage has enquired as to what ''he'' wants from a parley, however, he has given it some thought and made three requests.

	First, anyone who has received a boon from Sadogua and wishes its power to be restored should bring it along, and be prepared to explain how they've used that boon to improve their own power and prestige. He will restore the power of ''three'' such items, and plans to reclaim the others. He is particularly keen to hear from the ''Happy Toad'' - what it has been up to, what kind of rituals it has been involved in, what it thinks of its current companions - and urges the wizard who currently has it in their possession to bring it along to the parley if possible.
