	In the past, when Kaela has offered her gifts to Imperial citizens she has faced opposition from the [[~~Imperial~~ Synod]]. She requires the explicit approval of Imperial priests before she will lend her aid against the vallorn. She wishes to see a [[statement of principle]] raised in the [[Assembly#General_Assembly\|General Assembly]] that encourages those in dire straits to accept the gift of Kaela, and to find solace in the swift and painless oblivion it brings. If the statement achieves a [[greater majority]], then those fighting against the vallorn in the four territories where it currently dwells will be able to call on her gift. The vallorn will [[Vallornspawn husk\|find no purchase]] in bodies reduced to dust. Should the assembly request her aid in this fashion, she will turn her thoughts to how else she might be able to help the Empire bring an end to the vallorn.

	Fulfilling this request may prove tricky, however. At the very least, there is evidence that those who accept the Gift of Kaela cannot be contacted with [[Whispers through the Black Gate]], and the spiritual implications of that have yet to be fully explored. The ''Cold Hearted'' has offered no explanation for this apparent side effect.		Fulfilling this request may prove tricky, however.

	The eternal is very pleased to see that the [[Construct_College_of_Engineering_and_Architecture\|College of Engineering]] has finally been completed in Temeschwar. It may have taken a little longer than anticipated, but what is time to a creature as everlasting and unchanging as Adamant? The King 'Neath The Diamond Peak anticipates that the [[~~Imperial~~ Conclave]] will be appointing the first [[Master of the Koboldi]] during the coming Solstice via the [[Candidacy\|Declaration of Candidacy]]. He has arranged for his ''koboldi'' to deliver some ''regalia'' to the bearer of this historic title once they are confirmed. The emissary will chat with the Summer Archmage at the same time, if they are available.

	More importantly, however, he has dispatched his servants to every corner of the Empire to see how they might combine their skills with Imperial wealth; the intent is to create a list of unique architectural projects that the Master of the Koboldi might find interesting. Over the next three months, ''koboldi'' pop up all over the Empire. Measuring, studying, asking questions and talking enthusiastically with Imperial citizens. They're enthusiastic about offering their aid to individuals in return for treasure - precious stones, gold, silver, and platinum for the most part - but mostly they are looking for opportunities. Chances to build imposing or valuable things to cement the bond between Adamant and the people of the Empire.

	The night before the first travellers begin to arrive at Anvil for the Winter Solstice, a messenger in dusty robes brings a message from the ''Black Dog'', the eternal [[Kaela]]. Obviously of Axos extraction, her unwholesome skin crinkles and rustles like paper when she walks. She is clearly one of the undying legions that attend upon the ''Sorrowful One''. As is generally the case with emissaries of the ''Queen of Silence'', the message she bears is short and to the point.

	In the darkest hour of the night, a herald of the eternal Roshanwe arrives at Anvil via the Imperial Regio. She is dressed in the manner of a Highborn sailor, albeit in a style three centuries out of date, and carries a burning torch. Untroubled by the late hour, she unerringly seeks out a Civil Servant, rousing them from their bed to receive a message from the Weaver of Nets. When the Civil Servant politely draws attention to the lateness of the hour, the emissary reminds them that if one has light, one should take it into the darkness, not waste it at noonday. The civil servant remains unamused, but professionalism can fill even the grumpiest of hearts.

	The emissary - who gives no name - indicates that Roshanwe is pleased to receive the message of the Archmage of Day. Regretfully, however, the herald apologises that the Beachcomber is simply unable to sponsor the Archmage's festival. Newness, novelty, inspiration - these things have their place but in general they are perhaps more suited to the dark shadows of Night than to the shining beacon of Day. While it sounds like it could be a worthy endeavour, unfortunately there is little in the idea of ''innovation'' for ~~it's~~ own sake that aligns with the Navigator's remit and nothing that they could help with. Moreover there is danger in such things, at least one great civilisation of past ages that valued innovation found itself devoured by catastrophe, ~~it's~~ heirs left to wander the trods for untold generations, and the Walker on the Littoral wishes no such fate for the Empire.

The youth then proceeded to dance and sing in the regio until representatives of the ~~milita~~ were fetched - attracting quite a crowd some of whom joined the herald in his spontaneous performance, imbibing freely from a seemingly endless flask of sweet water the fellow brought with him that filled those who drank it with energy and a zest for celebration. A Civil Servant was fetched, and the impromptu party tailed off a little as the emissary focused their attentions on their task - delivering a message from Lord Rain.

	The eternal welcomes the invitation of the Spring Archmage as the fields in Summer welcome the gentle rain.

	Reading between the lines, this appears to be a reaction to an attempt by the Autumn Archmage to address reports of a [[Small_but_nearby#An_Unpleasant_Altercation\|bounty offered on Imperial citizens]] by the Modnos family of Faraden. Specifically, a 10 Throne reward is offered for anyone who places the heart of one of three Imperial citizens the Modnos believe have impugned the good name of one of the family heroes into a box used with the [[Ephisis' Scale]] ritual. In essence, agents of the City of Gold and Lead appear to be offering some form of escrow service to facilitate the payment of assassins prepared to work for the Modnos. Furthermore they are pointedly refusing to stop doing so.

	However, the diplomat is keen to stress that the opportunity for profit still exists! The markets of the City of Lead and Gold bustle with buyers and sellers from every city in the realm. Two of them, agents of the [[Prospero\|City of Bridges]], and the [[Basileus Flint\|City of Locks]], have expressed an interest in meeting with the archmage to discuss what they could offer to help the Empire with this problem.

To this end, the City has arranged for a chamber to be available from the Hall of Worlds at '''2PM Saturday afternoon''' where these agents will present their offers. The Archmage is invited to bring themselves and no more than two aides, should they wish to hear what the agents of Prospero and Basileus Flint have to say. In addition, any of those people endangered by the brokers of the Sanguine Market - specifically '''Livia of the Spire of Celestial Cascade''', '''Lord Colwynn de Rondell''', and '''Astrid Fjellrevening Rezia di Tassato''' - are also free to attend the meeting either alongside the Archmage or in their place.

	Ephisis' emissary categorically assures Imperial citizens that the rules of the parley will be scrupulously observed; anyone attending this meeting will be safe from attempted assassination.
