	Shortly after the Summer Solstice, a briar child delivers a message to the Conclave civil servants, ostensibly from ''Papa Otec''. Apparently, Henry Ward of Upwold has paid the price for his wickedness, but Irra Harah still wants the hearts of the other two. Anyone who slays them and cuts out their hearts, brings them to the Imperial regio, and uses [[operate portal]] to cast them through it for the ''Shackle Smasher'' to see their work will receive a boon. The child also reiterates that if all three are dead by the end of the Spring Equinox, Irra Harah will meet with the Spring [[archmage]] to discuss a boon to be granted to the Imperial Conclave.

	Likewise, it appears that ritual shrouds have been drawn over [[Necropolis]], [[Redoubt]], [[Sarvos]], and ~~(once the [[The_same_bed#Fire_in_the_Sky\|phantasmagoric displays]] in the skies have ended for the evening) over~~ [[Madruga]]. During the Summer Solstice, the Penumbral Veil was also drawn over [[Feroz]], [[Temeschwar]], and [[Morrow]]. In each of these territories, the stars are warped into a shroud that interferes with magical scrying. In each case, these shrouds have a particular resonance to them that means both territories are also prone to heavy, dark fog, and the altered stars are often hidden behind inky black clouds.

	There is on additional interesting effect; on a moonless night shortly after the Summer Solstice the stars in Morrow quiver and begin to fade. After a double-handful of minutes, however, the darkness that appears to be consuming them breaks apart and the stars return brighter than ever before. Magicians in Morrow theorise that the same magicians who have stolen the stars in the Barrens, Zenith, an Semmerholm attempted to do the same here - but that their magic was not powerful enough to overcome the veil already drawn by Urizen magicians.
