As such it is understandable that when a herald wrapped in a robe of white feathers appears in the Hall of Worlds claiming to speak on behalf of Ylenrith, there is some consternation.

The message is quite straightforward; it has been some time since Ylenrith has spoken with an Imperial magician, and she requests that at some point in the coming year the Archmage of Day consider extending an offer of parley to her. The herald does not expand on this request, but shortly before departing the Hall of Worlds mentions that they advise the Archmage to speak to their mistress "''before agreeing to meet with any unfamiliar eternals of the ~~Realm~~ of Day that might attempt to make contact in the coming months''."

	The eternal [[Zakalwe]] is by all accounts pleased with his relationship with the Empire. He has assisted Imperial heroes against the Druj, and continues to watch their efforts on both the eastern and western fronts with interest. During the Winter Solstice, he will be sending his trusted lieutenant, ''Agon'' to Dawn to present an invitation to warriors and strategists there. At the Spring Equinox, Agon will oversee a game of strategy, if Dawn is interested. Zakalwe has sponsored such games before, combining elements of board game with historical recreation of past military campaigns. This time, the historical conflict he wishes to explore will be inspired by the final battles of [[Empress Brannan]] and her failed attempt to conquer [[the Barrens]]. Obviously, rather than a strict historical recreation, the game will involve some abstraction. Zakalwe is eager to see what modern Dawnish strategists would make of a campaign involving some of the challenges Brannan and her supporters faced in 257YE.

	Once the Suranni reach the Empire, they will need help to start new lives without interference from the Iron Confederacy. The [[Senate]] has [[Ratify Dumonist Treaty\|ratified a treaty]] with the Iron Confederacy that instructs the magistrates to ''co-operate with the Suranni templars in tracking down members of the Hand of Dumon,'' and Sadogua fears that this will discourage Suranni wizards from seeing the Empire as a safe haven. He also believes the Suranni lawkeepers will treat ''any'' magician who flees the Iron Confederacy as tantamount to a member of the Hand. He has requested that either the [[Celestial Arch]] or the [[Shuttered Lantern]] use a suitably worded [[declaration]] of [[Concord]] urging their members to help magicians seeking new lives in the Empire to find safe homes far outside the reach of the Suranni. Ideally in [[Varushka]], or [[Wintermark]], or among the peripatetic [[Navarr]]. Knowing that they are going to meet fellow magicians, who will help protect them, will encourage some of the more frightened or conservative magicians and their families to risk expending their personal reserves of power and wealth in attempting the long trek to the Empire - Sadogua believes it will reduce the amount of mana required for a successful project by 25 crystals.

	There are of course already Imperial titles with an interest in helping refugees start a new life in the Empire - the [[Hand of Guerra]] for example - and the ''Toad King'' is too politic to say anything about them directly.

	Apparently the attendants of the [[Phaleron\|Great Library]] are deeply uncomfortable with these rituals and their presence among Urizen lore, more due to their illegal nature than any sentimental concerns about their origin. They were apparently all submitted at the same time as Treacher's Quill, but Phaleron itself intervened to delay their appearance in lore while it pondered how best to respond. In the end they have decided to do the only thing they can; present the rituals to the Urizen as part of their lore as agreed when Urizen lore was created. The Celestial Library does not enjoy causing trouble for its Urizeni allies, but the [[Gift of Knowledge]] is available to every Imperial citizen; it cannot pick and choose who can contribute rituals via the ritual. If it is any consolation, there appear to be no further rituals waiting to enter Urizen lore relating to the Black Drop.

They were apparently all submitted at the same time as Treacher's Quill, but Phaleron itself intervened to delay their appearance in lore while it pondered how best to respond. In the end they have decided to do the only thing they can; present the rituals to the Urizen as part of their lore as agreed when Urizen lore was created. The Celestial Library does not enjoy causing trouble for its Urizeni allies, but the [[Gift of Knowledge]] is available to every Imperial citizen; it cannot pick and choose who can contribute rituals via the ritual. If it is any consolation, there appear to be no further rituals waiting to enter Urizen lore relating to the Black Drop.

	On the subject of the Black Drop: the body of ''Jodeya Watiker di Tassato Mestra'', believed to be the last remaining member of the Childer of the Black Drop, has been found in "The Gecko's Nest" a shithole of a parador in [[Kahraman#Jade Range\|the Jade Range]], Kahraman. She died during the Autumn Equinox during or immediately after a meeting with three strangers - none of them Freeborn. The night barman was present for part of the meeting but did not hear what was discussed; Jodeya dismissed him and when he returned half an hour later she was dead. He reports that the visitors were a mixed assortment - a Marcher, a Navarr, and an Urizeni, although the barman believes the Marcher left before he did~~. There's no way to say if they returned or not, unfortunately~~.

	It seems the killers came via the [[Sentinel Gate]] from Anvil and left the same way. The death was reported to the magistrates at Anvil who dealt with it accordingly. A sorry end to a sorry tale but hopefully it closes the page on this chapter in the Empire's history.		It seems the killers came via the [[Sentinel Gate]] from Anvil and left the same way.
