	"Show me what you've got Kesiah", she said, smiling encouragement at the young steward. He nodded his head and proceeded to draw her attention to the construction of the buttress he had carefully exposed, talking through each feature in turn. She nodded a little as he talked, partly encouragement, partly to keep her focus. The shadow bobbed in to view again - a flash of red on top of the curtain wall above her - distracting her.

Their [[chapter]] was quite influential in the early years of the Empire, but by the reign of [[Empress Varkula]] their significance had begun to wane. They continued to follow their calling, however, and patiently compiled information about modern exemplars with the same dedication they had shown to gathering evidence of past inspirational figures.

	The Heirs have recently regained a small measure of prominence. In late 380YE, they completed a significant piece of work - along with the [[Tassato#The_School_of_Epistemology\|School of Epistemology]] in [[Tassato]] they recovered, collated, and published information on [[Berechiah]], an exemplar of Vigilance. Shortly after bringing Berechiah back into the public eye, they [[Death_of_a_salesman#Something_Beneficial\|approached wealthy patrons in Highguard]] in search of funds with which to continue their work. The [[benefactor\|benefactors]] of [[~~Prominent_chapters~~#Cantiarch.E2.80.99s_Hold\|Cantiarch's Hold]] and [[~~Prominent_chapters~~#Reumah.27s_Redoubt\|Reumah's Redoubt]] provided significant backing to the small [[chapter]] and since then they have been actively working with scholars in many parts of the Empire to recover lore relating to the inspirational figures of the Way that has been lost, in some cases, for centuries.
