	'''Balbus of the Spire of Willstone''', following on from the declaration of the Conclave calling for the [[383YE_Autumn_Equinox_Conclave_sessions#Concord:_Embassies_for_Eternals\|investigation into embassies for eternals]], has called in a favour to secure a meeting with a herald of the [[Prospero\|Golden Prince]] to discuss how such a thing might work and how it could be constructed. They report that Prospero is interested in the possibilities, but they question what such an embassy might achieve. The Reckoner of Ebony and Bone can see advantages, but there are also clear risks to the ~~Realm~~ of Iron and Ash. They note however that many of the embassies that the Empire has built have serve as a hub for trade between Imperial citizens and a foreign nation. Trade is of huge value to the Golden Prince and their fellow eternals and the Prince of Ties is quick to make a counter proposal.

	The Empire could construct a ''Market of Iron and Ash'' that would enable trade with the Autumn realm. '''Balbus''', an [[architect]], has studied Prospero's proposal and believes that the market could be constructed in the region of [[Redoubt#Willstone\|Willstone]]. The market would have an expansive chamber set aside to enable direct trade with representatives from all the [[Eternal#Autumn_eternals\|Cities of Iron and Ash]]. This would allow citizens, and whoever was appointed to manage the market for the Empire, an opportunity to purchase [[vis#Warm Ashes\|warm ashes]], valuable [[vis]] that can be used to cast potent Autumn rituals.

	The only way to access the turret would be through a corridor inlaid with [[mithril]] which the Lord of the Lake would undoubtedly "enhance" with magic. The rest of the spire would be dedicated to luxurious apartments for whoever was appointed to oversee the structure, the ''Churnspire Adjutor''. The Adjutor would receive a regular gift from Meraud of 2 golden apples each season. A formal set of regalia would also be provided one each year on the anniversary of the tower's completion, the '''Tempestuous Orb''', the '''Staff of Storms''', and the '''Mask of the Geyser'''.

	The Fire Mage would continue to provide the vis and the regalia providing the tower remained intact.

	Each Pearl is taken from a cove in the Day realm, where all manner of exotic shells are found. The waters of Manush are clotted with thoughts that drift on the whispering tides. Sometimes one of these thoughts will be caught inside the flesh of one of the great clams that dwells there and as the years go by the idea is coated with ever more layers of mother of pearl. A powerful Day magician can drain the power of a pearl of Manush by invoking it while performing the ritual [[Clarity of the Master Strategist]]. The pearl provides up to five additional ranks of Day lore for the magician using it, subject to the [[Realm_Lore#Gaining_additional_ranks\|normal rules for effective skill]]. It also counts as up to ten mana crystals used by the magician that invokes the Pearl. Once used the pearl's power is spent.

	Valeria does want to make one thing explicitly clear before she will agree to allow the expansion of her citadel; the ''Pearls of Manush'' are ''only'' to be used in the Empire's war on the Druj. If the boon was used to [[enchantment\|enchant]] an army facing the [[Jotun]], or any other enemy the Empire was at war with, then the Polemarch and the other heralds would abandon their chambers. Likewise if the [[~~Imperial~~ Conclave]] were to ever pass a [[Declaration]] of [[Amity_and_enmity#Declaration_of_Enmity\|Enmity]] against Zakalwe the heralds would have no choice but to return to the realm of Day.

	Her proposal is intricate; first the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate]] or the [[Imperial Spymaster]] would need to [[commission]] a [[spy network]] in Spiral based at the spire of Oblivion's Edge. Rather than requiring a bounty of [[weirwood]] however, Sung's proposal involves making a unique set of lanterns for a special [[Urizen_culture_and_customs#The_Heliopticon\|heliopticon]] tower to be built at Oblivion's Edge, with smaller lanterns intended for use by [[cambion]] spies and scouts who would operate in the territory. The spy network would cost 10 wains of mithril, 20 crowns, and take three months to complete, and control of it must be [[Powers_of_the_Imperial_Senate#Concedence\|ceded]] to Sung's control as part of the commission.

	At the same time, '''Cato of Scarlet Guard''', the current custodian of the Night Arbour (or their representative), would raise a [[Declaration]] of [[Concord]] in the Imperial Conclave asking Sung to shroud Oblivion's Edge from all enemies and gifting the Night Arbour to her. If the Conclave agrees, then Sung will consume the Night Arbour to enfold Oblivion's Edge in an impenetrable glamour that will conceal it and its Heliopticon lamps from the eyes of enemies.

	Enfolded by Sung, and powered by the weaves of magic coalescing at the Night Arbour, the spy network would have no ''upkeep'' to the Imperial treasury.

Enfolded by Sung, and powered by the weaves of magic coalescing at the Night Arbour, the spy network would have no ''upkeep'' to the Imperial treasury. It would otherwise function as a normal spy network does except that it would not be discoverable by ''anything'' short of the direct intervention of another eternal or a very specific, very potent divination.

	The spy network - and the protective ward around the spire of Oblivion's Edge - would persist as long as Sung were not placed under [[~~Amity_and_enmity~~#~~Declaration_of_Enmity~~\|enmity]] by the Conclave. If she ''were'' made subject to enmity, the shroud would collapse along with the spy network, and the Night Arbour would remain lost.

	The Urizen National Assembly passed [[383YE_Autumn_Equinox_Synod_judgements#Judgement_24\|a mandate raised by Maximillian]] to encourage the people of Urizen to seek out opportunities to work alongside denizens of the realms. The mandate came on the back of [[383YE_Summer_Solstice_Synod_judgements#Judgement_49\|a statement or principle raised by Galene Netherwatch]] that thanked the eternal [[Adamant]] for his aid and encouraged citizens to seek virtuous cooperation with the inhabitants of the realms. Now several individuals have come forwards with offers of aid.		The Urizen National Assembly passed [[383YE_Autumn_Equinox_Synod_judgements#Judgement_24\|a mandate raised by Maximillian]] to encourage the people of Urizen to seek out opportunities to work alongside denizens of the realms.

Now several individuals have come forwards with offers of aid.

	The mandate achieved a greater majority in the Urizen Assembly which is fortuitous since otherwise opposition from the sword scholars and the Wisdom Assembly would have thwarted its intent. A similarly worded mandate raised by Galene Netherwatch in the General Assembly received massive support, but enough priests voted against rather than in favour that it failed to gain a greater majority and was thus stymied.
