	A much more... adventurous option would be to construct a [[fane]]. The Imperial Conclave directed the civil service to investigate the construction of an [[embassy]] to the Summer ~~Realm~~, but nobody was certain what such a structure might entail. After lengthy research, the nearest thing anyone can identify that might work similarly is based on an ancient design that was created by a Dawnish [[enchanter]] called Arvandor the White. Arvandor claimed to be a direct descendent of [[Dawn_monarchy\|the Swan]] and was said to be overcome by ardour for [[Cathan Canae\|the Mistress of Blizzards]]. She sought to create the ''fane'' as a way to win the Lady of the Frost's favour but she was executed for [[sorcery]] before she could gather all the materials needed.

She sought to create the ''fane'' as a way to win the Lady of the Frost's favour but she was executed for [[sorcery]] before she could gather all the materials needed.

	To construct a fane that might impress the Lion of Summer, the Empire would need to identify a suitable summer [[regio]] that would have to be ceded to Eleonaris along with the fane itself. The commission would take a single season and require 10 wains of mithril, 10 rings of [[ilium]] and 20 crowns, but once complete it would create a powerful warding that enabled heralds of the Lion of Summer to come and go as they please throughout the region it was in. The fane would grant Eleonaris the ability to build any structure she chose on that site, much like [[Llofir]] did when it established its garden in [[Reikos]].

	[[Semmerholm#The_Semmerstones\|The Semmerstones]] in Semmerholm is arguably the most famous Summer regio in the Empire. It is certainly one of the oldest and its power is said to rival that of the regio at Anvil, for the Summer realm at least. It has a long association with the Summer realm and has been a traditional meeting place for Dawnish Enchanters and emissaries of the Summer eternals for centuries. The regio is definitely not under the sway of Eleonaris, the Semmerstones are well known to be frequented by heralds in the service of many different Summer eternals.

The regio is definitely not under the sway of Eleonaris, the Semmerstones are well known to be frequented by heralds in the service of many different Summer eternals.

	However, the Commander of the Golden Armies has indicated that she would be prepared to send her armies to seize the reflection of the Semmerstones in the Summer ~~Realm~~, if the Empire were to build a fane there and cede the site to her. Such an act would please Eleonaris greatly, granting her control of one of the most prestigious and powerful Summer regios in the Empire whilst simultaneously denying her rivals access to it. Her view of the Empire would be transformed overnight, turning from wroth to joy as quickly as the sun rises. Such a positive gift would be enough to persuade her to throw her weight solely behind the Empire and to withdraw the current support she grants the Jotun.

	Of course, nothing good comes without a price. If the Empire chooses to cast in their lot with Eleonaris in this way, then it will enrage her three great rivals. [[Meraud]], [[Cathan Canae]], and [[Jaheris]] would all be furious at losing access to the Semmerstones to the Lion of Summer. It is impossible to be sure what the consequences of that would be, but none of these eternals are the kind of being to ignore such a slight. Their fury is certain to be every bit as intense as the current simmering rage of the Lion of Summer.		Of course, nothing good comes without a price.

	Because the ritual draws on the power of the Lion of Summer, it could only be created with their [[Ritual_theory#Agreement\|agreement]]. There are many [[Ritual_theory#Rituals_that_deal_with_Eternals\|such rituals in Imperial lore]], all of which require the agreement of a single eternal to function. Because these rituals draw on the power of the eternal, they come at some cost to the eternal in question. These costs are not always clear, but in the case of Knights of Glory, one cost at least is very obvious. Many of her knights that issued forth fell in the battles they fought in, never to return to serving their queen on the Fields of Glory.

	Sometimes an eternal wants Imperial magicians to cast a ritual that draws on their power, for reasons of their own. A ritual like [[Challenge the Iron Duke]] clearly requires considerable time and energy by ~~the~~ [[Barien\|the Duke]], but they appear to relish setting challenges for people. But using a ritual that draws on their power costs that eternal something so in most cases, they will expect something in return. It is always a mistake to ''assume'' that the eternal will be gratified by casting a ritual that draws on their power - it is much safer to expect there to be a price of some kind. That might be as simple as gratitude for a favour given, or respect for a friendship honoured. With some Autumn rituals like [[Before the Throne of Estavus]], the price forms part of the agreement. One thing is clear, the more powerful the ritual, the greater the debt.		Sometimes an eternal wants Imperial magicians to cast a ritual that draws on their power, for reasons of their own.

	It is important to stress that Eleonaris ''cannot'' refuse to answer the summons when Knights of Glory is cast. Provided the Empire do not break the agreements made when creating the ritual, her host ''must'' issue forth in response. What the Lion of Summer can do - what she has done - is throw a temper tantrum, refusing to talk to the Summer Archmage and issuing vague threats to lend all possible assistance to the Empire's enemies should they cast the ritual again.

	The cause of her rage this time is that the Empire has called on her aid too many times - apparently without publicly thanking her for this support. Thus, the Lion of Summer has [[Sun_green#Eleonaris\|thrown a strop]] and [[Power,_corruption,_and_lies#Eleonaris\|refused to let the Empire play with her toys]] until they make it up to her. Quite how that might be accomplished has been extraordinarily vague to date, but after some coaxing the civil service has been able to identify four ways in which she could be placated or pleased.

	A large folly built somewhere suitable would be sufficient to demonstrate that the Empire was appropriately grateful for her aid.
