In accord with the agreement made, the Sumaah people undertake to provide the vaults of the two orders with ten vials of [[liao]] apiece going forward.

	Ambassador Accalon indicates that Imperial magicians are prepared to trade additional rituals as well. There is significant discussion in Sumaah about the offer to provide [[Foam and Spittle of the Furious Sea]]. Wizards of the republic are not by all accounts well-versed in large-scale curses such as this, and their mastery of [[Spring magic]] lies much more in the area of healing and support. The ritual has obvious strategic use against the Asaveans, whose military strength is tied up in their [[~~Imperial~~ navy\|navies]]. In the end, however, Oxtitocszin declines the ritual. While the House of Courage is enthusiastic about the potential of the rituals to damage Asavean ships, the Houses of Prosperity and Vigilance are both deeply concerned about the implications for virtuous citizens in the territories targeted by the curses, and the House of the People likewise worries about the impact on Sumaah traders and fisherfolk.

	[[Rivers of Life]] is interesting, but again the Sumaah decline. The ritual is powerful, and much less economically dangerous than the other Spring curse, but the House of Wisdom expresses concern about its impact on the vibrant plant and animal life of Sumaah. Given the sheer size of some of the creatures that roam Sumaah territories, such as the dire panthers that prey on the great drakes, there are lurid arguments about the potential side effects of infusing them with supernatural fertility. More significantly, as near as Sumaah wizards can tell the ritual works by pouring huge amounts of barely constrained Spring magic into an area. On balance, the Sumaah are not prepared to risk its use.		[[Rivers of Life]] is interesting, but again the Sumaah decline.

	The situation in Sumaah however mirrors that in the Empire almost exactly in that the Houses of Virtue do ''not'' recognise Amika Acciai as an exemplar, but ''do'' recognise Alberto Acciai as likely being an exemplar of Courage. The process of making someone a truly recognised exemplar is more convoluted than it is in the Empire, but the Sumaah are exploring Alberto, not Amika. The main reason is that while Amika is clearly inspired and inspirational from their commitment to their cause, Sumaah opinion is that it is the more direct, Courageous example of Alberto that will ultimately have the greatest effect on Asavea and the spreading of the Way. The direct, open action of Alberto also likely resonates well with the Sumaah's own history of overthrowing the Asavean occupation by force of arms and bold action.

The direct, open action of Alberto also likely resonates well with the Sumaah's own history of overthrowing the Asavean occupation by force of arms and bold action.

	There's no suggestion of animosity, schism, heresy or anything else here. The ~~Summah~~ do not deny that Alberto is inspirational, only that they are not recognised as an exemplar. The fact the Empire ''has'' [[386YE_Summer_Solstice_Synod_judgements#Judgement_4\|recognised Amika]], but [[386YE_Summer_Solstice_Synod_judgements#Judgement_20\|not recognised Alberto]], is seen simply as a reflection of the fact that the two nations view the Way differently. It's also clear that the Sumaah Houses of Virtue are not closing the door to Amika - they will simply wait and see how long the legacy of the firebrand leader of the rebellion lasts, and how many souls it touches. It appears that in Sumaah at least it is very rare to recognise anyone as an exemplar or paragon until at the very least a decade after their death when the true impact of their lives can be better assessed.

It appears that in Sumaah at least it is very rare to recognise anyone as an exemplar or paragon until at the very least a decade after their death when the true impact of their lives can be better assessed.

	More importantly, while Sumaah and the Empire disagree as to ''which'' Acciai is the exemplar, they both agree that the rebellion they inspired was virtuous and worthy of inspiration. As news that the two great virtuous powers have effectively endorsed the Asavean founders of the recent rebellion spreads, it will in turn draw more Asaveans and Asavean slaves to the Way. The House of Pride is in absolute agreement with the Imperial Ambassador on one thing in particular. While Sumaah would rather the people of Asavea look to Timoj than Bastion for their understanding of the Way, it is ultimately more important that they are shown the truth and given all the aid they need to cast off the twin evils of slavery and idolatry. In that, at least, the two Synods are surely in agreement.

	The House of the People, the Sumaah equivalent of the Imperial Senate, welcomes these captains. They've set aside a fund of money each season to recompense the captains, and the House of Prosperity has ensured that every captain who wishes it receives a small amount of liao to support their virtue. The ''Frieøyer'' - the descendants of those pirates [[Zemress#A_Tale_from_Sumaah\|converted by Zemress]] to the Way - have gone further. They offer berths and repairs to any Imperial ship that visits one of the many small ports that dot their island home. In the spirit of Zemress, they also share the bounties they seize from the Asaveans with those who fight alongside them. As such, a standard imperial fleet without any [[fleet#upgrade\|upgrades]] or [[enchantment\|enchantments]] that takes part in the [[~~adventure~~]] in the west will receive 96 rings, 3 doses of liao, an ingot each of Asavean [[orichalcum]], [[tempest jade]], and [[iridescent gloaming]], and two bottles of ''Frygtede øglebryg''.

Its recipe is a closely guarded secret of the ''Frieøyer'', who make great use of it when fighting on board ships, and also sees extensive use by the Sumaah armies. The name of this sweet, dark, mildly alcoholic beverage is something of a mouthful for Imperial citizens, however, who have taken to referring to it as "Oilybrag" to the amusement of the Sumaah they battle alongside.

	The [[~~Children of Asav~~#Red Sails\|Asavean attacks]] on ships trading with the Empire have had greatly reduced impact on Sumaah traders as a direct consequence of Imperial commitments in the west. It is still challenging for Sumaah vessels to reach Imperial ports however, but the House of the People and the High House of Prosperity are working together to devise a way to support trading ships without weakening the defence of their coast. Censor Oxtitocszin believes that as long as a significant force is able to support the Sumaah in their own waters - they estimate an effective fighting strength of 3000 each season - they will be able to resume full trade with the Empire (restoring at least some of the money lost to the Imperial treasury from tariffs).

	Among the six great powers, the [[Sumaah Republic]] are simultaneously rivals to, and uneasy allies of, the Empire. Their shared practice of the Way both unites them through virtue, and divides them through disagreements about how the faith should be practiced and spread. The [[Liberty Pact]], of which they are founding members, has helped strengthen their ties to the Empire, as has their involvement in direct action against those who propagate the abhorrent practice of slavery. Much of their strength at the moment is committed to war with the [[Asavean Archipelago]], but they are no less committed to spreading the Way through the entire world even with idolatrous navies at their very door.

	Ambassador Accalon indicates that Imperial magicians are prepared to trade additional rituals as well. There is significant discussion in Sumaah about the offer to provide [[Foam and Spittle of the Furious Sea]]. Wizards of the republic are not by all accounts well-versed in large-scale curses such as this, and their mastery of [[Spring magic]] lies much more in the area of healing and support. The ritual has obvious strategic use against the Asaveans, whose military strength is tied up in their [[Imperial navy\|navies]]. In the end, however, Oxtitocszin declines the ritual. While the House of Courage is enthusiastic about the potential of the rituals to damage Asavean ships, the Houses of Prosperity and Vigilance are both deeply concerned about the implications for virtuous citizens in the territories targeted by the curses, and the House of the People likewise worries about the impact on Sumaah traders and fisherfolk.

	The Sumaah have rituals that allow them to scry territories, and make use of a ritual similar to [[Drawing the Penumbral Veil]] that is apparently a little less potent but also more subtle on the rare occasions they need to shroud an area from enemy spying. What attracts interest, however, is talk of rituals that help and hinder [[spy network\|spy networks]]. As long as those rituals do not draw on the power of an [[eternal]], they would like to know more. What would the Empire want in return?

	One thing that is ''not'' available for trade at this time however is the ritual casually referred to that is a more potent version of [[Mantle of the Golden Orator]]. Censor ~~Oxitocszin~~ explains that while the Empire and Sumaah are united in the Liberty Pact, and share many articles of faith in common, the two nations are still ultimately rivals in the matter of the Way. It would be neither Wise nor Ambitious to share a tool that gives the Sumaah an edge over the Empire in the great endeavour to share the orthodox Way with the world.

	Another matter that comes up largely by accident is that Censor ~~Oxitocszin~~ mentions hearing that the Empire believes the Sumaah have a close relationship with the eternal the Empire knows as [[Yaw'nagrah]]. They wish to lay that rumour to rest if possible. The ''Green Mother'' is judged far too dangerous to deal with, given the creature's obsession with indiscriminate growth and [[spring magic#Chaos\|chaos]]. It is possible that this misunderstanding arose because there are Sumaah wizards who ''do'' have at least a distant relationship with [[Ossegrahn]], who for some centuries was practically forgotten in the Empire. The Censor of Wood and Stone is quick to remind the Empire that virtuous Sumaah are ''very'' cautious in their dealings with eternals of ''any'' realm, particularly the Spring realm, and that none would consider meeting one or their representatives without the guidance of a Präst.

	The discussion of Spring magic leads naturally into talk of the [[Children of Wrecks]]. ~~Oxitocszin~~ thanks Ambassador Accalon for warning about potential dangerous curses in Imperial waters, but suggests that a bigger impediment to trade with the Empire is the combination of the Asavean privateering and the war in the [[The_seven_seas#Sea_of_Salt\|Sea of Salt]]. As mentioned [[#above\|above]], however, as long as enough Imperial fleet captains help to balance the forces in the west, it will be easier for Sumaah merchant vessels to reach the Empire unmolested and restore at least some trade.

	The recent successful efforts of the Ambassador on behalf of the Republic, to rescue ''Präst Kauitalic'' from the pirates known as the [[Children of Wrecks]], have been praised in the House of the People and presented as another example of the way the two nations can support one another. Kauitalic is a promising up-and-coming leader in the Sumaah Republic - a galvanising spark in the ongoing struggle against Asavea - and their loss would have been a true tragedy. Ambassador Accalon has said that they have seen to it that those who treated Kauitalic after the rescue have been identified, and are properly paid, but the High House of Pride asks that the Ambassador also track down those warriors instrumental in rescuing the ''präst'' and arrange for each of them to receive either a [[dedication]] or a virtuous [[aura]] of their choice to recognise their work. If the Ambassador is prepared to do this, the Sumaah will contribute one liao for each individual. All the Ambassador need to is tell them how many people were involved and reassure them the reward has been delivered.
