	Given that the cost to the ''Iron Forge'' to provide the work force needed to operate the fane would be considerable, if the Empire does wish to build a [[fane]] for the ''Prince of Shikal'', it is ''they'' who should be suggesting things that will make it worth the while of the ''City of Stone and Fire'' to staff such a place.

	A week after the Spring ~~Equniox~~, a figure very much like an orc but with curling ram horns very ''unlike'' those of an orc appears at the [[Regio#Imperial regio\|Imperial regio]]. Clad in flowing robes of many colours, they take a lazy and meandering route to the Hub, stopping along the way to chat with anyone who stands still for more than a moment. They are a herald of [[Azoth]], who they refer to as "''eldest and youngest''". It's been a year since the ''Crucible'' arranged a Night Market for the people of the Empire, and once again a message has been received from the Archmage of Night. This time, Azoth agrees to formal parley, to take place in the ''Hall of the Compensative Unifex'', a chamber between the eternal's domain and the mortal realm, reached via the Hall of Worlds. The Archmage is of course invited to attend and may bring another if they want, but there are three other people that Azoth specifically wishes to hear from.

	Azoth is keen to speak to the [[Advisor on the Vallorn]] on the matter of the Last Singing Stone. It is, so Azoth understands, a unique relic of a long-forgotten age. The ''Rebis'' knows of no other remaining Singing Stone anywhere in the world. There may be a way to unlock its power so that it might be of use to the Navarr nation, something that must surely be achieved before a transformation to make it "bespoke" will be relevant. Yet nothing can be changed without transformation and the Navarr pride themselves on being adaptable; it will be interesting to test how true this is. The ''Great Work'' will also receive the [[Penumbral Watcher]] who, they understand, wishes to discuss the alchemy that takes place at the [[Penumbral_Watcher#Tower_of_Light_and_Shadow\|Tower of Light and Shadow]]. Transforming the tower is a worthy ambition and Azoth has dispatched heralds to explore the location and determine how it might be changed. The Archmage is asked to bring Skywise Gralka, to talk about these intriguing ideas they have. Not knowing anything about what these ideas are in advance means Azoth will not be in a position to make any decisions or offer aid - but they are happy to hear what the Archmage of Day has to say on the matter.

	Almost immediately after the Spring Equinox, a construct of brass and porcelain in the shape of an oversized child appears at Anvil with a message from the ''Prince of Shikal''. Speaking in a disturbing off-kilter voice full of clicks and ticks, the creature indicates that rather than expend valuable time discussing matters, the ''Forgemistress'' will instead marshal her servants to visit Zenith and the Crucible of Fate, to see what improvements she may be able to suggest there. She must therefore decline the invitation to ~~parlay~~ with the Archmage of Autumn, as she is focussed on sending her servants across Urizen to see if and how they might aid in building up the nation.

	At the midpoint between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice, a herald appears at the Imperial regio; a lion-maned individual in bloodgold chain. They sound their spindly trumpet three times, and announce in a booming voice that the ''Lady of the Pennants'' sends greetings to their good friend and ally the Archmage of Summer. They regretfully inform the Archmage that they have passed his missive to the ''[[Hayaak\|Knight of the Hawks]]'' but her knight refuses all requests for ~~parlay~~ at this time. He will not meet with the Empire again until the stain upon his honour is removed. Ser Gryphon has no desire to speak with the Archmage or his lackeys until restitution is made.

	Although she currently favours the Empire, the Lady of Pennants cannot intervene in this matter. As his liege, the Sovereign in Scarlet and Gold, is obligated to respect her vassals lawful right to pursue his vengeance against the Empire given the humiliation he has suffered at their hands. She will offer him no aid in this matter, he cannot call on her armies of elfin knights. However she will not forbid him from ordering those hounds and heralds whose loyalty he still commands from entering the fray.

	Wise Rangara is minded to attend a parley with the Winter Archmage, if only because they seem to be labouring under a misapprehension. Surely if the Empire is convinced the Druj know more about herb lore than they do... they should continue to fight the Druj and take that lore for themselves? Or perhaps build a college dedicated to expanding their lore of apothecary? Or embrace a sept of orcs known for their herb lore? Why would Wise Rangara be so desperate for the friendship of the Conclave that she should buy it as if it were fresh fish from a market stall? Some eternals want it ~~certainty~~, but does the Archmage think all eternals are the ''same''?
