	The mandate enacted by the Varushkan assembly in Spring 385YE, urging people to [[385YE_Spring_Equinox_Synod_judgements#Judgement_146\|seek out deals with dark powers]], sent an enterprising gang of wagon raiders set out from Tolvoli to see if they could gain anything from the haunted groves around the Heart of the Tempest. They weren't fools; they took plenty of precautions and loaded themselves down with both wards and sharp axes. Of the dozen who set out, nine returned, and they would give no indication as to what happened to their three missing siblings beyond stating emphatically that it was important that no [[changeling]] ventured into the twisted, magical woods. They also came back on foot, without their wagons, but with samples of unique dark red liquor that they were able to sell for fairly large amount of money.

	It is well known that dubik feast on blood. It seems that while the dubik up near ~~Tolovi~~ prefer human blood, they are prepared to accept animal blood as long as it is fresh and steaming. The wagon raiders bought up a lot of sheep, goats, and oxen, transported them into the depths of Miekarova, and handed them over to the dubik. They say that the creatures used the blood to water a garden, and paid with unique magical potions and winter-infused thorns. Unfortunately, after only a couple of such trips, the wagon raiders had stripped ~~Tolovi~~ and the surrounding vales of every spare animal.		It is well known that dubik feast on blood.

	So they [[The_horror_and_the_wild#Heart_of_the_Tempest\|reached out]] to their neighbours, to the National Assembly that encouraged them to make contact with the dubik in the first place, and asked that a slaughterhouse and stockyard be built at ~~Tolovi~~.

	The slaughterhouse itself was [[Construct Tolvoli Slaughterhouse\|commissioned]] by the [[senator]] for Miekarova, and work quickly completed. The stockyards that surround it rarely want for cattle to be bought not only by the wagon raiders who deal with the grove but by the people of the vale as well. Trade is booming.

Money is removed from, and resources are placed into, the character's inventory when the downtime is processed.

	The grove near Tolvoli produces three different types of elixir depending on the quality and quantity of the blood provided. ''Bloodvine Liquor'' is a sweet, thick, gloopy substance that provides additional power to a magician working [[Spring magic]], provided they spill copious amounts of their own blood in the casting. A ''Blackblood Thorn'' is razor-sharp and must be thrust into the skin when performing [[Winter magic]] to provide a burst of additional power, but leaves a stinging wound that may take some time to heal completely. ''Darkwine'' is a euphemistic name for a bitter alcoholic infusion that looks like blood and smells of honey, and grants vigorous health for a time. All three are tonics.

			It is perhaps worth noting that the point of the ministry is to provide beasts that can be fed to the ''dubik'' resident at the Heart of the Tempest. If the Butcher does not operate the ministry, then a significantly smaller number of beasts are available that season. The longer such a situation persists, the more likely it is that the ''dubik'' will go looking for blood by themselves.
