	Like all such magic, however, its influence is entirely indiscriminate and unpredictable. As well as helping Imperial citizens to make contact with local inhabitants, it also hinders efforts to strengthen the Imperial hold over Mareave. People hostile or resistant to the Imperial Orcs presence find it as easy to meet each other as - say - [[#Black Sand Circle\|Autumn magicians in the inns of Beoraidh]].

	The Tamazi plan is to build the fortified embassy at the base of the mountains, and then have the Senator for Mareave (currently '''Gaddak''') send a [[Call Winged Messenger\|Winged Messenger]] to Skora to politely ask if they would like to trade with their neighbours - not as representatives of the Empire but as the Imperial Orcs nation. The Tamazi are confident that the Skourans will consider the proposal, and, at the very least, agree to establish a trade ministry in Eoradal. From this start, the Empire would be better positioned to build stronger trade ties - and all thanks to the Imperial Orcs.

	The ''other'' reason the Tamazi propose their version of a ''diplomatenschloss'' is the ~~existance~~ of the ruined aqueduct in Eoradal. Their examination of the structure indicates that if it were rebuilt, and with the cooperation of the Skourans who live in the mountains above Mareave, it might be the answer to at least some of the problems Mareave has getting access to fresh water - and the Tamazi are excited at the prospect of such a significant and impactful construction for obvious reasons.

	''Mazzar Tulk'' is a Golden Pyramid [[orc]] and a member of the [[Yerende]] sept and her family are in the process of moving to Mareave. In answering the grandmaster's call she has used the opportunity to explore the territory to find the perfect place to settle. In the process has been talking to some of the local orcs - those who don't have any particular reason to be [[Set_my_lands_in_order#Uncooperative\|uncooperative]]. Following discussion she has become aware of the ''Lazuline Bowl'' - a depression in central Nadir, sheltered from the harsh winds and positioned over a deep aquifer, presenting ideal conditions to cultivate valuable cerulean mazzarine. There are already several families of Broken Shore orcs based around the Bowl, growing their own herbs. With the aid of her order, she has negotiated with the orcs to support the establishment of a garden on her own dedicated to producing the valuable herb, promising that the nearby families will share in her prosperity.

	By building a garden in the Lazuline Bowl, the Imperial Orcs could establish the title of ''Lazline Bonetender''. ''Mazzar Tulk'' suggests that the title be charged with helping supply orc apothecaries and physicks, and expanding access to herbs in Mareave. They would receive a [[sinecure\|bounty of cerulean mazzarine]], and be able to [[ministry\|purchase even more]] from the Nadiri orcs whose cheerful self interest does not disincline them to deal with the Empire.

	The Black Sand Circle is keen to acquire a [[ritual text]] of the ritual the Empire calls [[Gift of the Wily Broker]]. In the break-up with the Circle of Black Sand, ''Manuun'' and his faction have retained custody of the covens arcane library. If the Imperial Conclave will use a [[declaration]] of [[dissemination]] to provide the ritual text they seek, they will hand over a ritual text to the magician who raised the successful declaration. There are two ritual they are prepared to share, both examples of [[Autumn magic\|Sand wizardry]]. The first is ''Sigil of the White Sands'', an [[enchantment]] that allows a [[fleet]] to secure lucrative deals when they [[Fleet#Trade\|trade]] with foreign ports. The second ritual, the ''Eye of Ruby and Sapphire'' enchants a [[mine]] so that the workers can more easily locate valuable deposits of precious gems, causing it to produce a great deal of money and a small amount of additional [[tempest jade]] over the season. The declaration will need to specify which of the two rituals the magician wants in return, and the Circle does not care what happens to it after it is handed over. It might go into Imperial lore, into Urizen lore, or remain the unique property of whoever secures it (the latter being what ''Manuun'' assumes will happen to it).

There are two ritual they are prepared to share, both examples of [[Autumn magic\|Sand wizardry]]. The first is ''Sigil of the White Sands'', an [[enchantment]] that allows a [[fleet]] to secure lucrative deals when they [[Fleet#Trade\|trade]] with foreign ports. The second ritual, the ''Eye of Ruby and Sapphire'' enchants a [[mine]] so that the workers can more easily locate valuable deposits of precious gems, causing it to produce a great deal of money and a small amount of additional [[tempest jade]] over the season. The declaration will need to specify which of the two rituals the magician wants in return, and the Circle does not care what happens to it after it is handed over. It might go into Imperial lore, into Urizen lore, or remain the unique property of whoever secures it (the latter being what ''Manuun'' assumes will happen to it).
