	The Grandmaster of the Golden Pyramid - currently '''Arsenio Sanguineo Rezia di Tassato''' but the title is up for re-election during the Spring Equinox - can choose up to eight artisans to gain the benefit of this study. Each will be able to master the creation of one of the ''War rings'' used by Commonwealth magicians. The ''Iron War Ring'' empowers Autumn rituals; the ''Golden War Ring'' empowers Summer rituals; the ''Bleachbone War Ring'' empowers Winter magic; the ''Sungold War Ring'' empowers Day rituals; the ''Oakamber War Ring'' empowers Spring rituals; and the ''Moongold War Ring'', which is the least often created of the set, empowers Night rituals. In each case, they are [[:Category:Foci\|foci]] that can be used to empower a ritual once each day with a 1 rank bonus, subject to the [[Magical_skills#Gaining_additional_ranks\|normal rules for effective skill]]. What these artisans do with this lore is up to them. Each artisan is free to decide which of the ring schema to study.

	Furthermore, if the Golden Pyramid order is prepared to continue to offer their aid in the Commonwealth, in the fight against Cold Sun, the ''Kriegschmide'' are prepared to create a copy of one of the war rings and gift it to the Grandmaster. They'll do this as long as the order remains committed to the fight until Cold Sun is defeated, or until the start of the Winter Solstice 388YE.		Furthermore, if the Golden Pyramid order is prepared to continue to offer their aid in the Commonwealth, in the fight against Cold Sun, the ''Kriegschmide'' are prepared to create a copy of the schema of one of the war rings and gift it to the Grandmaster. They'll do this so long as the order remains committed to the fight until Cold Sun is defeated, or until the start of the Winter Solstice 388YE.

	'''OOC Note:''' After the Spring Equinox, the Grandmaster of the Golden Pyramid can send a list of up to eight characters with the artisan skill to {{plot}}, before downtime closes. They'll need to include the name, CID, and the chosen ring that the character wants to learn. As long as that character has an empty item slot (such as through the purchase of an [[Crafting skills#Extra Item\|Extra item]]) then they will gain the knowledge of how to make the appropriate ring. Each costs around 18 ingots and measures to create and takes one month, with the exact ingots varying by the ring chosen. They won't be able to make a ring this downtime, but each named character will be given a ribbon for the ring they learned in their pack as an "apprentice piece" created during the trip.

	The rest of the Shuttered Lantern, are able to take advantage of the cover their colleagues provide to avoid scrutiny. During the fight against Cold Sun there are opportunities to slip away and engage in investigations on the battlefield, and in the Jarmish settlements near the front line. A few magicians even manage to subvert their "guards" and pump them for information. Over the course of several weeks, the adept information gatherers of the Shuttered Lantern begin to put together a picture of the incursion in Lantir, and the events of the days leading up to it, with the Jarmish largely none-the-wiser to the full extent of their operation.

	A summary of these findings will be presented to the Grandmaster of the Shuttered Lantern at the Spring Equinox. For the moment, members of the Order remain engaged in Jarm and will continue to support the fight against Cold Sun until they are directed elsewhere by the Conclave, or until the eternal's forces are driven out of the mortal realm. This costs no additional mana, and puts them in a position to potentially be able to enact a stratagem if the Grandmaster uses another [[guide the orders]] declaration to instruct them how to proceed.

	Lord-Magister Trescher's greeting to the new Imperial ambassador, Thaumiel of Steeplechase Toll, is a little perfunctory. Not rude, just short. It is clear that like many high-ranking Jarmish citizens, the Lord-Magister's focus is on [[Cold war\|the disaster]] unfolding along their southern borders. There is some brief discussion of trade with the [[When_peace_was_far_away#Free_Port\|"free" port of Radosmo]]; the House of Princes continue to be pleased with the way Imperial traders are behaving and are not planning to use their influence to encourage Zemelslo to close its docks for the time being.

	A note of amusement, tinged with grudging respect, creeps in when Anton speaks of [[Asavean Archipelago\|Asavean]] aid. As Ambassador Thaumiel might imagine, the Asaveans find themselves unable to offer significant aid against Cold Sun due to their engagements elsewhere. The Plenum has sent words of support, and reassured the House of Princes that they have instructed some of their magicians to research the problem and provide news of their findings. They have also suggested that Cold Sun itself might be related to the Imperial nation of Dawn, and perhaps the Jarmish might wish to interrogate the Empire on that matter. Thaumiel need not fear - there will be no issue with ensuring Imperial magicians are able to avoid Asaveans during their time in southern Jarm.

	The [[Golden Pyramid]] are first and foremost concerned with the prosperity of the Empire's magicians, but they are also experts at deploying magical resources effectively. This expertise is surprisingly valuable in the Commonwealth; their magical resources are more limited than those of the Empire and while they are by no means ignorant of the best ways to use battlefield magic the generals can overlook less directly martial applications of some enchantments and [[magic items]]. The Pyramid offers their aid to the Commonwealth quartermasters and ''zauberer'' with one eye on the future. Their presence is not uncontroversial - the insistence of their members that "everyone involved is well paid for taking the dangerous trip east" raised the requirements in crystal mana for ''all'' the orders sent to the east at the Winter Solstice.

	The advice of '''Lofyn Bloodcloak''', ~~[[General]] and~~ Imperial strategist during the Coldsun War, is appreciated. The Commonwealth had broadly settled on similar strategies, but the words of the ~~general~~ make them more confident in their own approach to the ''scions''. In particular, the warning that the servants of Oblivion will target places of art and philosophy first allows for a quick reprioritisation of the Commonwealth's defensive strategies. The guidance on the observed capabilities of the armies that invaded the Empire - especially their peculiar abilities to travel and ravage the land - also proves helpful.

	Most useful of all, however, is the assistance offered by the [[Highguard\|Highborn]] army, the Granite Pillar. A number of officers and veterans of the fight against the ''scions'' make the journey to the Commonwealth where they are greeted and immediately brought to share their knowledge with the generals of the armies engaged along the border. Exhausting hours of interrogation, spirited discussion, and moving little ivory figures around on maps of the borderlands between Commonwealth and Lantir lead to a consolidation of Imperial experience and Commonwealth military acumen. As significant as the pure strategic impact is, there is also discussion of wider philosophical and political matters after the gruelling military meetings. Arguments about the role of the Liberty Pact, the value of spiritual auras, the meaning of liberty and free will, the concept of the Greater Good.

The actual generals, however, who have worked with the Granite Pillar soldiers in preparing their strategies make a less formal but perhaps more heartfelt gift. When the emissaries return from the Commonwealth to rejoin their army they bring with them a crate of Commonwealth ''[[Trade_goods#Soldier's_Booze\|Soldatentrunk]]''. This mildly alcoholic tonic is very popular with Commonwealth soldiers, acting as both a powerful healing potion and an antidote to many forms of venom. It is only the first instalment of the shipment; as long as the Empire and the Commonwealth remain friends, the General of the Granite Pillar will receive five bottles of Soldier's Booze each season, one from each of the five Commonwealth provinces closest to Lantir; a gift of recognition between fighting folk.

	Unfortunately, the fact Imperial ships very clearly ''are'' trading with the [[My_passions_from_a_common_spring#Free_Ports_And_Free_People\|tiny nation of Zemelslo]] has not gone unremarked in the wider Commonwealth. The little island nation is seen as being Jarm in all but name, and as such merchants and guilds who otherwise have welcomed Imperial ship captains enthusiastically are turning a little cold. There are questions about the Empire's decision to trade with the Principalities, and few are convinced by the polite fiction that it is not ''really'' Jarm they are trading with. As such, following the Spring Equinox, Imperial [[fleet\|fleets]] trading with [[Foreign_ports#Volkavaar\|Volkavaar]] and [[Foreign_ports#Leerdam\|Leerdam]] will have a -1 penalty to their effective rank for purposes of the goods they can secure. This penalty will persist for at least as long as the Empire's merchants are trading with Radomso while simultaneously claiming to have embargoed trade with the Principalities.
