	~~TBC~~		<div style="float:right; width: 500px; clear: right;"><quote by="Cassirra Greenwell of Bleak Tower Spire">Spring is too primal to be a realm of transaction and trade. Yet some of the eternals of the green world understand the idea of reciprocity, and of symbiosis. Sometimes it is possible to secure an agreement based on this principle and it is as binding as any accord reached with an eternal of any realm. In this case, we are able to offer a handful ambergelt to an eternal and in return receive the ''vis'' that lets us perform our most potent workings.</quote></div>
			This ritual trades [[ambergelt]] to the [[eternal]] [[Ossegrahn]]; in return the magicians receive an amount of [[vis#Vital Honey\|Vital Honey]]. The [[vis]] is invaluable when performing rituals of [[Spring magic]]. ''Lord Rain'' apparently cooperated in the creation of this ritual long ago, well before the foundation of the Empire and his initial "falling out" with the [[Conclave]]. The intention was that the warm honey would be used to fuel healing magics, and to help certain isolated spires provide themselves with enough food and healing herbs to be able to survive bad winters and bouts of ill health among their people.

			While ''Brother Harvest'' has the [[alignment#enmity\|enmity]] of the Conclave, it is illegal to perform this ritual. While Ossegrahn may have "withdrawn from the Empire", however, the ritual still ''works'' however and will continue to do so unless the [[#assurance\|assurance]] is breached.

			The ritual became part of [[Urizen lore]] in 383YE alongside [[A Goblet of Stars]], [[Woven Strands of Life]], and [[A Goblet of Stars]]. All four rituals were contained in ''[[Some_heavenly_music#The_Well_of_Nine_Stars\|The Well of Nine Stars]]'', a grimoire belonging to ''Cassirra Greenwell'', a refugee from Grendel-occupied [[Spiral]]. The book was given to the founders of Fountainhome Spire in the reign of [[Empress Richilde]] and handed down from generation to generation. It contained a wealth of [[Spring magic\|Spring lore]] relating to green growing plants. The survivors of Fountainhome Spire proposed that the book be entered into lore as much to reconnect their fellow Urizeni with their pasts as to swell their understanding of the realm of Spring. Arbiter Cyrus of the [[Custodian_of_the_Bleak_Tower#The_Bleak_Tower\|Bleak Tower]] agreed, and worked with Cassirra and her fellows to arrange for the rituals contained within to be [[Some_heavenly_music#Beneath_a_Bleak_Spire\|shared]] with the rest of URizen.

			As with the other groups with rituals to propose for Urizen lore, however, ''The Well of Nine Stars'' did not come without [[Some_heavenly_music#Focusing_the_Chalice\|complications]]. As a requirement before the book can become part of Urizen lore, Cassirra Greenwell and the members of Bleak Tower wanted the then-newly formed [[Silver Chalice]] [[Conclave order]] to make a significant change to its [[Silver Chalice#Manifesto\|manifesto]]. Specifically they wanted it to officially remove the statement that it existed to "''Look into supporting long term efforts to aid the infrastructure (and foundations) of the Empire''." Both were quick to make clear that they and their spiremates bear the Order no ill-will. On the contrary, they are concerned that the Silver Chalice has erred by choosing four goals rather than the traditional three. Three is an ideal number, claims Cassirra Greenwell; more than three and the order risks becoming unfocused - especially with a goal that is so open ended as to be functionally meaningless. For the order to be truly successful it must have ''focus''. The Senate ultimately [[383YE_Winter_Solstice_Senate_sessions#Amend_manifesto_of_the_Silver_Chalice\|modified the manifesto]], and the ''Well of Nine Stars'' became part of Urizen lore shortly thereafter.
	===Performing the Ritual===		===Performing the Ritual===
	~~TBC~~		The ritual draws on the power of Ossegrahn, and so any invocation should include a reference to the eternal by at least one of his (many) common names. As with any magic associated with "trading" the container that is used to gift ambergelt to the eternal can be a useful focus for the magic of the ritual. Natural materials such as wood or cloth are preferable, and marking them with the rune [[Lann]] or an image of [[the Chain]] might both help the magic flow more easily.
