Overview
The Vigilant Swan is a quarry complex in the north of Riverwatch, in the territory of Reikos. Custodianship of the Vigilant Swan grants an Imperial title; a seat on the Imperial Bourse; and a seasonal bounty of valuable white granite.
The Resource
Highborn defenders at Tabernacle. The site was guarded by a flock of white and black swans who nested on the washing ponds below the quarry's workings, it was claimed they cried out whenever intruders come near, but their presence was not enough to deter the barbarian invaders bent on claiming the whole of Reikos. The swans are gone now, and the pools drained. The stoneworks is now a massive, open-cast quarry - an open wound in the face of the earth. When they retreated from the quarry in the face of an allied Highborn and Navarr advance, the Druj slaughtered most of their defenceless slaves, completing the degradation of the Vigilant Swan by turning it into a great open grave.
- Assignment situation (was Highborn; link to Imperial Orc assignment and veto; reference current status) (The Vigilant Swan was a National Bourse position which produced white granite. Control of the Vigilant Swan was assigned to whichever Highborn candidate received the most support from Highborn owners of congregations.)
It quickly became clear that the atrocity had caused a significant haunting of the Vigilant Swan by angry, tormented spirits. No white granite could be quarried in the face of sustained assaults from supernatural entities.
