[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8797031, member: 7030144"] Yeah, we know approximately nothing about the fifth. I only learned of the 4th recently, after decades of playing in the world--only the three northern hemisphere continents (Drucien, Zest'qua, and Khamista) are common knowledge. ---- [Session 130, cont'd] They experiment with the sample of the clay. It can be purified by clerical magic, or by holy water (either Glordiadelian or Gunnoran), but it would take a vast quantity to purify land on a provincial or greater scale. Without purification, plants can grow, but they have a sickness and would cause bad effects on any who ate of them. Ultimately, it would kill them, which makes us very concerned for the Hanalian refugees. They make a plan for Glordiadelians or Gunnorans to work on purification, through the springs and brook heads, once the land is reconquered and made safe. Some of the Paranswarmians might be able to help, but few of their orders have the right blessings—mostly the Order of the Weeping Woman. A Gunnoran senior midwife suggests trying to bring in ents from Singing Leaves, because they can purify the land by putting down roots in it. Alistair contacts Princess Curinirim, and salutes her on the great defeat she inflicted on Quinliart’s sister, and that Canberry wishes her well in finishing her destruction in the future. Princess Curinirim is shocked to learn that she escaped. Alistair confirms that Quinliart’s sister is now in Hanal City. Talking to her chief lady in waiting in the Noldar language, who was the wife of her late husband’s late seneschal (both killed by Quinliart at the same time), she says she must have had some contingency prepared. They discuss her presence in Hanal City. They believe they must deal with her permanently, but that they dare not abandon their current project until after the Greater Festivals of the Moons—the lesser races need their protection. “Do we still have the casket?” She asks Lady Wilhemina. “We do.” “It may be worth using it, despite the risks.” [I believe that this is entirely cryptic to the PCs.] Time passes to the morning of Ke-Ras 19 Alistair and Kit plan for planting a lady-in-waiting spy in Princess Mirabelle’s retinue. We plan on picking her in advance and setting her up as Princess Mirabelle’s local lady-in-waiting during her visit. She’ll then befriend the Princess and talk about how she has no prospects in Canberry, so when she asks if she can join the Princess’s retinue, it will seem like a personal kindness, rather than us planting her. And then they’ll have a highly placed spy in the court of the Cities of the Gates. ---- Alistair also begins another Secret Project. ---- (12 days from now, a werebear comes into town, wearing a sun disk. He is Lord Davion’s recommendation for the imperial children’s bodyguard) [End Session 130] [/QUOTE]
