Despite their lack of formal Imperial backing, this mercenary sodality still manages to maintain a comfortable ~~existance~~ on the margins of the Empire. They specialise in bringing cash-strapped heroes together with rich patrons with problems to solve, taking a percentage of the money offered for serving as middle-men.

	During the coming summit their current leader Master Aryton Scalmere in Anvil looking to do business. He has boldly staked a claim to a prime spot in the marketplace, opposite the Hub and it is likely he will have a handful of highly dangerous, poorly paid contracts that need fulfilling by people whose thirst for violence and risky activities outstrips their common sense.

	The influence of a constellation is difficult to quantify or explain to anyone – even magicians – who has not made a study of astronomancy. Do the stars move events in the mortal world, or do events in the mortal world cause the stars to move? Each astronomancer thinks they know the answer, but it is impossible to prove either way.

	What they can agree on is that events will tend to turn towards the fundamental rule presented by the conjunction. The ~~Seninel~~ Gate will tend to open more readily to certain places rather than others; the influence of the stars will be felt a little more strongly on certain forms of hearth and ritual magic.

	Before we did Winds of Fortune, we did the occasional post on social media that "foreshadowed" things happening during the upcoming event. These four mini-Winds of Fortune were among the first such posts we ever did. They are very primitive compared to later winds of fortune, but for the sake of completeness we've created this page and copied the text across from the original posts.

 ==The Masquerade of the Reaper==
 In ancient times past it is said that at as winter reached its heights the Reaper would visit the land bringing both death and renewal. In the cities it became common place to wear masks in order to seek to avoid unwanted attention and from these traditions was born the festival which the League is once more reviving, [[the Masquerade of the Reaper]].
