	[[Spiral]] has long been wracked by war. The territory returned to Imperial control, when [[Spiral#Overview\|Salt Lord ~~Kalliact~~]] defected to the Empire. Unfortunately that only plunged the land into further strife as [[Blue_flowers_in_the_snow#The_Rebels\|Urizeni rebels fought the decision]] to [[Powers_of_the_Imperial_Senate#Assignment\|assign]] the territory to [[the League]]. They were placated, but part of that resolution saw one group of rebels recognised as foreigners within the Empire's borders. Recently these former rebels came to [[Anvil]] in search of restored access to [[Formulaic_ritual#Imperial_Lore_and_the_Ritual_List\|Imperial lore]]. Their request was rebuffed, and they were told they would need to make a credible offer for such a prize. Now it seems that the Silver Flame seek a new future: they consider themselves the true heirs to the heritage and history of Spiral, and heirs to the Urizen dream. What shape that future will take is still to be determined however, and the attitudes of Imperial citizens cannot help but play a part in its fashioning.		[[Spiral]] has long been wracked by war.

	There is another potential use for ambrellic, however. It seems that while physicks can make use of the substance to remove scars, it is also useful to [[Surgical skills#Apothecary\|apothecaries]]. Specifically useful to those capable of brewing [[Philtres of the High Peaks]] and [[Philtres of War]]. Anyone who knows how to brew the basic potions can use ambrellic in this fashion. The resulting potions are not quite as potent as those that require [[ilium]], but the techniques for creating them are the same.		There is another potential use for ambrellic, however.

The resulting potions are not quite as potent as those that require [[ilium]], but the techniques for creating them are the same.

	* The ''Elixir of Sunlit Salt'' can be brewed by any apothecary who knows how to brew the Philtres of War. It requires three drams of [[Imperial Roseweald]], two drams each of [[True Vervain]] and [[~~Bladeroot~~]], a dram of [[~~Marrowort~~]] and three drams of ''ambrellic''. It will restore all the [[heroic skills#hero\|hero points]] of someone who [[Potion#Consuming a potion\|consumes it]].		* The ''Elixir of Sunlit Salt'' can be brewed by any apothecary who knows how to brew the Philtres of War.

It takes three drams of [[~~Bladeroot~~]], two drams each of [[Imperial Roseweald]] and [[Cerulean Mazzarine]], one dram of [[True Vervain]] and three drams of ''ambrellic''.

	These recipes rely on a supply of ambrellic, obviously. One reason they are not widely known in the Empire (or anywhere else for that matter) is the challenge presented by finding and hunting juvenile kraken. It might be feasible for the Empire to secure more persistent sources of the material, given that the Children of Wrecks introduced so many kraken larvae into the Bay of Catazar. How feasible that is and how it might be achieved is a matter for an [[appraisal]].		These recipes rely on a supply of ambrellic, obviously.

			* '''<s>Song</s> Voice of Liberty; people with an interest in the Liberty Pact'''
			The [[Liberty Pact]] was first signed five years ago this summit, as a clear signal that the Empire and its allies were taking a stand against the evils of slavery. With the burning of Chalonsio and the burning of Rachensgrab, the members of the Liberty Pact have achieved great things. Now, the Axou have called a meeting of the signatory members, this time using the Caucus Forum of [[Lashonar]].
