	Priests who partake will compile a summary of various accounts in time for the Autumn Equinox (and become members of the Courage Assembly if they are not already). This report will not contain any particular action points, commissions or actions that the machinery of state might employ to dispel fear, but will instead help priests understand the dark scars in the hearts of those who suffered the cruelty of the Buruk Tepel. The hope is that it will help make them more able to provide pastoral support to those they hope to liberate.

	During the Summer Solstice, an [[arcane projection]] was performed targeting the Varushkan territory of [[Ossium]]. Wooded areas throughout the territory, especially areas of wilderness, become harder to navigate. Travellers easily find themselves becoming lost or turned around even in familiar woodlands. Odd creatures may be spotted or encountered in these woods.
