	One of the side effects of the appearance of the shrouds across the Empire has been a burst of action from a [[Bands#Covens\|circle]] of [[Wintermark\|Winterfolk]] called the Augurs of the Opalescent Gloaming. Based in [[Hahnmark]], in White Owl Hall on the icy shores of the [[Hahnmark#Kronemark\|Lake Kronevann]], the Augurs are an old circle of magicians comprising practitioners of all of the main traditions of Wintermark [[Wintermark_magical_traditions\|magic]]. Their first action has been to provide the [[Imperial Seer]] with two gifts; the permanent ownership of a magical mask known as the ''[[Imperial_Seer#Custodian_of_The_Hawk.27s_Demeanour\|Hawk's Demeanour]]'', and a promise to donate two doses of ''[[Imperial_Seer#Waters_of_the_Shimmering_Shore\|Waters of the Shimmering Shore]]''.
