	While she is somewhat singleminded, she is still an eternal of Autumn. She is fascinated by, and well versed in, the ways that crafters can exert power. Being able to make something for someone else is potentially an incredible source of influence. The rarer the things a crafter can craft, the more power they wield. She supports and encourages the formation of artisan guilds that create monopolies to protect their interests and influence their fellows, and she is known to have a special interest in [[The League\|League]] [[Guild\|carta]], [[Dawn\|Dawnish]] [[weaver cabal\|weaver cabals]], and both [[The Marches\|Marcher]] and [[Wintermark\|Winterfolk]] smiths. She is said to have a great deal of interest in the guilds of the [[Sarcophan Delves]].		While she is somewhat singleminded, she is still an eternal of Autumn.

	It is almost unknown for Estavus to respond in person to a [[Archmage#Plenipotentiary\|plenipotentiary]] missive from the [[Archmage of Autumn]]. Sometimes she will dispatch a favoured lieutenant, if the matter requires direct negotiation. More often, she seems to take plenipotentiaries as invitations to perform work - meaning she is likely to simply send some [[Inhabitants of the realms#Heralds\|heralds]] to assess a situation and put forward a proposal for how she might use her assets to deal with that situation. This is commonly seen in response to requests to offer her aid in building projects such as [[Spiral#Curstag's_Way\|Curstag's Way]] or the Crucible of Fate, for example. Even if heralds are dispatched, they are usually members of one of the guilds that make up the population of the ''City of Fire and Stone'' ~~that~~ creatures who report directly to the ''Mistress of the Fire Mountain''.
