	Rosamund Holt, Archmage of Spring, has contacted the Green Mother, [[Yaw'nagrah]]. During the Winter Solstice, Yaw'nagrah was [[declaration\|declared]] an [[Amity_and_enmity#Enmity\|enemy]] of the Empire by the [[~~Imperial~~ Conclave]], and it seems the Archmage has called on it to face charges of interfering with Imperial affairs. It is not illegal for an archmage to use the power of plenipotentiary to send a missive to an eternal who is under enmity, although it is possible that the contents of such a missive might constitute a crime - and any resulting parley is likely to be carefully observed.

	A month before the Spring equinox, two heralds of Yaw'nagrah - walking tree creatures with creaking woody voices - deliver a curt message that the Green Mother will send her Voice to a formal parley in the Hall of Worlds. The creatures seem to have limited understanding of time, but the civil service are able to confirm that the meeting will take place at two-o-clock in the afternoon on Saturday, and will make arrangements to offer support to the Archmage of Spring.
