	The title should be appointed by Declaration of [[Candidacy]].

	They'd also receive gifts crafted by the ''Night Sword''. Something to allow them to kindle the flames of passion in others (a focus for the rituals [[Embrace the Living Flame]], [[Still Waters, Running Deep]], and [[Champions Shining Resolve]]); a sash that would allow the wearer to [[empower]] warriors with zeal on the battlefield; and bottles of liquor from the Night ~~Realm~~ that would infuse any who drank from it with a passionate spirit.

	While it is clearly empowered by the eternal, the title is similar to the [[Churnspire Adjutor]] in that it is an Imperial title. The difference is that Janon doesn't need the Senate to build anything. However, if the Empire were ever to build a [[fane]] dedicated to Janon - something he wouldn't necessarily be opposed to - he would only countenance it if the Shadowed Torchbrand were placed in charge of it (that is, it and the powers it granted would become part of this title rather than creating a new one).

	During the Autumn Equinox last year, the Imperial Conclave [[385YE_Autumn_Equinox_Conclave_sessions#Alignment_:_Ossegrahn\|recognised]] the eternal [[Ossegrahn]] as a friend of the Empire.

It's not clear whether the ''Rain King'' realised this had been done, or was simply politely waiting for the Empire to approach him. Regardless, the eternal has sent word that he desperately needs the help of his Imperial friends on a serious matter.

	It appears that the eternal has become locked in conflict with the [[Arhallogen\|Spider King]] over control of certain [[regio]] aligned with the Spring ~~Realm~~. Emboldened by recent developments, the ''Centipede General'' seeks to claim certain old sites from Ossegrahn. The eternal is capable of defending himself and his charges, and normally such an altercation would be confined to the Spring realm itself. This time, however, elements of it have spilled over into the mortal world. Specifically, some of the innocent creatures that Ossegrahn protects - things others might consider verminous boggarts - have fled the violence of Arhallogen into the Empire via old regio. Some of the soldiers of the Scorpion Queen have pursued them. Ossegrahn would like to ask for his Imperial friends to help get the creatures back where they belong.

	This message from Ossegrahn goes some way to providing context for recent events. About a week ago, there were sightings of peculiar creatures in [[Weirwater]] (near an old spring in [[Weirwater#Wickmoor\|Wickmoor]], in [[Upwold#Birchland\|Birchland]] not far from the border with [[Miaren]], and in [[Hercynia#Summersend\|Summersend]] in [[Hercynia]]. The creatures appear to be harmless - roughly shaped humanoids with odd animal features - and flee when any human or orc gets too close. At the same time, though, there are reports of monstrous insect-creatures hunting and killing them. At first the fear was that this was some hitherto unknown manifestation of the [[vallorn]], but it now appears that there is another cause. Conjunctions of the Sentinel Gate have been identified to three locations near these boggarts and heralds, opening on Saturday evening.

	Last season the Conclave also declared a number of individuals to be [[sorcery\|sorcerers]]. Several years ago, she offered a [[Scholars_and_mandarins#A_Gift_of_Revelation\|Gift of Revelation]] to the Imperial Conclave, an [[arcane projection]] that drew on her power to examine the wisps of magical residue that cling to a magician for a short time after they perform ritual magic. Using [[day magic]], it would divine if a specific target or targets had performed a named ritual during the past three days. Her intention was that it could be used to track down sorcerers who have broken their restriction against performing ritual magic, as well as [[coven\|covens]] who have chosen to perform illegal rituals. It has other obvious investigatory applications as well. She expected the arcane projection to be codified at a [[college of Magic\|college of magic]], and [[Formulaic_ritual#Imperial_Lore_and_the_Ritual_List\|made available]] to any Imperial magician who wishes to perform it. That didn't happen - possibly because it was endowed on ''Octavius, Provost of the Halls of Knowledge'', and not long after that the [[Morrow#The_Halls_of_Knowledge_(ruined)\|Halls of Knowledge]] were destroyed.

	Given the obvious increased interest among the Imperial Conclave in remaining alert for magicians misusing their magic, Roshanwe offers her boon again. This time, however, she will provide an actual [[Formulaic_ritual#Ritual_Texts\|ritual text]] rather than an arcane projection. ''The Netweaver's Eye'' works just as the arcane projection she originally proposed, but is ready to be entered into Imperial lore if they wish. It has an assurance: it loses all power if the [[Sevenfold Path]] ever abandon their order's goal of building "''a bridge between the Conclave and the priests of the Synod''."

	There is a price however, but one she supposes the Empire would be happy to pay. She asks to be released from her agreement to support [[Combing the Beach]]. If that is done, she will provide the ritual text to whichever member of the Conclave raises the declaration - either the Archmage of Day using a declaration of Alignment to restate her position of neutrality, and accept her offer, or a Declaration of Concord be passed to the same effect. Combing the Beach would become useless, but the new ritual text would be provided at the following Conclave session, whenever that was.

	It appears that the eternal has become locked in conflict with the [[Arhallogen\|Spider King]] over control of certain [[regio]] aligned with the Spring Realm. Emboldened by recent developments, the ''Centipede General'' seeks to claim certain old sites from Ossegrahn. The eternal is capable of defending himself and his charges, and normally such an altercation would be confined to the Spring realm itself. This time, however, elements of it have spilled over into the mortal world. Specifically, some of the innocent creatures that Ossegrahn protects - things others might consider verminous boggarts - have ~~fed~~ the violence of Arhallogen into the Empire via old regio. Some of the soldiers of the Scorpion Queen have pursued them. Ossegrahn would like to ask for his Imperial friends to help get the creatures back where they belong.

	This message from Ossegrahn goes some way to providing context for recent events. About a week ago, there were sightings of peculiar creatures in [[Weirwater]] (near an old spring in [[Weirwater#Wickmoor\|Wickmoor]], in [[Upwold#Birchland\|Birchland]] not far from the border with [[Miaren]], and in [[Hercynia#Summersend\|Summersend]] in [[Hercynia]]. The creatures appear to be harmless - roughly shaped humanoids with odd animal features - and flee when any human or orc gets too close. At the same time, though, there are reports of monstrous insect-creatures hunting and killing them. At first the fear was that this was some hitherto unknown manifestation of the [[vallorn]], but it now appears that there is another cause. Conjunctions of the Sentinel Gate have been identified to three locations near these boggarts and heralds, opening on Saturday evening.

	Ossegrahn plans to send one of his heralds responsible for tending to these relatively harmless little boggarts to the Empire at eight in the evening on Friday. He's asked that the [[Keeper of the Golden Fields]], and the [[Granger of the Golden Orchard]], those who plan to stand for the position of [[Knight-protector\|Knight-protector of Spring]], meet his emissary at the [[Regio#Imperial Regio\|Imperial regio]] at Anvil so he can explain the situation. Ideally, he would like his Imperial friends to get the poor creatures protected from Arhallogen's warriors and sent back through the regio they emerged from. Before they get too used to the mortal realm and...cause any problems. In light of this, the civil service has given these positions the responsibility to arrange the accompanying conjunctions.

	The [[eternal]] [[Roshanwe]] is always fascinated by the search for truth. She considers the journey as important, if not more important, than the destination. At the moment, she sponsors a ritual in [[Formulaic_ritual#Imperial_Lore_and_the_Ritual_List\|Imperial lore]] called [[Combing the Beach]] that allows her to offer some support to truth-seekers in the Empire. However, she's always looking for new perspectives and new ways to encourage those questing for understanding. During the Winter Solstice, however, '''Skywise Gralka''', [[Archmage of Day]], [[385YE_Winter_Solstice_Conclave_sessions#Alignment:_Roshanwe\|proposed]] that her [[alignment]] to the Empire suited [[Alignment#Neutrality\|neutrality]] rather than [[Alignment#Amity\|amity]]. The eternal is not angry in any way, just interested in this decision and has apparently spent some time considering the situation.

	Last season the Conclave also declared a number of individuals to be [[sorcery\|sorcerers]]. Several years ago, she offered a [[Scholars_and_mandarins#A_Gift_of_Revelation\|Gift of Revelation]] to the Imperial Conclave, an [[arcane projection]] that drew on her power to examine the wisps of magical residue that cling to a magician for a short time after they perform ritual magic. Using [[day magic]], it would divine if a specific target or targets had performed a named ritual during the past three days. Her intention was that it could be used to track down ~~sorcerors~~ who have broken their restriction against performing ritual magic, as well as [[coven\|covens]] who have chosen to perform illegal rituals. It has other obvious investigatory applications as well. She expected the arcane projection to be codified at a [[college of Magic\|college of magic]], and [[Formulaic_ritual#Imperial_Lore_and_the_Ritual_List\|made available]] to any Imperial magician who wishes to perform it. That didn't happen - possibly because it was endowed on ''Octavius, Provost of the Halls of Knowledge'', and not long after that the [[Morrow#The_Halls_of_Knowledge_(ruined)\|Halls of Knowledge]] were destroyed.

	Given the obvious increased interest among the Imperial Conclave in remaining alert for magicians misusing their magic, Roshanwe offers her boon again. This time, however, she will provide an actual [[Formulaic_ritual#Ritual_Texts\|ritual text]] rather than an arcane projection. ''The Netweaver's Eye'' works just as the arcane projection she originally proposed, but is ready to be entered into Imperial lore if they wish.

	The effect of the ritual will now change, until he chooses to apply himself again. Instead of providing its protection across an entire territory, it'll only protect the region it is cast on. The creatures of the Night realm and additional wards of confusion and misdirection he's used in the past will no longer be part of the ritual enchantment. The ward will provide its full effect if an enemy force attacks the region (4,000 effective force to defend the region and inflicts casualties). It will not however count as a fortification for purposes of removing the undefended territory bonus an attacker receives, nor make it harder for them to seize regions that are not directly protected. Strategic use of the ritual will be needed going forward.		The effect of the ritual will now change, until he chooses to apply himself again.
