He is being brought to Anvil to face trial and presumably execution at the Winter Solstice as an unrepentant member of the Disciples of Sulemaine.

	Despite his membership of the recently outlawed order, the Synod are yet to pass judgement on whether he has committed any crimes against the faith. [[385YE_Summer_Solstice_Synod_judgements#Judgement_87\|Aspar's request]] for a [[Writ of Excommunication]] received heavy support, but did not get the legally required greater majority. In some ways the timing of his arrival at Anvil is poor, since it coincides with the release of new guidance for magistrates on how to apply Imperial law when prosecuting a [[religious crime]]. Given the circumstances, the magistrates have indicated that they will make Severus available to the Synod for inquisition, should they wish to do so, before the trial is conducted.

			Severus has consented to face an inquisition by the National Assembly if any priest is brave enough to challenge him. The only condition is that it must be the raising priest, and only the raising priest that he will engage with. It must be a true duel.

They bear a message following the [[declaration]] of [[concord]] of the Grandmaster of the [[Sevenfold Path]]. Apparently, the ''[[Jaheris\|Arbiter of the Ardent Spire]]'' is keen to help '''Elagabala''' hunt down the members of her former 'lawless sect whose philosophy promotes silence, shame, and inaction' and is willing to share the location of one such group who are attempting to flee across the border of [[Spiral]] into [[Mareave]] where they may be able to get lost in the rocky hills of this new Imperial land. The ''Silverbrow'' does not ask for any formalities such as a declaration of [[Alignment#Acceptance\|acceptance]], any payment or anything so transactional and gauche as that; they merely wish to continue improving their relationship with the magicians of the Conclave by helping out where they can. That said, a token of the Grandmaster's gratitude the next time they receive a plenipotentiary from the Archmage of Summer wouldn't go amiss, of course.

	Finally, there have been reports from sharp-eyed sentinels in [[Morrow]] of a band of Disciples who are said to be in possession of a rare errant dose of [[Liao#True_Liao\|true liao]]. They appear to be making their way towards [[Morrow#Highwatch\|Highwatch]], but the conjunction found by prognosticators opens in their path. What's most concerning is that they might be intending to use the dose of true liao to create a permanent aura of the malign force of Purity there, the site where Urizen committed to the Empire over three centuries ago. The effects of such a thing are impossible to predict, but at the worst, it could send shockwaves through the very bones of the nation.
