Forgotten Suns Notes

Next steps:

• Item adjustments. Some stuff left back in Manse.
• Gossamer stuff degrades, including wagon.
• Memory Sapphires Vision
• Note from Bezul, suggesting business proposition: essence containing gems for artifacts of similar power level. Or, refills of two levels lower.
• Possible note from Hammer in the Woods, asking for assistance: Maduka finally lost it and needs to be taken out, but need to frame the other camp. Asking solars to do the dirty work and possibly take blame.
• Plot exposition from Adrios' essence trip. Blue cunaria in two places: a field on the grounds of the palace of the Maiden of Endings, and somewhere within the Violet Bier of Sorrows. Edict prevents it from growing elsewhere. By now, few have heard of it. Finds out possible allies who might be willing to get it: Lytek, god of exaltation, who hates the deathlords. Nara-O, head of the Forbidding Manse of Ivy, who would be interested in the process. Both would ask for serious favors in return. Lytek would probably be more discrete.
