One night, a spirit visited Stag's dreams, inviting him to a meeting in one of the lower levels of the palace. Not sure what to think, Stag cautiously attended the next night. A man stepped out from the shadows, his coloring marking him as an old, earth-aspect dragon-blooded. Before introducing himself, the man said, "I know what you are. Please step out of your resplendent destiny. I don't want to remember you or this conversation." Stunned, you did as he said. He introduced himself as [[Mnemon Torbun]] and then said: "Creation needs your help. The Empress is not as she seems." Stag attempted to speak, but Torbun cut him off. "You no doubt know the story of how the Empress turned back the Fair Folk after the Contagion, finding the manse buried beneath us, and the First Age weapons within. But have you ever wondered how she knew how to work them? Or how she even knew they were here? According to the story, she studied ancient texts to find out about them. In spite of this, no such texts have ever been found and even the origin of the story is questionable. After hundreds of years of trying, we now suspect that the book she read was the ''[[Broken-Winged Crane]]''." | One night, a spirit visited Stag's dreams, inviting him to a meeting in one of the lower levels of the palace.

Seeing Stag's blank stare, he elaborated: "It is a book of immense evil said to be made from shadows. Those who read it learn how to get great power, but the price is their soul.

We believe the Empress read this book in return for knowledge of the weapons that threw back the Fair Folk and even now is tainted by the corruption of the Yozis. As you may imagine, this is not something House Mnemon condones." | ||

Immediately after this event, the Empress' cruel streak surfaced strongly and often, leading Stag to suspect the Torbun's story was true. The Empress began refusing her bed and rumors circulated she began having an affair with [[Oliran Drell]], a bureaucrat who most considered an extremely competent dragon-blooded, but Stag knew was a Sidereal of Secrets. On those nights where he was allowed into the Imperial bed, Stag even began to fear for his own safety. Over the next few weeks, around sixty people mysteriously vanished from the Imperial Palace. | Immediately after this event, the Empress' cruel streak surfaced strongly and often, leading Stag to suspect the Torbun's story was true.

Not sure of what else to do, Stag knew of type of stone from his homeland that could record the dreams of a sleeping person. He managed to smuggle one into the palace and used it on the Empress as she slept. The next day he hid away and played the dreams back. Her dreams were a dizzying array of images from centuries of life: brutal war against endless hordes of Fair Folk, giving birth, sex, wielding weapons of incredible power, being cheered by tens of thousands of people, hideous monsters, a city of black steel with a green sun, the face of Chejop Kejak (the head of the Bronze Faction of the sidereals and the architect of the Immaculate Order, the Imperial religion), an endless precession of funerals. Within her dreams, plans seethed, moving the members of the Imperial houses against each other and other parts of the empire in an elaborate chess game. Under it all was an undercurrent of fear, fear that everything she built could crumble | Not sure of what else to do, Stag knew of type of stone from his homeland that could record the dreams of a sleeping person.

Stag repeated this process each night he could and gradually began to notice something else. Hidden between the cracks of these images always lurked a swirl of malevolent darkness, as if the shadows cast by all things gathered to give solid form to evil. Stag could never quite see it, but once he noticed it, he could always feel it lurking there, coiled around her soul and he knew Torbun's story was true. He planned to leave right away but as he gathered supplies for the trip, Oliran Drell entered. With a single look, Stag knew something was amiss with Drell. The green stars in his eyes glowed a sickly shade and he regarded Stag as one might look at a bug. | Stag repeated this process each night he could and gradually began to notice something else.
