===Pre-Flight===
''Setting:'' Kether Rock<br>
''Purpose:'' Focus the circle on what they want to do.<br>
''Concept:'' On the ride home, ponder the [[Forgotten Suns: Questions]]<br>
''Complications: None''
===Memories of the Dead===
''Setting:'' Chiaroscuro<br>
''Purpose:'' Extract memories of the location of Soul Mirror from the gems.<br>
''Concept:'' May possibly ask Grandmother Bright for assistance, but this is not likely. They might also find information in Wyr'palja's tomb that will help. The basic gist is that a celestial circle spell can extract the information. It's also possible that the souls in the axe could be used to extract the information. The drawback is that the axe would likely be destroyed and the dragon-blooded would certainly now remember the gem contents. A spirit involved (Bright) would be able eavesdrop on the process and know the memories as well.<br>
''Complications:'' Destroying the axe would be bad, because the lieutenant inside it is cruicial to curing the Empress.
===Return to the Manse===
''Setting:'' [[Forgotten Manse]]<br>
''Purpose:'' Reuinite group. Introduce dragon kings.<br>
''Concept:'' Fly to manse. Not sure how Jorias fits into the vehicle. Maybe Stag posesses something? From the air, they see scafolding. The sphere is weaving more than before.<br>
''Complications:'' Probably none.
===Repairing the Manse===
''Setting:'' [[Forgotten Manse]]<br>
''Purpose:'' Reset corrupted hearthstones and make repairs dramatic.<br>
''Concept:'' When manse is repaired, a wave of energy blasts the jungle away from the manse, revealing a pedestal of glass and exploding the hearthstones. This deals 8L. They will need two weeks to regenerate.<br>
''Complications:'' Probably none.
===Sylvan Crucible===
''Setting:'' [[Sylvan Crucible]]<br>
''Purpose:'' Introduce the lunars.<br>
''Concept:'' In a mix of tropical and disiduous forest, a system of marble walkways and pools wonders through the forest, with several circles of columns. Stairways often rise to nothing or descend to stone or water. Around a large central courtyard, there is also a massive feasting hall, a shrine of sorts and a defensible tower containing the hearthroom. Lots of animals, deer in particular. Some deer- or other beast-men.<br>
''Complications:'' If unannounced, reaction will be hostile.
===Meeting with Stag===
''Setting:'' [[Sylvan Crucible]], before dinner<br>
''Purpose:'' Give Stag background on one of the lunars.<br>
''Concept:'' Sulvad Tiaosa recognizes Stag by his smell. Shows himself in old identity. Curious about what happened to him. Rumors of consorting with the Empress.<br>
''Complications:'' None.
===Lunar Council===
''Setting:'' [[Sylvan Crucible]]<br>
''Purpose:'' Introduce the point of the wyld run, exposition for empress return.<br>
''Concept:'' High points:<br>
* "Come only in your true face".
* "That is his true face, lord. Or one of them, at any rate."
* The existance of [[Second Chance]], a potion that erases things, including lunar tattoos.
* Disposition of Pia.
* Suggestion of sweat lodge. Shows visions of the future. May show memories as well.
* Question as to why Guen as not called a ''tlak''.
* Revelation of Sulvad that he was brought by vision, he thought to talk with Korlysto, but more likely to the circle. Mnemon knows of a wedding to held coincident with empresses funeral. Stopping funeral may interrupt wedding. Time of funeral is a political game, as if brings questions of succession to the fore.
''Complications:'' Probably none.
===Sweat Lodge===
''Setting:'' [[Sylvan Crucible]]<br>
''Purpose:'' Expose some character secrets and drop hints about the future.<br>
''Concept:'' Circle meditates in chamber. Sees shared [[Medicine Lodge Vision]].<br>
''Complications:'' Probably none.

''Setting:'' [[Sylvan Crucible]]<br>
''Purpose:'' Figure out where to go.<br>
''Concept:'' PC consideration:<br>
* Poison Vault will recognize the Forest of Arms if it is described.
* Korlysto knows the name of [[Wyr'palja]]'s city was [[Q'in Sanizaj]].
* Korlysto will know that [[Cahlenna]] was a member of the [[Opal Court]] and the circle may be able to coerse raksha into revealing information about it.

Bezul

The ghost now known as Bezul was born over a millennia ago on a farm outside Q'in Sanizaj. He had given up farming to start his own business in in the city when the Contagion struck, followed by the fall of the city to Fair Folk. He managed to live through both and escape into the wilderness, but the Wyld energies that followed the Fair Folk soon had mutated him, turning him into a giant with a quilled tail. He survived for a few months in this state, but was eventually killed. His mutations had been so complete that he retained them in the Underworld, an oddity lost among the vast horde of Contagion victims now flooding the land of the dead. While he avoided official scrutiny in the confusion and thought to set himself up in the Underworld, the call of the Wyld was too great, and he returned to it, periodically at first, then for good. As he did so, he renounced his given name (i.e. learned Former Life Destruction Technique), taking on the name Bezul.

Over the centuries, he has taught himself what Arcanoi he could uncover, becoming a master of possession and essence manipulation. He found both of these traits useful in the Wyld, particular his ability to fill essence-containing gems. While exploring the Wyld, he has made his way by trading these gems and his ability to fill them, usually with raksha intent on visiting creation. Business in some decades has been better than others. While he is a powerful ghost, he generally needs friends to survive the Wyld, particularly the politics of raksha and spirit courts. He can usually navigate political waters well enough, but has occasionally spent decades impoverished and even spent one century captive to a raksha.

Bezul lives to explore, largely addicted to the Wyld's shifting nature and how even familiar places can be different. His experience in the Eastern Wyld makes him an invaluable guide to the area, a fact he occasionally capitalizes on. He has rescued a number of Guild caravans who got lost on a number of occasions, escorting them out of the Wyld. Bezul also has first hand knowledge of the First Age, at least from a mortal perspective, and has talked with his share of savants daring enough to enter the wyld.

As a former citizen of Q'in Sanizaj, he is well away of Wyr'palja, though she had died before he was born. He has always found it distasteful that her tomb was found by Cahlenna and used as bait for lunars, so he greeted with some joy the news that the tomb had been taken from her by the legendary unshaped Kinaniz, though he is unaware of its history and doesn't know that Cahlenna is now its captive.
