Master Storyteller Syzygium Clove
Diplomacy: 5 – Military: 1 – Industry: 1 – Faith: 5 – Intrigue: 1
Capital: The Greywood Coast (415) – Round 8
Actions:
1. Diplomacy 5 – Form a Cultural Identity for resisting Theft, Hidden Hollows.
The woods are labyrinthine to those who do not know their hidden trails. A Sypressan who wishes to hide a technological tool, magical relic, or precious gemstone has the choice of a myriad of obscure hiding locations to squirrel it away.
2. Diplomacy – Learn the language and customs of Y'licis. [1/5]
A panel upon the Story of Brenn-Tyr is allocated for carving the lands' relations with her sister continent.
3. Faith 5 – Create the Fidelity Flute. Effect: Once per round with non-action permission, the Flute owner's Stabilization action may target a region belonging to a nation with which they have an Embassy.
Items made from greywood pine wood are rare, for the trees have long lives and great cultural significance. But death comes for every living being, and sometimes a tree will fall. What non-rotten wood remains in such windfalls is carefully divvied up and used in objects of great import. The Fidelity Flute is one such creation. Its notes are sweet and clear, said to be able to soothe even the most unruly hearts. Its music reaches across cultural and linguistic barriers, bringing peace to all that hear it.
4. Military – Oppose all who would harm the forest, if polite requests to stop will not suffice. This includes any member of the Disciples of Silicon, Ruin's Ancient Warriors, or Witches of Tir Buwch that attempts any negative action (including but not limited to the use of fire) towards any tree in Regions 415, 416, and 429. Investigators who do no harm will be allowed passage. -2 DOS reputation
5. Military – Sagebrush departs on an Epic Quest to rescue Aspen, ambassador to Region 416. 19

Claire Bérenger, the Prince of Rosewood: 4+1+1 Diplomacy, 2+1 Military, 1 Industry, 2 Faith, 2+1 Intrigue
After several years of apprenticeship, it is time for Sypressa to fulfill its promise to the Rosewood. Starting with Claire, and continuing forward, all members of the Rosewood's royal line will become Master Storytellers, earning the right to carve the very Story of Sypressa.
B. Receive Tabloid Dispatchers from Tancourt via the Bruitmire Grove (Embassy), as previously agreed upon. Fails if not non-actioned by Tancourt.
C. Spend 1 DOS favor to raise reputation. -1 DOS favor, +1 DOS reputation
D. Send Merlyn Mal Dread (Hero, score 10, greater starsign) to RAW via the Pycnandra Grove (Embassy).
Merlyn Mal Dread departs the Greywood Coast to return to Ruin, having mastered all that the Swanfeather Wraiths could teach.
E. Decline to help the Myrkran. -1 MYR reputation
The inhabitants of Sypressa are not overly industrious, subsisting upon what can be foraged and hunted from the forest. Every cottage has its own small garden, but the meager sunlight that reaches the forest floor does not grow enough crops to share. Master Storyteller Clove sends a formal letter of apology to the refugees, and inquires as to other avenues to help the Myrkran.
