General Summary
Met with Steele Cast to discuss the fate of Nyeah.
Steele Cast seems to think Nyeah can be trustworthy if we help make her feel this is in her best interest.
Spoke to Nyeah
The Timeless Order of Manacle and Coin had been sponsoring her to infiltrate the Guild.
The Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears has been visiting her in her dreams.
Fortifier floated the idea of performing a sorcerous working to ward her room or the grounds from these remote visions.
Storyteller suggested we could get in touch with The Mordant of Waning Shades, who was another Abyssal in service to the Lover.
We sent her an Infallible Messenger and she is willing to meet with us today.
She is struggling with squaring what it feels like to be an Infernal of Adorjan with how it feels to be an Abyssal of the Lover.
The Lover hates to love but seems willing to wait for Nyeah to come around to her view.
Her followers have been telling her in prayers about the Liveeasy
What we know about the Liveeasy
It is a series of businesses that the Timeless Order of Manacle & Coin has started since the destruction of the Guild Ziggurat.
Investigating the records we looted.
Dreamflower found out that it was the idea of the Guild leaders to erase Steele Cast’s memories of attacking the people they sent him after. There were also notes from Nyah to her superiors where she wasn’t sure if erasing these memories was a good idea.
We found this document of Nyah protesting the assignment, but not the document that assigned her to do it.
With All-Encompassing Sorcerer’s Sight, the ordering document was magically created. Someone magically placed the order as an illusion
Dreamflower used Meditation on Rivalry to determine the perpetrator was in the area of the fallen Guild ziggurat.
Mordant is amenable to mentoring Nyah
Mordant has been trying to locate someone the Lover has asked her to find: the Platinum Lady.
Mordant says the Platinum Lady hasn’t been in her tomb for over a week.
Tracking the target
Miribadi, looks like an antique market.
Dreamflower and Fortifier uses Spirit-Cutting Glance There are many ghosts coming and going
Some of the really ancient items (like pre-Shogunate vases) have a ghost attached or dwelling within.
There might not be a living employee in this place at all, they might all be ghosts.
The workers (ghosts) are entertaining 1 mortal and 1 ghost at present, but they both have their own entourage each.
The mortal is Factor Shinja, who is trying to buy a fancy commode made of sculpted ivory. From maybe RY500 Lookshyan style.
The Platinum Lady is worker ghost trying to answer Shinja’s questions about the commode.
The commode is not haunted, though some of the oldest items are.
The proprietor of this shop is Miribadi Ghostlover.
Mordant, Platinum Lady and Miribadi all have a white emblem on their clothes that seems to indicate they work for the Lover.
Miribadi wears both the iconography of the Lover and the Timeless Order of Manacle & Coin.
This is intriguing because these two powers have different zones of influence and are not necessarily aligned in the Underworld.
Neither the Timeless Order of Manacle & Coin nor the Lover are signatories of the Stygian Pact.
The ghost with the entourage is a massive armoured ghost.
Bears the golden manacles of Anacreon, second in command of the Timeless Order of Manacle & Coin.
Stelsor recalls a rumor that this ghost is named Thousand Brushstrokes, mentioned from Shagalauth.
Brushstrokes is bidding 240 talents of silver on a vase.
Brushstrokes is buying the funeral urn of a mighty general of the late First Age.
Make plans to meet Shinja Saturnday, sundown in an alley way in Nighthammer district.
“Try not to bring the entire city’s worth of bodyguards when you do it.”
Fortifier is concerned about this area becoming a shadowland.
We discussed the possibility of coordinating a festival in the area to reinforce joie de vivre in this area.
