==Scout’s Quest==
A high elf lady comes in, and glares at him, and he smiles and bows and leaves.

“Scout, yes?”

“Yes.”

“I understand you are a shaman of some skill?”

“Yes.”

“Messalani.  I am one of the more important merchants in town.  None of the Rulers in Green are responding to my requests for help.  The Tree network is having troubles; it will need some Shamanism, as well as Green magic, which I can provide.  With the tree network down (not down, that’s strong) it would have taken some time.  ”

“I’m not aware of the Tree Network and what it does, so I’ll need to see it.”

“It’s a transportation network run by elves, that we take advantage of.  It’s been here since before the last Comet (which is when I got here), so it’s quite well established.  It has mostly functioned well, which it is not working well at present.”

“Is it just in Yellow?”

“There are three to the Melmane ports, there’s a different network from Melmane to the other continent.”

Managaratha is pretty sure it was established two Comets ago.

“Is it Alchemy, Nature, Essence…?”

“All three, but at root it is Nature.  But it has a Divine component, but I’m not familiar with that and it’s difficult to find anyone to deal with it.  Priests here are more likely to try to destroy it; that’s happened to trees on occasion.”

Messalina is Merchant Varna, she trades, both inside and overseas to keep the economy of the country running.  The Great River is where the merchant Varna is most respected, so she tends to travel there.  The Tree Network is throughout the lands, but less so in the Priests’ cities.

As she is finishing describing that…
