	Vidan thinks about whether Priests of the Twins are better at Purple than other mages. He makes a Karma check with 6 successes, and gets the option to invoke his once a book schtick– and Nivad shows up! As a Priest of the Twins, he doesn’t think being a Priest is any better at Purple. But he could imagine such a connection might be drawable between Balance and Truth, or maybe Balance and Discipline… But it’s not a thing by default. Nobody but Scout seems to pay much attention to the fact that Vidan is now Nivad.		Vidan thinks about whether Priests of the Twins are better at Purple than other mages.

	Vidan wonders if this wall project is madness; [[Scout]] thinks it’s a bit mad to be doing it now, but when it will be useful once it’s done. It’s probably a Resources country turn draw in a turn or two to make it an applicable defense. It’s not a bad plan. Especially if they have any kind of insight that an attack is coming, which, this being Yellow, they might.

	It wasn’t ~~Mikhailovich’s~~ idea, but his arrival did make the idea plausible. Scout wonders if he could have known about it before arriving. There had been discussion of increased defenses for a few years, since the Comet lit the night sky. There was debate about whether the wall was the most useful approach, but with his arrival the Wall plan seemed more useful. Without an Orange mage, we’ll see whether it continues. Does Stella have any recommendations? Stella doesn’t off-hand, but her Sister [[Meraldi]] would know. The Princess gets some details and makes plans to speak to her.

	The Princess wants a debrief on yesterday; how did we know about the Walls, etc. Vidan says we have a Priest of the Goddess, who is skilled at ferreting out such things. Ah, she is Lore’s servant? No, she serves the Goddess. “She’s from Orange,” Vidan explains. Ah.

	Do we have any way of knowing if Mikaekovich was actually from Orange? Not divine, no, although there were clues that he might not be– the way he introduced himself as from Orange, say. We found Green spell components, so he could have been Rainbow, which means not from Orange. [[Nesh]] thinks his Saurian wasn’t particularly accented; maybe very slightly closer to Blue than Orange.

	[[Talinda]] (who was sneaking around invisibly) is not Merchant [[Varna]], she is Priest varna, but gets to work in Merchant Varna because her husband is Merchant Varna. But that may explain why she is less well-versed in Merchanting than many. She is a Priest of Love, apparently. Suvatra thinks that’s interesting and unusual, but not obviously evil or anything. Vidan considers cross-Varna marriages– Priests and Merchants are less likely to have arranged marriages, so they might be more likely. But it’s rare; you mostly socialize in your own Varna, so there are fewer opportunities. It’s hard to change Varna once you’re an adult, unless you’re Servant Varna.

	What does she need? It is her understanding that there will be a ceremony this evening to give a blessing to a member of the nobility who is in a good place to benefit should the Maharani suffer unfortunate consequences in the future. She believes that it’s part of the Lady of Life’s plan to replace the Maharani for the ritual to go well. Unfortunately it’s taking place in the Church of Life, and only followers of the Lady and their guests can attend. It is her belief that, as a follower of the Goddess, she would be able to attend, since she is not Life or Lore, and therefore must be Life. She doesn’t know the details, or that it would be a Fight per se, but some kind of interference would be helpful. The target for the blessing is Rani Dwalla is the head of house Sukrat, and the Lady of Life’s niece. So the blessing is not illegitimate, but she believes it is a step to oppose the Maharani.
