	[[Managaratha]] says enough of this, and does math (with help from [[Scout]])! He teleports us to “halfway” to our destination. Bamf, we’re somewhere in Orange. He does more calculations to find the final destination, and teleports us there. Bamf, we don’t move. Well that’s not right! He calculates again (again with help from Scout, although Scout thinks the math is wacky because it’s Orellian math), and teleports us to the halfway point. Then he does the calculations, and discovers the previous spot was where we wanted to be? He’s very confused, but one more teleport and brings us back to our first teleport location. Scout climbs a tree and finds a road.		[[Managaratha]] says enough of this, and does math (with help from [[Scout]])! He teleports us to “halfway” to our destination. Bamf, we’re somewhere in Orange.

	Vidan goes to the Church of the Five. He authorizes himself to go in and then goes in. Is there a priest? There is, Valentino, a priest of the Nameless. Vidan introduces himself as Vidan of Zheldat, with the [[Middlesea Free Rangers]]. He wanted to check in as how things stand with the Temple, as he is in town for a few days. They are pleased to see another Priest of the Five. Are there not many? “The city is divided among its loyalty to the Gods; our neighbors to the north do not have the same difficulties.” Vidan gives him a Tarn evidence packet, and hopes for an introduction to the Centurion. Angelina, the priest of Navere, would likely be able to make that introduction.		Vidan goes to the Church of the Five. He authorizes himself to go in and then goes in. Is there a priest?

	One is the Lord of Fire and Earth, in much the way that Nesh is the Buccaneer– the title just appears on you .

	Nesh does some basic research. It was definitely the war they fought against each other. It seems unlikely that either side was the Breaker’s side; the war was the Breaker’s. The war did a lot of damage to the landscape; that’s when the landbridge between Kor and Kern was created, the New River was created.		Nesh does some basic research.

	Managaratha thinks about the names. The Lord Captain Commander. The Admiral. The Centurion is a title from that Comet. Then, there were titles and there were no names. That part of the mechanic doesn’t seem to be in effect now. Managaratha thinks it was more Purple magic than Nameless.		Managaratha thinks about the names. The Lord Captain Commander. The Admiral.

	The Centurion is local head of government. She has two children who are just coming into their 20s; they are heirs to her House, House Horellan (“House Horellan!” says Tom), but not to the position of Centurion. That’s assigned by the nobles upon her death. She commands the Legion. She has an array of Captains and Sergeants in her Legion. It’s nearly exclusively infantry, but has a Mage corps, the head of which is Mario. She has a priest of the Goddess in her household, Carol, and no Priests of the Five, although she does consult with Angelina and Captain Antonio fairly regularly. They do think the local military is better trained than you might have thought from the guys at the gates, and they’re moderately active. She keeps it busy, either along the border to the north, or off into the desert to the east (bandits). She sometimes puts legionnaires onto boats to trick pirates into attacking.

	Guildmaster Mikaeli is pushing hard to replace Lord Leopold (Isabella’s younger brother) as her consort. He’s been consort for two three-year terms. He would be the cinch if Lady Isabella was here, but she’s not, and it’s not clear how long she’ll be gone. Pyotr is in the mix, which is surprising to them; he’s one of the local Saurian leaders, but the Saurians have not typically tried to move in on the political sphere that way. Richard IV is here and is a total wild card. Why would he be here, he’s not Vani at all. They’re not clear about the politics there. Lord [[Victor]] is the head of [[House Mikeli]], he’s a Guildmaster, they don’t have dirt on him (or on anyone really for that matter). Of the four of them, they think Richard has the most military background, but he’s not from Vani, so… they’re not sure how to feel about that.

	How do country turns work in Orange? Oh. Well. Vani, Rinyan and [[Kor]] all get draws fairly regularly. Their stats are not very fixed, and there’s a sub-game in which the three cities are fighting over the stats and what the draws are. THey blame Navere for this.		How do country turns work in Orange?

	If we want Orange magic in particular, we probably want to talk to [[Mario]] or Pyotr. Mario is the Centurion’s Orange Mage. Pyotr’s a saurian who keeps the Lord’s house. The Lord of Earth and Fire? Yes, that is the person whose house it is. But no one using that title has been residing in the House since before Waldron was born.

	Scout tells Waldron about the goblins-Breaking-Spirits plans, and that definitely concerns him. He can certainly keep an eye on things here and make sure none of them get Broken. He thinks that finding out how they’re being connected to Brokenness, and then having them stay out of the Broken Lands for a few weeks should do it. He’ll think about it. Possibly other Spirits could help? They have some relationships.		Scout tells Waldron about the goblins-Breaking-Spirits plans, and that definitely concerns him.

	We go to the Saurian Library, because Nesh thinks he’ll get help. Vidan does some research on the line of the Lords. The title is for the most powerful Orange mage. It is not genealogical; seems to be exclusively male, and always human, which is odd since Magic doesn’t work that way. The first did not have a name. The last one, listed about 100 years ago, went on a trip to Undisclosed Locations, and did not return. There was some discussion for a while whether it was time to pick a new one or not, how long do we give him to come back. How does the Lord get chosen? 10 successes with Succession Law and Research– does Vidan want to spend a DI? Yes. More than one DI? Yes. All right.
