&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Jade Conclave of the Yellow Sky&#039;&#039;&#039;, commonly abbreviated &#039;&#039;&#039;JCYS&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a Kalderani trading, courier and warehousing company headquartered in [[Pai]]. It distributes tea, coffee, spices and other goods, and operates a network of couriers, delivery workers, branch representatives and temporary storage facilities across [[Kalderesh]]. Its motto is &#039;&#039;One World, One Market&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave presents its mission as providing &amp;quot;the best tea, coffee and other goods to everyone in Kalderesh&amp;quot;. Serious allegations of trafficking and other criminal activity have nevertheless been made against parts of its transport network.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
The date and circumstances of the Conclave&#039;s foundation are not publicly recorded. It has developed an extensive commercial network across southern and central Kalderesh and has expanded into the northern duchies of [[Barban]] and [[Daern]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Aims and principles ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave promotes the ideal of a single Kalderani market in which goods can be moved reliably between distant settlements. Its public mission emphasises the nationwide availability of tea, coffee and other traded goods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Organisation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Leadership ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave&#039;s headquarters in [[Pai]] is led by chief executive officer [[Aethan Pyke]]. [[Ryla Fishman]] serves as vice-president.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Network ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave uses a dispersed network of couriers, delivery workers, local representatives and temporary storage sites rather than relying exclusively upon permanent company warehouses. Its principal locations outside Pai include [[Savimasko]], [[Cordell]], [[Karafor]], [[Welledge]] and [[Rishmont]]. A Conclave presence has also been reported in [[Greymeadow]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The company advertises agents or services in major centres including [[Camfor]], [[Coth-Rom]], [[Torbeck]], [[Barforos]], [[Londesh]] and [[Dromfor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Known branch representatives ===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave transports goods between merchants and settlements, employs or contracts couriers and delivery workers, and makes temporary storage available while cargo is in transit. It charges courier fees and storage fees. Its commercial traffic prominently includes tea, coffee, spices and other portable trade goods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave also subcontracts parts of its transport network. [[John Octavius Gray]] briefly served on a merchant-protection detail attached to a caravan whose operator had been subcontracted by JCYS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Resources and establishments ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave maintains its headquarters in Pai, major regional locations and numerous local representatives. Its transport system uses wagons, couriers, contracted guards and temporary storage facilities. The full number and location of its storage sites are not publicly known.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Reputation ==&lt;br /&gt;
JCYS presents itself as a nationwide commercial service capable of linking distant Kalderani markets. Its extensive use of subcontractors and temporary facilities makes the precise limits of its organisation difficult for outsiders to determine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave&#039;s reputation has been damaged by testimony and evidence associating its wagons with the transport of captives, including children. These findings concern identified Conclave traffic connected to [[Orrin Marr]]; they do not, by themselves, establish the involvement of every branch or employee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Symbols and customs ==&lt;br /&gt;
Conclave agents may be identified by a green jade lapel badge with a yellow reverse. Its commercial slogan is &#039;&#039;One World, One Market&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Involvement in events ==&lt;br /&gt;
In 4691 AC, members of [[TB31]] investigated a tower operated by [[Orrin Marr]]. Testimony obtained from [[Josaeth Waterman]], together with evidence found during the investigation, connected JCYS wagons with the delivery of captives to Marr&#039;s operation. Waterman stated that the deliveries had grown from one or two captives at a time to wagonloads containing adults and children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave has also been associated with suspicious cargo movements elsewhere in Kalderesh. The precise authority under which these shipments were arranged remains uncertain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Reports and allegations ==&lt;br /&gt;
* JCYS wagons have been accused of transporting captives, including children, to Orrin Marr&#039;s tower. This allegation is supported by Waterman&#039;s testimony and the findings of TB31.&lt;br /&gt;
* Criminal activity has been alleged within the Conclave&#039;s courier and storage network. The extent to which senior management knew of or directed such activity has not been established publicly.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Conclave is reported to have a serious rivalry with [[Markus Thorne]] in [[Coth-Rom]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Violetash Cliff is a coastal settlement on Flormin Bay, at the mouth of the mighty Baurin River and on the outer fringes of the Lesser Kascht. [[Summeroak Bush|Summeroak]] and [[Fogcastle]] lie up-river.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the central market of the little fishing village is a memorial to Branus Cook, a ranger who died defending the village, soon after it had been settled, against a monstrous sea beast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The town elder, Romanus Wool, is a gifted bard and storyteller. He owns a number of hostels in the village, as well as in [[Marbleash]], [[Whiteash]], and [[Summeroak Bush|Summeroak]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fishing, seafood gathering, and livestock farming are the most labour-intensive activities in the village. The small harbour can handle barges and large rowing boats; the typical water level is very low.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the mouth of the Baurin River eastward along the coast, the terrain features tall broken cliffs. Scholars have determined that the longstones that make up Lugan’s Krainer (see p 397), some 40 km away, were taken from this section of coast, hundreds of years ago. Today, a single longstone still stands on the rocky coast (see below).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sections of these exposed rocks have a purplish colour, more accented in summer, caused by mist-fed lichens and the unique mineral content of the rock. These purple crystals are highly sought-after and are collected by the Saar from Renhall House.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Renhall House is a fortified chapel, dedicated to Sahir, that stands on an impressive outcrop at the mouth of a small bay, about 7 km from Violetash Cliff. The resident magic users, Grand Archmage Mygwell Buttonworth and Conjurer Oewyn Laine, specialize in marine magic. The resident Saar are noted for their bright yellow headscarves.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Strongfield&#039;&#039;&#039; is a coastal village in the [[Duchy of Krethes]], situated on the [[Gulf of Kalder]] at the mouth of the [[Fishbourn]]. Founded in 4573 AC, it has a population of roughly 2,650 residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although modest in size, Strongfield occupies a strategically important position at a three-way intersection of the [[Royal Road]]. Its importance has increased in recent years as heavy haulers and merchant vessels have begun using its harbour to avoid congestion at [[Coth-Rom]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Geography ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strongfield lies on the coast of the Gulf of Kalder, where road, river, and sea traffic meet. [[Cape Danger]] lies to the north. The village is shaped by its harbour, its road traffic, and the presence of Castle Strongfield, around which much of the settlement has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The surrounding countryside supports subsistence farming, herding, fishing, and quarrying. Cattle, pigs, and goats are commonly kept by local families.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Castle Strongfield ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strongfield is clustered around [[Castle Strongfield]], the royal home of HRH Prince Ailwin Philbert-Kalder and HRH Princess Bryanna. The castle is one of the most prominent features of the village and remains central to its identity, economy, and security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The castle complex is heavily fortified and includes a military wing garrisoned by cavaliers and rangers. These forces patrol the surrounding region and are locally remembered for riding to the aid of [[Millhaven]] during the bandit siege of 4677 AC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The castle grounds also contain the [[Red Needle]], a prominent mage&#039;s tower. The tower is associated with Grand Wizard Aelisabeth Bowman.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Harbour and economy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strongfield&#039;s harbour has become increasingly busy as merchants and heavy haulers seek alternatives to the crowded harbour at Coth-Rom. This maritime traffic, combined with the Royal Road intersection, gives the village an importance greater than its size might suggest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The local economy remains partly rural, with farming, herding, fishing, and quarrying all contributing to village life. Travellers and sailors also support a lively street-food trade. Strongfield vendors are particularly proud of their spiced meat skewers, which they often claim are the finest in Krethes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Learning and curiosities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite its practical, road-and-harbour character, Strongfield is also known as a quiet centre of study.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prince Ailwin is an acknowledged expert in water divination and regularly hosts visiting sages and scholars as long-term guests at Castle Strongfield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Princess Bryanna is a scholar of flowering plants and marine animals. She maintains an exotic underwater zoo in the bay just outside the village harbour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Religion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strongfield has a modest religious establishment serving the village and the surrounding countryside. Its known religious sites include one chapel, three chantries, five shrines, and three all-gods sites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strongfield was founded in 4573 AC. Its position at the mouth of the Fishbourn and on the Royal Road gave it early local importance, though its recent growth in maritime traffic has made it more visible to merchants, travellers, and officials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 4677 AC, forces from Castle Strongfield famously rode to the rescue of Millhaven during a bandit siege, an event still remembered in the region.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Strongfield&#039;&#039;&#039; is a coastal village in the [[Duchy of Krethes]], situated on the [[Gulf of Kalder]] at the mouth of the [[Fishbourn]]. Founded in 4573 AC, it has a population of roughly 2,650 residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although modest in size, Strongfield occupies a strategically important position at a three-way intersection of the [[Royal Road]]. Its importance has increased in recent years as heavy haulers and merchant vessels have begun using its harbour to avoid congestion at [[Coth-Rom]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Geography ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strongfield lies on the coast of the Gulf of Kalder, where road, river, and sea traffic meet. [[Cape Danger]] lies to the north. The village is shaped by its harbour, its road traffic, and the presence of Castle Strongfield, around which much of the settlement has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The surrounding countryside supports subsistence farming, herding, fishing, and quarrying. Cattle, pigs, and goats are commonly kept by local families.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Castle Strongfield ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strongfield is clustered around [[Castle Strongfield]], the royal home of HRH Prince Ailwin Philbert-Kalder and HRH Princess Bryanna. The castle is one of the most prominent features of the village and remains central to its identity, economy, and security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The castle complex is heavily fortified and includes a military wing garrisoned by cavaliers and rangers. These forces patrol the surrounding region and are locally remembered for riding to the aid of [[Millhaven]] during the bandit siege of 4677 AC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The castle grounds also contain the [[Red Needle]], a prominent mage&#039;s tower. The tower is associated with Grand Wizard Aelisabeth Bowman.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Harbour and economy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strongfield&#039;s harbour has become increasingly busy as merchants and heavy haulers seek alternatives to the crowded harbour at Coth-Rom. This maritime traffic, combined with the Royal Road intersection, gives the village an importance greater than its size might suggest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The local economy remains partly rural, with farming, herding, fishing, and quarrying all contributing to village life. Travellers and sailors also support a lively street-food trade. Strongfield vendors are particularly proud of their spiced meat skewers, which they often claim are the finest in Krethes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Learning and curiosities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite its practical, road-and-harbour character, Strongfield is also known as a quiet centre of study.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prince Ailwin is an acknowledged expert in water divination and regularly hosts visiting sages and scholars as long-term guests at Castle Strongfield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Princess Bryanna is a scholar of flowering plants and marine animals. She maintains an exotic underwater zoo in the bay just outside the village harbour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Religion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strongfield has a modest religious establishment serving the village and the surrounding countryside. Its known religious sites include one chapel, three chantries, five shrines, and three all-gods sites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strongfield was founded in 4573 AC. Its position at the mouth of the Fishbourn and on the Royal Road gave it early local importance, though its recent growth in maritime traffic has made it more visible to merchants, travellers, and officials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 4677 AC, forces from Castle Strongfield famously rode to the rescue of Millhaven during a bandit siege, an event still remembered in the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Strongfield lies on the coast of the Gulf of Kalder, where road, river, and sea traffic meet. [[Cape Danger]] lies to the north. The village is shaped by its harbour, its road traffic, and the presence of Castle Strongfield, around which much of the settlement has grown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The surrounding countryside supports subsistence farming, herding, fishing, and quarrying. Cattle, pigs, and goats are commonly kept by local families.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Castle Strongfield ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strongfield is clustered around [[Castle Strongfield]], the royal home of HRH Prince Ailwin Philbert-Kalder and HRH Princess Bryanna. The castle is one of the most prominent features of the village and remains central to its identity, economy, and security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The castle complex is heavily fortified and includes a military wing garrisoned by cavaliers and rangers. These forces patrol the surrounding region and are locally remembered for riding to the aid of [[Millhaven]] during the bandit siege of 4677 AC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The castle grounds also contain the [[Red Needle]], a prominent mage&#039;s tower. The tower is associated with Grand Wizard Aelisabeth Bowman.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Harbour and economy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strongfield&#039;s harbour has become increasingly busy as merchants and heavy haulers seek alternatives to the crowded harbour at Coth-Rom. This maritime traffic, combined with the Royal Road intersection, gives the village an importance greater than its size might suggest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The local economy remains partly rural, with farming, herding, fishing, and quarrying all contributing to village life. Travellers and sailors also support a lively street-food trade. Strongfield vendors are particularly proud of their spiced meat skewers, which they often claim are the finest in Krethes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Learning and curiosities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite its practical, road-and-harbour character, Strongfield is also known as a quiet centre of study.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prince Ailwin is an acknowledged expert in water divination and regularly hosts visiting sages and scholars as long-term guests at Castle Strongfield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Princess Bryanna is a scholar of flowering plants and marine animals. She maintains an exotic underwater zoo in the bay just outside the village harbour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Religion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strongfield has a modest religious establishment serving the village and the surrounding countryside. Its known religious sites include one chapel, three chantries, five shrines, and three all-gods sites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strongfield was founded in 4573 AC. Its position at the mouth of the Fishbourn and on the Royal Road gave it early local importance, though its recent growth in maritime traffic has made it more visible to merchants, travellers, and officials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 4677 AC, forces from Castle Strongfield famously rode to the rescue of Millhaven during a bandit siege, an event still remembered in the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Strongfield  is a coastal village on the Gulf of Kalder. It lies at the mouth of the Fishbourn, at a three-way intersection of the Royal Road. Cape Danger lies to the north.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cattle, pigs, and goats are kept, and basic subsistence farming is carried out. The village is clustered around the magnificent Castle Strongfield and exists primarily to support it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strongfield is the home of HRH Prince Ailwin Philbert-Kalder (son of the Crown Prince) and HRH Princess Bryanna. Prince Ailwin studies divinations, and often has sages and scholars as long-term guests in the castle. His ability at water divination is acknowledged by other experts.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:530 wyverndell.jpg|thumb| Soward Hall overlooking Wyverndell.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wyverndell is a fishing village at the mouth of the Wyvern River on Efron Bay in the Coth-Rom Sound. It is one of three coastal settlements on the long Royal Road between [[Coth-Rom]] and [[Daernbeck]]. Travellers to Coth-Rom often spend the night here, before undertaking the last leg of their journey to the city. A striking-looking castle, Soward Hall, stands on a promontory near Wyverndell; it is often used as a waymarker by travellers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The village leader, Alina Flowers, is an expert tailor and has a small shop in Coth-Rom. First Councillor Graysen Clay is known for his skill at making wind instruments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The little harbour is adequate for the small fishing boats that regularly ply the oceans. However, an extensive treacherous reef essentially cordon’s off the beach and harbour area, requiring skilled pilots and the use of boats with very shallow draft.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only chapel in the village is dedicated to Oohm, and is looked after by Priest Ysaac Mast. Father Mast is a furrier, and his hunting range is to the north of the village. He often hunts with the Qidranian tracker Lyam Castaway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Castaway is employed as castellan of Soward Hall, a castle of classic design that stands on the coast outside the village. Soward Hall is the property of Master Alyn Soward, Governor of the Guild of Armorers &amp;amp; Locksmiths in Coth-Rom. Master Soward visits irregularly, but the Hall is immaculately maintained by a large staff of villagers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Rishmont, established in 4587, is a mid-sized town at the mouth of the Rishpin, which flows through the Big Valley.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The settlement exists mainly to serve as a transportation hub for the wine industry. It is essentially an extensive shallow, marshy harbour with accommodation for the carters and haulers who live and work there. Barges transport grapes and wine from the numerous farms in the valley to Rishmont, where they are shipped to Londesh for processing and distribution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The town elder is Hanna Capman, a master locksmith and fine-metal worker.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Themesk.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:503.jpg|left|thumb| The best timber for construction is sourced from Pilton, gathered in Eelbeck Valley.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pilton lies in south-western Duskwood, on the River Eelbeck. Upriver is Newmoor, and downriver, at the coast, is Welledge. Pilton is a major provider of quality construction timber. It is also the well-known for its spring flower festival, often attracting scholars, herbalists, and sight-seers from across the kingdom. The flowers are unique, in that they have been grafted onto living trees, creating a spectacular vista.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The village leader is Mayor Naemo Garr, a well-spoken and canny businessman. Garr, a follower of Oohm, is skilled at negotiating good prices for the timber gathered for export. Her home, which also doubles as council offices, overlooks the river. Her first assistant, Gaeus Singer, is a meticulous record keeper, and also a skilled gem cutter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pilton is a quiet village with a long, proud tradition in forestry. Druids of the Circle of the Earthmother guide the lumberworkers to trees to be felled. The trees are then limbed, bucked and transported back to Pilton. From there, they are floated down-stream to Welledge. The 62 km journey is an epic and dangerous one, and only the fittest and most skilled tree riders survive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The retired wizard Vinkus Stone is in charge of the logging operation, particularly the transport of the logs downriver. Wizard Stone is a capable scholar and is knowledgeable about veterinary healing, animal lore, monstrous species lore, and pest control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pilton’s low-density farmland – actually a patchwork of small, unconnected fields – is scattered amongst thinned-out sections of the forest. The primary crops are beans, brine wheat, beetroot, and rice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A chapel to Salaah is built on a tiny promontory into the Eelbeck. It is managed by the Salee Aaryn Sandman and his long-time partner Caeleb Silvermoon. Silvermoon is ex-military and oversees the village patrols. He is often accompanied by the well-to-do gladiator Aevan Beach, who retired to Pilton after an all-star career in Camfor. A fane to Razim stands in the centre of the village market. The Razimite cleric Josayah Springer attends to services.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Neue Yaark&#039;&#039;&#039; is an isolated mining village in the [[Duchy of Toreen]], [[Kalderesh]]. It stands beside the [[Wolf River]] on the [[Stormreach Uplands]], in the foothills of the [[Ironcrest Hills]]. The village is best known for its coal and gold mines and for the difficulty of reaching it from the principal roads of the duchy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Geography and access ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neue Yaark lies in broken upland country. The [[Greelwood Forest]] borders the settlement to the north, while the terrain to the north-east becomes increasingly rugged and has a longstanding reputation for skrags and other dangerous creatures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The village is not situated on a major road. A rough track runs approximately 30 kilometres west to the [[Stonemoor Secondary Road]]. The journey commonly takes two days because of the condition of the ground. From [[Stonemoor]], travellers may continue towards [[Gaunt&#039;s Watch]] and eventually reach the [[Royal Road]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Wolf River supplies the settlement with water and power. [[Market Street Bridge]] is the principal local crossing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Village ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neue Yaark is largely self-sustaining. Its principal civic and commercial buildings include the Council Hall, school, mill, brewery, tannery and smithy. Most everyday trade serves farming families, miners and the transport of ore and fuel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Three Tree Inn]] stands on the eastern edge of the village. It is a popular meeting place for residents, miners and the few travellers who make the journey to Neue Yaark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Mines ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mines lie approximately one hour east of the village. They were originally opened for coal, but the later discovery of gold brought a period of rapid expansion and attracted labourers, merchants and prospectors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A substantial mining settlement has grown around the main entrance. It includes worker hostels, coal storehouses, a general shop, the [[Small Barrel Inn]] and the now-empty [[Golden Sheep]] public house. The mining complex remains economically dependent upon Neue Yaark, although its distance from the village gives it a distinct character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The older workings are extensive and imperfectly documented. Stories of lost passages, missing miners and haunted galleries are common, although accounts vary considerably.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Government ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neue Yaark is formally governed by its Town Council. The Council has limited revenue and has accepted financial assistance from [[Varig Krunz]], a wealthy landowner whose fortified residence stands approximately 50 kilometres south of the village. Krunz has acquired substantial property in the surrounding region and has become increasingly influential in local affairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Arthur Greenbottom]], who bears the title of Steward, acts as Krunz&#039;s principal representative in Neue Yaark. Opinion concerning the arrangement is divided: some residents regard Krunz&#039;s money as necessary support for an isolated settlement, while others consider it an attempt to gain control of the mines and Council.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Religion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Religious life in the village centres upon an [[All-Gods]] temple and a dedicated Temple of [[Oohmians|Oohm]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An abandoned Chapel of [[Qidranians|Qidra]] stands at the mining complex. It was formerly tended by [[Lady Yoren]], who withdrew from the settlement and now lives in the nearby [[Hills of Lemon]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable residents ==&lt;br /&gt;

== Recent events and rumours ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early 4691, Neue Yaark and its mines suffered a series of disturbing events. Several miners disappeared, rumours of strange occurrences spread through the older workings, and skrags attacked both the settlement and the mining district. The immediate attacks were repelled, but the surrounding wilderness and abandoned passages remain dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of these events are disputed. Common explanations include ordinary skrag raiding, criminal activity, mining accidents and the persistent claim that something in the deepest workings has been disturbed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Neue Yaark&#039;&#039;&#039; is an isolated mining village in the [[Duchy of Toreen]], [[Kalderesh]]. It stands beside the [[Wolf River]] on the [[Stormreach Uplands]], in the foothills of the [[Ironcrest Hills]]. The village is best known for its coal and gold mines and for the difficulty of reaching it from the principal roads of the duchy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Geography and access ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neue Yaark lies in broken upland country. The [[Greelwood Forest]] borders the settlement to the north, while the terrain to the north-east becomes increasingly rugged and has a longstanding reputation for skrags and other dangerous creatures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The village is not situated on a major road. A rough track runs approximately 30 kilometres west to the [[Stonemoor Secondary Road]]. The journey commonly takes two days because of the condition of the ground. From [[Stonemoor]], travellers may continue towards [[Gaunt&#039;s Watch]] and eventually reach the [[Royal Road]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Wolf River supplies the settlement with water and power. [[Market Street Bridge]] is the principal local crossing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Village ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neue Yaark is largely self-sustaining. Its principal civic and commercial buildings include the Council Hall, school, mill, brewery, tannery and smithy. Most everyday trade serves farming families, miners and the transport of ore and fuel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Three Tree Inn]] stands on the eastern edge of the village. It is a popular meeting place for residents, miners and the few travellers who make the journey to Neue Yaark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Mines ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mines lie approximately one hour east of the village. They were originally opened for coal, but the later discovery of gold brought a period of rapid expansion and attracted labourers, merchants and prospectors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A substantial mining settlement has grown around the main entrance. It includes worker hostels, coal storehouses, a general shop, the [[Small Barrel Inn]] and the now-empty [[Golden Sheep]] public house. The mining complex remains economically dependent upon Neue Yaark, although its distance from the village gives it a distinct character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The older workings are extensive and imperfectly documented. Stories of lost passages, missing miners and haunted galleries are common, although accounts vary considerably.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Government ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neue Yaark is formally governed by its Town Council. The Council has limited revenue and has accepted financial assistance from [[Varig Krunz]], a wealthy landowner whose fortified residence stands approximately 50 kilometres south of the village. Krunz has acquired substantial property in the surrounding region and has become increasingly influential in local affairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Arthur Greenbottom]], who bears the title of Steward, acts as Krunz&#039;s principal representative in Neue Yaark. Opinion concerning the arrangement is divided: some residents regard Krunz&#039;s money as necessary support for an isolated settlement, while others consider it an attempt to gain control of the mines and Council.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Religion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Religious life in the village centres upon an [[All-Gods]] temple and a dedicated Temple of [[Oohmians|Oohm]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An abandoned Chapel of [[Qidranians|Qidra]] stands at the mining complex. It was formerly tended by [[Lady Yoren]], who withdrew from the settlement and now lives in the nearby [[Hills of Lemon]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Neue Yaark&#039;&#039;&#039; is an isolated mining village in the [[Duchy of Toreen]], [[Kalderesh]]. It stands beside the [[Wolf River]] on the [[Stormreach Uplands]], in the foothills of the [[Ironcrest Hills]]. The village is best known for its coal and gold mines and for the difficulty of reaching it from the principal roads of the duchy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Geography and access ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neue Yaark lies in broken upland country. The [[Greelwood Forest]] borders the settlement to the north, while the terrain to the north-east becomes increasingly rugged and has a longstanding reputation for skrags and other dangerous creatures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The village is not situated on a major road. A rough track runs approximately 30 kilometres west to the [[Stonemoor Secondary Road]]. The journey commonly takes two days because of the condition of the ground. From [[Stonemoor]], travellers may continue towards [[Gaunt&#039;s Watch]] and eventually reach the [[Royal Road]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Wolf River supplies the settlement with water and power. [[Market Street Bridge]] is the principal local crossing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Village ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neue Yaark is largely self-sustaining. Its principal civic and commercial buildings include the Council Hall, school, mill, brewery, tannery and smithy. Most everyday trade serves farming families, miners and the transport of ore and fuel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Three Tree Inn]] stands on the eastern edge of the village. It is a popular meeting place for residents, miners and the few travellers who make the journey to Neue Yaark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Mines ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mines lie approximately one hour east of the village. They were originally opened for coal, but the later discovery of gold brought a period of rapid expansion and attracted labourers, merchants and prospectors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A substantial mining settlement has grown around the main entrance. It includes worker hostels, coal storehouses, a general shop, the [[Small Barrel Inn]] and the now-empty [[Golden Sheep]] public house. The mining complex remains economically dependent upon Neue Yaark, although its distance from the village gives it a distinct character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The older workings are extensive and imperfectly documented. Stories of lost passages, missing miners and haunted galleries are common, although accounts vary considerably.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Government ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neue Yaark is formally governed by its Town Council. The Council has limited revenue and has accepted financial assistance from [[Varig Krunz]], a wealthy landowner whose fortified residence stands approximately 50 kilometres south of the village. Krunz has acquired substantial property in the surrounding region and has become increasingly influential in local affairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Arthur Greenbottom]], who bears the title of Steward, acts as Krunz&#039;s principal representative in Neue Yaark. Opinion concerning the arrangement is divided: some residents regard Krunz&#039;s money as necessary support for an isolated settlement, while others consider it an attempt to gain control of the mines and Council.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Religion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Religious life in the village centres upon an [[All-Gods]] temple and a dedicated Temple of [[Oohmians|Oohm]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An abandoned [[Chapel of Qidra]] stands at the mining complex. It was formerly tended by [[Lady Yoren]], who withdrew from the settlement and now lives in the nearby [[Hills of Lemon]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable residents ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Ghranny]]&lt;br /&gt;
: A mage and artisan associated with [[TB822]]. Although originally from [[Wyverndell]], she has used Neue Yaark as a home and base for her adventures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Father Harald]]&lt;br /&gt;
: A cleric of [[Oohm]] and member of TB822. He is one of the adventurers associated with Neue Yaark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Lehmon]]&lt;br /&gt;
: A ranger and novice druid associated with TB822 and Neue Yaark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Faliko]]&lt;br /&gt;
: A ranger resident in Neue Yaark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[William Streams]]&lt;br /&gt;
: An accomplished local alchemist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Becky Rolland]]&lt;br /&gt;
: A gem cutter whose work is closely connected to the gold-mining trade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Rendal Twoshanks]]&lt;br /&gt;
: A mining overseer who is widely distrusted and frequently accused of corruption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Arthur Greenbottom]]&lt;br /&gt;
: The Steward and local representative of Varig Krunz.&lt;br /&gt;
== Recent events and rumours ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early 4691, Neue Yaark and its mines suffered a series of disturbing events. Several miners disappeared, rumours of strange occurrences spread through the older workings, and skrags attacked both the settlement and the mining district. The immediate attacks were repelled, but the surrounding wilderness and abandoned passages remain dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of these events are disputed. Common explanations include ordinary skrag raiding, criminal activity, mining accidents and the persistent claim that something in the deepest workings has been disturbed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Neue Yaark lies in broken upland country. The [[Greelwood Forest]] borders the settlement to the north, while the terrain to the north-east becomes increasingly rugged and has a longstanding reputation for skrags and other dangerous creatures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The village is not situated on a major road. A rough track runs approximately 30 kilometres west to the [[Stonemoor Secondary Road]]. The journey commonly takes two days because of the condition of the ground. From Stonemoor, travellers may continue towards [[Gaunt&#039;s Watch]] and eventually reach the [[Royal Road]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Wolf River supplies the settlement with water and power. [[Market Street Bridge]] is the principal local crossing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Village ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neue Yaark is largely self-sustaining. Its principal civic and commercial buildings include the Council Hall, school, mill, brewery, tannery and smithy. Most everyday trade serves farming families, miners and the transport of ore and fuel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Three Tree Inn]] stands on the eastern edge of the village. It is a popular meeting place for residents, miners and the few travellers who make the journey to Neue Yaark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Mines ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mines lie approximately one hour east of the village. They were originally opened for coal, but the later discovery of gold brought a period of rapid expansion and attracted labourers, merchants and prospectors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A substantial mining settlement has grown around the main entrance. It includes worker hostels, coal storehouses, a general shop, the [[Small Barrel Inn]] and the now-empty [[Golden Sheep]] public house. The mining complex remains economically dependent upon Neue Yaark, although its distance from the village gives it a distinct character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The older workings are extensive and imperfectly documented. Stories of lost passages, missing miners and haunted galleries are common, although accounts vary considerably.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Government ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neue Yaark is formally governed by its Town Council. The Council has limited revenue and has accepted financial assistance from [[Varig Krunz]], a wealthy landowner whose fortified residence stands approximately 50 kilometres south of the village. Krunz has acquired substantial property in the surrounding region and has become increasingly influential in local affairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Arthur Greenbottom]], who bears the title of Steward, acts as Krunz&#039;s principal representative in Neue Yaark. Opinion concerning the arrangement is divided: some residents regard Krunz&#039;s money as necessary support for an isolated settlement, while others consider it an attempt to gain control of the mines and Council.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Religion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Religious life in the village centres upon an [[All-Gods]] temple and a dedicated [[Temple of Oohm]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An abandoned [[Chapel of Qidra]] stands at the mining complex. It was formerly tended by [[Lady Yoren]], who withdrew from the settlement and now lives in the nearby [[Hills of Lemon]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable residents ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[William Streams]]&lt;br /&gt;
: An accomplished local alchemist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Becky Rolland]]&lt;br /&gt;
: A gem cutter whose work is closely connected to the gold-mining trade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Rendal Twoshanks]]&lt;br /&gt;
: A mining overseer who is widely distrusted and frequently accused of corruption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Arthur Greenbottom]]&lt;br /&gt;
: The Steward and local representative of Varig Krunz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Recent events and rumours ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early 4691, Neue Yaark and its mines suffered a series of disturbing events. Several miners disappeared, rumours of strange occurrences spread through the older workings, and skrags attacked both the settlement and the mining district. The immediate attacks were repelled, but the surrounding wilderness and abandoned passages remain dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The causes of these events are disputed. Common explanations include ordinary skrag raiding, criminal activity, mining accidents and the persistent claim that something in the deepest workings has been disturbed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[File:Duchy of Toreen.jpg|thumb|The duchy of Toreen]]&lt;br /&gt;
Toreen, the “Spiritual Duchy”, lies in central and north-western Kalderesh. The ducal seat is in [[Torbeck]], ruled by Bardolph Gifford, Duke of Toreen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The northern limit of the duchy extends up to the crests of the Barobur Mountain Range. In the western part lies the sprawling Duskwood Forest. Ancient Duskwood occupies about a quarter of the entire duchy; the much smaller Hemden Forest is located to the north-west. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Duskwood]] is the most primordial of all forests in Kalderesh. Tracts of the forest have never been explored by humans. Four Druidic circles are found here: The Circle of Guardians, Circle of the Ancients, Circle of the Earthmother, and the Circle of Light. Hemden Forest is the most welcoming of all the druidic forests in the realm; within it’s protective embrace is the fastness of the Kalderani barbarians, and a settlement of centaurs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eastern Toreen is mainly grassland and low hills. The southern part of the duchy is well-populated, while the northern half contains but a single city (the free city of Stonemoor).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Settlements in western Toreen are clustered around [[Coth-Rom]], the City of the Night. A large part of the surrounding land, encompassing much of Duskwood, is within the Province of Qidra. Lady Laylanna Rains administers the province from [[Themesk]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eastern Toreen is anchored by [[Torbeck]], the City of Storms. The Razimites own a parcel of land west of Torbeck, abutting the Qidranian lands. There are no Crown-owned lands in Toreen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In east-central Toreen is the so-called &amp;quot;basket loop&amp;quot;, eight agricultural settlements well-connected by a road network. These are [[Donnalaich]], [[Falconcliff]], [[Edgemead]], [[Cordell]], [[Greenbarrow]], [[Hedgehaven]], [[Lightfield]], and [[Kleerby]]. To various degrees, these settlements are involved in producing horticultural goods (for food and industry) for export. Raw and processed goods, bundled in baskets and loaded on to wagons and barges, are transported to distribution points, the largest of which is [[Cordell]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are two free cities in Toreen: [[Esterhedge Haven]] (est. 4375) and [[Stonemoor]] (4423).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[File:Duchy of Toreen.jpg|thumb|The duchy of Toreen]]&lt;br /&gt;
Toreen, the “Spiritual Duchy”, lies in central and north-western Kalderesh. The ducal seat is in [[Torbeck]], ruled by Bardolph Gifford, Duke of Toreen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The northern limit of the duchy extends up to the crests of the Barobur Mountain Range. In the western part lies the sprawling Duskwood Forest. Ancient Duskwood occupies about a quarter of the entire duchy; the much smaller Hemden Forest is located to the north-west. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Duskwood]] is the most primordial of all forests in Kalderesh. Tracts of the forest have never been explored by humans. Four Druidic circles are found here: The Circle of Guardians, Circle of the Ancients, Circle of the Earthmother, and the Circle of Light. Hemden Forest is the most welcoming of all the druidic forests in the realm; within it’s protective embrace is the fastness of the Kalderani barbarians, and a settlement of centaurs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eastern Toreen is mainly grassland and low hills. The southern part of the duchy is well-populated, while the northern half contains but a single city (the free city of Stonemoor).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Settlements in western Toreen are clustered around [[Coth-Rom]], the City of the Night. A large part of the surrounding land, encompassing much of Duskwood, is within the Province of Qidra. Lady Laylanna Rains administers the province from [[Themesk]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eastern Toreen is anchored by [[Torbeck]], the City of Storms. The Razimites own a parcel of land west of Torbeck, abutting the Qidranian lands. There are no Crown-owned lands in Toreen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In east-central Toreen is the so-called &amp;quot;basket loop&amp;quot;, eight agricultural settlements well-connected by a road network. These are [[Donnalaich]], [[Falconcliff]], [[Edgemead]], [[Cordell]], [[Greenbarrow]], [[Hedgehaven]], [[Lightfield]], and [[Kleerby]]. To various degrees, these settlements are involved in producing horticultural goods (for food and industry) for export. Raw and processed goods, bundled in baskets and loaded on to wagons and barges, are transported to distribution points, the largest of which is [[Cordell]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are two free cities in Toreen: [[Esterhedge Haven]] (est. 4375) and [[Stonemoor]] (4423).&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:baya swamp.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:269_Edgecliff.jpg|thumb|The well-warded town of Edgecliff is perched on a promontory overlooking the Baro River.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Edgecliff is a small fortified settlement on the cliffs overlooking the River Eel. It lies about two-and-a-half days travel by road to the nearest large settlement, the free city of Esterhedge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Edgecliff was established in 4568 originally as a base camp for miners, following the discovery of gold some 20km to the north. The mine fields are located in a dangerous mountainous region infested by groks. The village is safe from attack because of the nearby Monastery of Saar, but the distant mines are not always similarly protected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The current Council Elder of Edgecliff is Alyce Sterne, a somewhat absent-minded dyer but with a keen eye for administration. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The town has a population of 2,966 adults, most of whom are involved in mining operations or allied support functions. The settlement&#039;s 300 or so buildings are surrounded by a formidable wall and from a distance looks like a large castle. About half of the buildings are homes, 40% are business locations, and about 10% are related to mining, the settlement&#039;s primary activity. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:270_River_Eel.jpg|thumb|Looking east from Edgecliff along the River Eel towards the Monastery of Saar.]]&lt;br /&gt;
A chapel to Razim is part of the central fortification. Smaller chantries and shrines devoted to the other Gods are dotted about the village. There are two All-Gods churches, one at each entrance to the settlement. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several shafts have been excavated down through the bedrock into underground streams which feed the Baro. Fresh water for the settlement is taken from these wells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the excavation of one of these shafts, a vein of turquoise was discovered. This has traditionally been used to create small amulets of eels (see below), for which the village is famous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outside the town walls a vast region is given over to farming. Primary crops are wheat and beans. There are some olive groves and also a few stands of fig trees. The natural plant growth tends towards low shrubs, sufficient to support grazing for sheep and goats. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the River Eel below the town are extensive eel farms, a delicacy for which Edgecliff is known across Kalderesh. Ewan Dycen is in charge of the eel farms, and for negotiating sales across the kingdom. During the spawning season, the village gathers for a festival on the sandy river banks next to the eel pools.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:472.jpg|thumb| The view from above Bluefog looking along the Dalyla Channel around sunrise.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bluefog is a little coastal settlement north-east of Torbeck, at the mouth of the Dalyla River. It is an isolated village, with only a crude trail leading to the Royal Road one day away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Village alderman Allisann Herd is a noted medicinal alchemist and is said to have an impressive pharmacological laboratory. A beautiful chapel to Salaah is adjacent to the small town hall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Parse wheat and some cirrus wheat is cultivated along the western reach of the Dalyla River. Sea root and star urchins are gathered from the little inlet in which the village lies, and a small fishing fleet supplies fresh fish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astyn Spanner is a modestly wealthy net weaver, who has a private stable of horses just out of town. Spanner has developed a technique for creating extremely heavy-duty nets, much sought after in the ship building trade and elsewhere. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The macabre wizard Hudsyn Pickman, a mortician and magical engineer, runs a private guild in the village.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Aldbarrow is a mining community in the lower reaches of the Barren Hills. It is known for its manufacture of quality tiles. The best residences and palaces in Kalderesh will use the exquisite tiles made here, for flooring, but particularly for frescoes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The village is managed by mayor Gaevyn Blue, assisted by first councillor Zachaery Smoker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raw materials for producing the tiles are excavated from concretions that are scattered about in the wider Barren Hills area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Large firing kilns sometimes darken the sky above the village for days on end as the batches of tiles are expertly glazed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Duskwood is an ancient, sprawling woodland occupying roughly one-quarter of the [[Duchy of Toreen]] in western Kalderesh. Regarded as the most primordial forest in the kingdom, vast tracts of its dense interior have never been explored by humans. The terrain varies from towering canopies to the seasonally swampy watershed of the Hawk River. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Druidic Presence==&lt;br /&gt;
Duskwood is the sacred domain of four distinct Druidic circles: the Circle of Guardians, the Circle of the Ancients, the Circle of the Earthmother, and the Circle of Light. Notable Great Druids presiding over these circles include Iney Starlain, Leal the Younger, Heitor Noongar, and Yevga Tarana. The druids heavily influence local life:&lt;br /&gt;
*   Circle of the Ancients: Maintains a 6-by-7 kilometre cleared agricultural zone around the town of Themesk.&lt;br /&gt;
*   Circle of the Earthmother: Guides the lumberworkers of Pilton, selecting specific trees to be felled for sustainable timber export.&lt;br /&gt;
*   Circle of Light: Maintains amicable relations with the remote village of Oldhedge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Holy Sites==&lt;br /&gt;
*   [[Bilberry Grove]]: The most sacred Qidranian site in Kalderesh, located in the deepest, densest part of the forest, roughly 80 km north-east of Coth-Rom. It is the site of the Qidranian Mystery rites, celebrated around the start of summer, and is guarded by a gavrusha known as the Lady of the Stars.&lt;br /&gt;
*   [[Monastery of Qidra (Bilberry)|Bilbery Monastery of Qidra]]: Often mistaken for the Grove itself, this large stone complex in the central hills serves as a dedicated scriptorium for preserving Qidranian texts and music in open-air facilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Key Settlements==&lt;br /&gt;
*   [[Themesk]]: The capital of the Province of Qidra, built astride the Krethes River in a treeless section of the lower valley. It is home to a Qidranian Grand Temple and a heavy military garrison.&lt;br /&gt;
*   [[Upper-Whitehall]]: Located in eastern Duskwood along the Royal Road, featuring the grand White Hall castle and the Great Theatre.&lt;br /&gt;
*   [[Lorcastle]]: A unique village where druids have shaped living trees into houses and applied a specialised form of prinwork that marks the wood without carving it.&lt;br /&gt;
*   [[Oldhedge]]: A remote village near the Duskwood watershed that relies on mushroom cultivation rather than traditional farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*   [[Pilton]]: A south-western logging village that floats harvested timber down the Eelbeck River to the coast.&lt;br /&gt;
*   [[Redhall]]: The final Royal Road waystation for religious pilgrims. Annually, a temporary trail manifests in the local Qidranian chapel&#039;s garden, initiating a three-day, druid-guided trek to Bilberry Grove.&lt;br /&gt;

Bilberry Monastery was established in 4446 as a dedicated scriptorium to preserve Qidranian writings and holy music. It lies in the hills of central [[Duskwood]], a short distance from the Royal Road. It is sometimes mistaken for the actual [[Bilberry Grove]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The monastery is overseen by its prior, Tyago Sandflats, who is an expert sage specializing in divinational and healing plants. Sandflats is also known for several innovations in cartography, and is an advisor at the Brogzin Academy in Coth-Rom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The well-appointed monastery, housing some 500 people, is a large stone complex with many meditational mazes and is famous for its peaceful gardens. The scriptoria are open-air assemblages, exposed to the elements but protected from damage. The scribes wear vine-patterned green robes. It is believed that an extensive collection of writings on Druidic customs and history are preserved in the monastery.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Duchy of Toreen.jpg|thumb|The duchy of Toreen]]&lt;br /&gt;
Toreen, the “Spiritual Duchy”, lies in central and north-western Kalderesh. The ducal seat is in [[Torbeck]], ruled by Bardolph Gifford, Duke of Toreen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The northern limit of the duchy extends up to the crests of the Barobur Mountain Range. In the western part lies the sprawling Duskwood Forest. Ancient Duskwood occupies about a quarter of the entire duchy; the much smaller Hemden Forest is located to the north-west. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Duskwood]] is the most primordial of all forests in Kalderesh. Tracts of the forest have never been explored by humans. Four Druidic circles are found here: The Circle of Guardians, Circle of the Ancients, Circle of the Earthmother, and the Circle of Light. Hemden Forest is the most welcoming of all the druidic forests in the realm; within it’s protective embrace is the fastness of the Kalderani barbarians, and a settlement of centaurs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eastern Toreen is mainly grassland and low hills. The southern part of the duchy is well-populated, while the northern half contains but a single city (the free city of Stonemoor).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Settlements in western Toreen are clustered around [[Coth-Rom]], the City of the Night. A large part of the surrounding land, encompassing much of Duskwood, is within the Province of Qidra. Lady Laylanna Rains administers the province from [[Themesk]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eastern Toreen is anchored by [[Torbeck]], the City of Storms. The Razimites own a parcel of land west of Torbeck, abutting the Qidranian lands. There are no Crown-owned lands in Toreen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In east-central Toreen is the so-called &amp;quot;basket loop&amp;quot;, eight agricultural settlements well-connected by a road network. These are [[Donnalaich]], [[Falconcliff]], [[Edgemead]], [[Cordell]], [[Greenbarrow]], [[Hedgehaven]], [[Lightfield]], and [[Kleerby]]. To various degrees, these settlements are involved in producing horticultural goods (for food and industry) for export. Raw and processed goods, bundled in baskets and loaded on to wagons and barges, are transported to distribution points, the largest of which is [[Cordell]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are two free cities in Toreen: [[Esterhedge Haven]] (est. 4375) and [[Stonemoor]] (4423).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Duskwood is an ancient, sprawling woodland occupying roughly one-quarter of the Duchy of Toreen in western Kalderesh. Regarded as the most primordial forest in the kingdom, vast tracts of its dense interior have never been explored by humans. The terrain varies from towering canopies to the seasonally swampy watershed of the Hawk River. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Druidic Presence==&lt;br /&gt;
Duskwood is the sacred domain of four distinct Druidic circles: the Circle of Guardians, the Circle of the Ancients, the Circle of the Earthmother, and the Circle of Light. Notable Great Druids presiding over these circles include Iney Starlain, Leal the Younger, Heitor Noongar, and Yevga Tarana. The druids heavily influence local life:&lt;br /&gt;
*   Circle of the Ancients: Maintains a 6-by-7 kilometre cleared agricultural zone around the town of Themesk.&lt;br /&gt;
*   Circle of the Earthmother: Guides the lumberworkers of Pilton, selecting specific trees to be felled for sustainable timber export.&lt;br /&gt;
*   Circle of Light: Maintains amicable relations with the remote village of Oldhedge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Holy Sites==&lt;br /&gt;
*   [[Bilberry Grove]]: The most sacred Qidranian site in Kalderesh, located in the deepest, densest part of the forest, roughly 80 km north-east of Coth-Rom. It is the site of the Qidranian Mystery rites, celebrated around the start of summer, and is guarded by a gavrusha known as the Lady of the Stars.&lt;br /&gt;
*   [[Bilbery Monastery of Qidra]]: Often mistaken for the Grove itself, this large stone complex in the central hills serves as a dedicated scriptorium for preserving Qidranian texts and music in open-air facilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Key Settlements==&lt;br /&gt;
*   [[Themesk]]: The capital of the Province of Qidra, built astride the Krethes River in a treeless section of the lower valley. It is home to a Qidranian Grand Temple and a heavy military garrison.&lt;br /&gt;
*   [[Upper-Whitehall]]: Located in eastern Duskwood along the Royal Road, featuring the grand White Hall castle and the Great Theatre.&lt;br /&gt;
*   [[Lorcastle]]: A unique village where druids have shaped living trees into houses and applied a specialised form of prinwork that marks the wood without carving it.&lt;br /&gt;
*   [[Oldhedge]]: A remote village near the Duskwood watershed that relies on mushroom cultivation rather than traditional farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*   [[Pilton]]: A south-western logging village that floats harvested timber down the Eelbeck River to the coast.&lt;br /&gt;
*   [[Redhall]]: The final Royal Road waystation for religious pilgrims. Annually, a temporary trail manifests in the local Qidranian chapel&#039;s garden, initiating a three-day, druid-guided trek to Bilberry Grove.&lt;br /&gt;

Duskwood is an ancient, sprawling woodland occupying roughly one-quarter of the Duchy of Toreen in western Kalderesh. Regarded as the most primordial forest in the kingdom, vast tracts of its dense interior have never been explored by humans. The terrain varies from towering canopies to the seasonally swampy watershed of the Hawk River. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Druidic Presence==&lt;br /&gt;
Duskwood is the sacred domain of four distinct Druidic circles: the Circle of Guardians, the Circle of the Ancients, the Circle of the Earthmother, and the Circle of Light. Notable Great Druids presiding over these circles include Iney Starlain, Leal the Younger, Heitor Noongar, and Yevga Tarana. The druids heavily influence local life:&lt;br /&gt;
*   Circle of the Ancients: Maintains a 6-by-7 kilometre cleared agricultural zone around the town of Themesk.&lt;br /&gt;
*   Circle of the Earthmother: Guides the lumberworkers of Pilton, selecting specific trees to be felled for sustainable timber export.&lt;br /&gt;
*   Circle of Light: Maintains amicable relations with the remote village of Oldhedge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Holy Sites==&lt;br /&gt;
*   ==Bilberry Grove:== The most sacred Qidranian site in Kalderesh, located in the deepest, densest part of the forest, roughly 80 km north-east of Coth-Rom. It is the site of the Qidranian Mystery rites, celebrated around the start of summer, and is guarded by a gavrusha known as the Lady of the Stars.&lt;br /&gt;
*   ==Bilbery Monastery of Qidra:== Often mistaken for the Grove itself, this large stone complex in the central hills serves as a dedicated scriptorium for preserving Qidranian texts and music in open-air facilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Key Settlements==&lt;br /&gt;
*   ==Themesk:== The capital of the Province of Qidra, built astride the Krethes River in a treeless section of the lower valley. It is home to a Qidranian Grand Temple and a heavy military garrison.&lt;br /&gt;
*   ==Upper-Whitehall:== Located in eastern Duskwood along the Royal Road, featuring the grand White Hall castle and the Great Theatre.&lt;br /&gt;
*   ==Lorcastle:== A unique village where druids have shaped living trees into houses and applied a specialised form of prinwork that marks the wood without carving it.&lt;br /&gt;
*   ==Oldhedge:== A remote village near the Duskwood watershed that relies on mushroom cultivation rather than traditional farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*   ==Pilton:== A south-western logging village that floats harvested timber down the Eelbeck River to the coast.&lt;br /&gt;
*   ==Redhall:== The final Royal Road waystation for religious pilgrims. Annually, a temporary trail manifests in the local Qidranian chapel&#039;s garden, initiating a three-day, druid-guided trek to Bilberry Grove.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Kalderesh has never been at war, but because of its history has always been prepared for war. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four oldest cities in the nation – [[Camfor]], [[Barforos]], [[Azerel]], and [[Staven]] – were all founded explicitly as military settlements. Azerel was established as a forward-base for the army, Staven as an advance naval base, and Barforos as the secondary naval head quarters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Armed forces=&lt;br /&gt;
The armed forces consist of six divisions: &#039;&#039;&#039;Army&#039;&#039;&#039; (soldiers who fight on land), &#039;&#039;&#039;Navy&#039;&#039;&#039; (mariners who fight underwater and on ocean-going vessels), &#039;&#039;&#039;Sky Cavalry&#039;&#039;&#039; (sky helms who fight on flying mounts), &#039;&#039;&#039;Fossary&#039;&#039;&#039; (solvary who fight underground), &#039;&#039;&#039;Magicaery&#039;&#039;&#039; (war mages; also, magic users who supplement other divisions), and &#039;&#039;&#039;Extraordinary Forces&#039;&#039;&#039; (combatants not otherwise specified).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Military bases=&lt;br /&gt;
Major army bases are maintained at [[Camfor]], [[Azerel]], [[Harden]], [[Daernbeck]], [[Bitafor]], and [[Laneder]]. Harden is the military capital of Kalderesh. Major naval bases are in [[Barforos]], [[Torbeck]], [[Staven]], and [[Daernbeck]]. Staven is the naval head quarters and hosts the Royal Dockyards. The Sky Cavalry are headquartered in [[Keserel]]. The Magicaery is nominally administered by the Royal Guilde of Magic in Camfor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kalderesh maintains a well-equipped, well-trained permanent military force. It deploys a standing army of about 40,000 soldiers and a navy of 45 warships and 11,200 mariners. The Sky Cavalry has a complement of 200 sky helms. The strength of the Fossary and Magicaery is undisclosed.&lt;br /&gt;
=The Battle of the Saints=&lt;br /&gt;
The largest organized military action in Kalderesh was the Battle of the Saints in 4310.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly before the conflict, a new city – [[Cerosfor]] – had just been built in the Barban Uplands as a bulwark against monstrous incursions from the Barban Highlands and Barobur Mountains. During its construction a noticeable increase in attacks took place, and a strong Razimite presence was established to support the relatively small military force stationed there. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Less than a year after it was established an organized horde of giants, trollocks and groks attacked the young settlement, and almost destroyed it. King Ebrardus led a military force that joined those from the city, pushing back the monsters briefly. But they regrouped and mounted an even more forceful assault. The military commanders and Razimite leaders were at a loss to explain the unusual ferocity and seeming invulnerability of the beasts. Unbeknownst to them, the beasts were magically protected by the wizard Valdar, working behind the scenes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The King called on an old friend, Palantel of the Elder Dawn, who destroyed Valdar in the nick of time. Without Valdar&#039;s support, the King&#039;s forces were victorious. In return for his help, the King granted Palantel the right to establish a free city, and in 4311 February, [[Greymeadow]] was officially founded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the historic Battle of Saints, a High Temple of Razim has always been maintained in the city.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Jade Conclave of the Yellow Sky&#039;&#039;&#039;, commonly abbreviated &#039;&#039;&#039;JCYS&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a Kalderani trading, courier and warehousing company headquartered in [[Pai]]. It distributes tea, coffee, spices and other goods, and operates a network of couriers, delivery workers, branch representatives and temporary storage facilities across [[Kalderesh]]. Its motto is &#039;&#039;One World, One Market&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave presents its mission as providing &amp;quot;the best tea, coffee and other goods to everyone in Kalderesh&amp;quot;. Serious allegations of trafficking and other criminal activity have nevertheless been made against parts of its transport network.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
The date and circumstances of the Conclave&#039;s foundation are not publicly recorded. It has developed an extensive commercial network across southern and central Kalderesh and has expanded into the northern duchies of [[Barban]] and [[Daern]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Aims and principles ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave promotes the ideal of a single Kalderani market in which goods can be moved reliably between distant settlements. Its public mission emphasises the nationwide availability of tea, coffee and other traded goods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Organisation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Leadership ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave&#039;s headquarters in [[Pai]] is led by chief executive officer [[Aethan Pyke]]. [[Ryla Fishman]] serves as vice-president.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Network ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave uses a dispersed network of couriers, delivery workers, local representatives and temporary storage sites rather than relying exclusively upon permanent company warehouses. Its principal locations outside Pai include [[Savimasko]], [[Cordell]], [[Karafor]], [[Welledge]] and [[Rishmont]]. A Conclave presence has also been reported in [[Greymeadow]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The company advertises agents or services in major centres including [[Camfor]], [[Coth-Rom]], [[Torbeck]], [[Barforos]], [[Londesh]] and [[Dromfor]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave transports goods between merchants and settlements, employs or contracts couriers and delivery workers, and makes temporary storage available while cargo is in transit. It charges courier fees and storage fees. Its commercial traffic prominently includes tea, coffee, spices and other portable trade goods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave also subcontracts parts of its transport network. [[John Octavius Gray]] briefly served on a merchant-protection detail attached to a caravan whose operator had been subcontracted by JCYS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Resources and establishments ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave maintains its headquarters in Pai, major regional locations and numerous local representatives. Its transport system uses wagons, couriers, contracted guards and temporary storage facilities. The full number and location of its storage sites are not publicly known.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Reputation ==&lt;br /&gt;
JCYS presents itself as a nationwide commercial service capable of linking distant Kalderani markets. Its extensive use of subcontractors and temporary facilities makes the precise limits of its organisation difficult for outsiders to determine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave&#039;s reputation has been damaged by testimony and evidence associating its wagons with the transport of captives, including children. These findings concern identified Conclave traffic connected to [[Orrin Marr]]; they do not, by themselves, establish the involvement of every branch or employee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Symbols and customs ==&lt;br /&gt;
Conclave agents may be identified by a green jade lapel badge with a yellow reverse. Its commercial slogan is &#039;&#039;One World, One Market&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Involvement in events ==&lt;br /&gt;
In 4691 AC, members of [[TB31]] investigated a tower operated by [[Orrin Marr]]. Testimony obtained from [[Josaeth Waterman]], together with evidence found during the investigation, connected JCYS wagons with the delivery of captives to Marr&#039;s operation. Waterman stated that the deliveries had grown from one or two captives at a time to wagonloads containing adults and children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave has also been associated with suspicious cargo movements elsewhere in Kalderesh. The precise authority under which these shipments were arranged remains uncertain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Reports and allegations ==&lt;br /&gt;
* JCYS wagons have been accused of transporting captives, including children, to Orrin Marr&#039;s tower. This allegation is supported by Waterman&#039;s testimony and the findings of TB31.&lt;br /&gt;
* Criminal activity has been alleged within the Conclave&#039;s courier and storage network. The extent to which senior management knew of or directed such activity has not been established publicly.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Conclave is reported to have a serious rivalry with [[Markus Thorne]] in [[Coth-Rom]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;John Octavius Gray&#039;&#039;&#039;, commonly known as &#039;&#039;&#039;John Gray&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a Kalderani assassin, researcher and operative associated with the [[Kalderani Extraordinary Forces]]. He is a member of the adventuring company [[TB31]], alongside [[Alaric]] and [[Lord Mayfin Solcarth]]. Gray is principally known for his investigation of the [[Communion of the Golden Hand]] and [[Orrin Marr]]&#039;s Royal Watch Tower, his fieldwork in the [[Swamp of Azaar]], and his research into matters bearing upon Kalderani national security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray was born in [[Torbeck]] into a middle-middle-class military family. Both of his parents are members of the Kalderani [[Extraordinary Forces]]. He received training in military and merchant naval service; the dates and institutions associated with this training have not been recorded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During his early twenties, Gray spent six months in [[Duskwood]], where he met the druid [[Thalor Rootshaper]]. Gray became Rootshaper&#039;s pupil and the two became friends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a short period, Gray served on a merchant protection detail attached to a transport caravan whose operator had been subcontracted by the [[JCYS|Jade Conclave of the Yellow Sky]]. He later travelled to [[Coth-Rom]] and visited its University under the assumed identity of a researcher studying trade alliances and irregularities which might affect national security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray was twenty-eight years old and a first-level assassin when TB31 began its recorded activities on 1 January 4691. He has subsequently attained third level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Adventuring career ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vertwall and the Communion of the Golden Hand ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 1 January 4691, Gray departed [[Vertwall Crags]] with Alaric and Mayfin Solcarth. The party intercepted a wagon driven by [[Tommus and Nolyn]] and discovered four crates containing severed human heads. They arrested the drivers and brought both men and cargo to [[Lady Gildore]]. Gildore&#039;s investigation revealed that the wagon&#039;s mules were polymorphed children, that one crate carried a tracking spell, and that the drivers were under a dweomer which Oohmian clerics could not fully reverse. The consignment had been intended for the [[Communion of the Golden Hand]] in Vertwall. TB31 subsequently reconnoitred the establishment and arranged for a local boy to watch it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Royal Watch Tower ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 2 January, Gray used his navigation skills to guide TB31 south-west of Vertwall in search of an unnaturally broad wilderness path. At the apparently abandoned [[Royal Watch Tower]], he climbed the exterior wall and attempted to enter through an upper window, but found the internal shutter barred.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Alaric and Mayfin breached the tower&#039;s doors, Gray took part in the confined fight beyond them. He pinned [[Lynardus Waterman]] through the foot with a dagger and felled another fleeing defender with an accurately thrown dagger. Once Waterman surrendered, Gray conducted much of his interrogation. He learnt that the tower was an active intake and holding site for Orrin Marr&#039;s operation, to which the [[Jade Conclave of the Yellow Sky]] delivered captives, including children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray prepared against an attack from below by moving six casks of oil to the basement entrance. When Alaric returned from the roof after encountering a vitality-draining presence, Gray took a plain gold ring from Waterman and passed it to Alaric. Marr had required anyone assigned to roof duty to wear the ring, apparently as protection from the tower&#039;s magical ward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Assault upon Marr&#039;s complex ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Alaric returned to Vertwall to seek assistance, Gray remained at the tower with Mayfin, Waterman, [[Kevyn Star]] and [[Carlus Wahl]]. He kept watch and continued speaking with Waterman. After Alaric&#039;s return, Gray used invisibility to scout ahead while the party investigated the lower levels. The tower&#039;s captives were freed and a concealed cave refuge and treasure cache were discovered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray was present when a six-foot-wide magical eye appeared and subsequently exploded. He joined the descent into the sub-basement, where the party found Marr and his portal. TB31 pursued Marr through the portal shortly before midnight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Displacement into Azaar ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The portal malfunctioned and displaced its travellers separately into the Swamp of Azaar, approximately 25 kilometres from the [[Troglodyte Lair]]. Marr died after rematerialising and drowning, Mayfin remained missing, and Gray and Alaric survived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray endured the swamp alone for a time before finding Alaric. The surviving companions later travelled to [[Azerel]]. Gray&#039;s individual encounters before the reunion have not yet been recorded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fieldwork in Azaar and Mikelmin ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray maintained field notes and maps during his travels. His swamp records identify a skinning lodge, skeletons, reed beds, fishing holes, a strange man, a witch&#039;s hut and a trolloc fisherman. He also found one unidentified, unusual crystal and collected pollen samples from five shooting flowers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray later prepared notes and maps concerning the forested area above the [[Mikelmin Mines]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance and personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray is a twenty-eight-year-old man, 1.8 metres tall, with light olive skin, dark-brown hair and blue-grey eyes. He has a rugged, weathered appearance and sharp features. During the Vertwall expedition he wore studded leather armour and carried a light crossbow, rapier and dagger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His conduct is characteristically investigative and tactically deliberate. He reconnoitres unfamiliar locations, listens for concealed opponents, questions prisoners, prepares defensive measures and scouts ahead when concealment is available. He appears more strongly motivated by information and useful capabilities than by wealth, status or prolonged social bargaining.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Abilities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray is a third-level assassin. His recorded abilities are as follows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Thief skills ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Backstab&lt;br /&gt;
* Climb Walls&lt;br /&gt;
* Detect Illusion&lt;br /&gt;
* Detect Magic&lt;br /&gt;
* Detect Noise&lt;br /&gt;
* Escape Bonds&lt;br /&gt;
* Find/Remove Traps&lt;br /&gt;
* Hide in Shadows&lt;br /&gt;
* Move Silently&lt;br /&gt;
* Thief&#039;s Cant&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Proficiencies ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Blind-Fighting&lt;br /&gt;
* Cryptography&lt;br /&gt;
* History, Modern&lt;br /&gt;
* Improvised Weapon&lt;br /&gt;
* Investigation&lt;br /&gt;
* Navigation&lt;br /&gt;
* Orienteering&lt;br /&gt;
* Reading/Writing&lt;br /&gt;
* Reading Lips&lt;br /&gt;
* Riding, Land-based&lt;br /&gt;
* Swimming&lt;br /&gt;
* Ventriloquism&lt;br /&gt;
* Weapon Specialisation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray speaks Kalderani, Shaikar and Ancient Gallentene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Assassin skills ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Assassination&lt;br /&gt;
* Identify Poison&lt;br /&gt;
* Treat Poison Victims&lt;br /&gt;
* Herbalism&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His combined training gives him particular competence in investigation, covert observation, poison work, travel and wilderness navigation. He has also demonstrated skill with daggers, a crossbow and a rapier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Alaric]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Gray&#039;s fellow member of TB31. Both survived their separate displacement into Azaar, later found one another in the swamp and travelled to Azerel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Lord Mayfin Solcarth]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Gray&#039;s fellow member of TB31. Mayfin&#039;s present whereabouts following the portal displacement are unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Lynardus Waterman]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Initially an opponent whom Gray helped disable and interrogate at the Royal Watch Tower. Waterman subsequently provided the party with information concerning Marr&#039;s operation and the layout of the lower tower.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Lady Gildore]]&lt;br /&gt;
: A powerful Vertwall magic-user who assisted TB31&#039;s investigation of the wagon intercepted on 1 January. Her tower was destroyed the following day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Thalor Rootshaper]]&lt;br /&gt;
: A druid whom Gray met during a six-month stay in Duskwood. Rootshaper became Gray&#039;s teacher and friend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Research and intelligence ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray has recorded several reports and rumours which he considers relevant to Kalderani security:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A report from Tanner that an unidentified sculptor is a Malanthean spy who uses statues to communicate secrets.&lt;br /&gt;
* A wizard-related rumour, obtained from a young bard, concerning &#039;&#039;Scale&#039;s weights&#039;&#039;; its precise meaning remains unrecorded.&lt;br /&gt;
* Information that eight Ioun stones, described as gems, had been made.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray regards this type of research as work which Kalderesh should undertake in preparation for threats from hostile states. The claims above remain reports or rumours rather than established facts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Possessions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Backpack.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sturdy belt.&lt;br /&gt;
* Belt pouch.&lt;br /&gt;
* Light crossbow.&lt;br /&gt;
* Crossbow quiver containing twelve bolts.&lt;br /&gt;
* Dagger.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rapier and scabbard.&lt;br /&gt;
* Studded leather armour.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;Potion of healing&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;Potion of extra-healing&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* A badge issued by the Wizard Guild in [[Azerel]], permitting entry to the Guildhouse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The character&#039;s full name is &#039;&#039;&#039;John Octavius Gray&#039;&#039;&#039;; &#039;&#039;&#039;John Gray&#039;&#039;&#039; is the common shortened form.&lt;br /&gt;
* Gray is described in the TB31 roster as an &#039;&#039;assassin/researcher&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* His recorded social class is middle-middle class and his Fame score is 2.&lt;br /&gt;
* His precise date of birth, alignment, religious affiliation and kit have not yet been recorded.&lt;br /&gt;
* The precise nature, duties and current status of Gray&#039;s own association with the Kalderani Extraordinary Forces require further documentation.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;John Octavius Gray&#039;&#039;&#039;, commonly known as &#039;&#039;&#039;John Gray&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a Kalderani assassin, researcher and operative associated with the [[Kalderani Extraordinary Forces]]. He is a member of the adventuring company [[TB31]], alongside [[Alaric]] and [[Lord Mayfin Solcarth]]. Gray is principally known for his investigation of the [[Communion of the Golden Hand]] and [[Orrin Marr]]&#039;s Royal Watch Tower, his fieldwork in the [[Swamp of Azaar]], and his research into matters bearing upon Kalderani national security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray was born in [[Torbeck]] into a middle-middle-class military family. Both of his parents are members of the Kalderani [[Extraordinary Forces]]. He received training in military and merchant naval service; the dates and institutions associated with this training have not been recorded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During his early twenties, Gray spent six months in [[Duskwood]], where he met the druid [[Thalor Rootshaper]]. Gray became Rootshaper&#039;s pupil and the two became friends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a short period, Gray served on a merchant protection detail attached to a transport caravan whose operator had been subcontracted by the [[Jade Conclave of the Yellow Sky]]. He later travelled to [[Coth-Rom]] and visited its University under the assumed identity of a researcher studying trade alliances and irregularities which might affect national security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray was twenty-eight years old and a first-level assassin when TB31 began its recorded activities on 1 January 4691. He has subsequently attained third level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Adventuring career ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vertwall and the Communion of the Golden Hand ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 1 January 4691, Gray departed [[Vertwall Crags]] with Alaric and Mayfin Solcarth. The party intercepted a wagon driven by [[Tommus and Nolyn]] and discovered four crates containing severed human heads. They arrested the drivers and brought both men and cargo to [[Lady Gildore]]. Gildore&#039;s investigation revealed that the wagon&#039;s mules were polymorphed children, that one crate carried a tracking spell, and that the drivers were under a dweomer which Oohmian clerics could not fully reverse. The consignment had been intended for the [[Communion of the Golden Hand]] in Vertwall. TB31 subsequently reconnoitred the establishment and arranged for a local boy to watch it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Royal Watch Tower ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 2 January, Gray used his navigation skills to guide TB31 south-west of Vertwall in search of an unnaturally broad wilderness path. At the apparently abandoned [[Royal Watch Tower]], he climbed the exterior wall and attempted to enter through an upper window, but found the internal shutter barred.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Alaric and Mayfin breached the tower&#039;s doors, Gray took part in the confined fight beyond them. He pinned [[Lynardus Waterman]] through the foot with a dagger and felled another fleeing defender with an accurately thrown dagger. Once Waterman surrendered, Gray conducted much of his interrogation. He learnt that the tower was an active intake and holding site for Orrin Marr&#039;s operation, to which the [[Jade Conclave of the Yellow Sky]] delivered captives, including children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray prepared against an attack from below by moving six casks of oil to the basement entrance. When Alaric returned from the roof after encountering a vitality-draining presence, Gray took a plain gold ring from Waterman and passed it to Alaric. Marr had required anyone assigned to roof duty to wear the ring, apparently as protection from the tower&#039;s magical ward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Assault upon Marr&#039;s complex ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Alaric returned to Vertwall to seek assistance, Gray remained at the tower with Mayfin, Waterman, [[Kevyn Star]] and [[Carlus Wahl]]. He kept watch and continued speaking with Waterman. After Alaric&#039;s return, Gray used invisibility to scout ahead while the party investigated the lower levels. The tower&#039;s captives were freed and a concealed cave refuge and treasure cache were discovered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray was present when a six-foot-wide magical eye appeared and subsequently exploded. He joined the descent into the sub-basement, where the party found Marr and his portal. TB31 pursued Marr through the portal shortly before midnight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Displacement into Azaar ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The portal malfunctioned and displaced its travellers separately into the Swamp of Azaar, approximately 25 kilometres from the [[Troglodyte Lair]]. Marr died after rematerialising and drowning, Mayfin remained missing, and Gray and Alaric survived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray endured the swamp alone for a time before finding Alaric. The surviving companions later travelled to [[Azerel]]. Gray&#039;s individual encounters before the reunion have not yet been recorded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fieldwork in Azaar and Mikelmin ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray maintained field notes and maps during his travels. His swamp records identify a skinning lodge, skeletons, reed beds, fishing holes, a strange man, a witch&#039;s hut and a trolloc fisherman. He also found one unidentified, unusual crystal and collected pollen samples from five shooting flowers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray later prepared notes and maps concerning the forested area above the [[Mikelmin Mines]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance and personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray is a twenty-eight-year-old man, 1.8 metres tall, with light olive skin, dark-brown hair and blue-grey eyes. He has a rugged, weathered appearance and sharp features. During the Vertwall expedition he wore studded leather armour and carried a light crossbow, rapier and dagger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His conduct is characteristically investigative and tactically deliberate. He reconnoitres unfamiliar locations, listens for concealed opponents, questions prisoners, prepares defensive measures and scouts ahead when concealment is available. He appears more strongly motivated by information and useful capabilities than by wealth, status or prolonged social bargaining.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Abilities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray is a third-level assassin. His recorded abilities are as follows.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His combined training gives him particular competence in investigation, covert observation, poison work, travel and wilderness navigation. He has also demonstrated skill with daggers, a crossbow and a rapier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Alaric]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Gray&#039;s fellow member of TB31. Both survived their separate displacement into Azaar, later found one another in the swamp and travelled to Azerel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Lord Mayfin Solcarth]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Gray&#039;s fellow member of TB31. Mayfin&#039;s present whereabouts following the portal displacement are unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Lynardus Waterman]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Initially an opponent whom Gray helped disable and interrogate at the Royal Watch Tower. Waterman subsequently provided the party with information concerning Marr&#039;s operation and the layout of the lower tower.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Lady Gildore]]&lt;br /&gt;
: A powerful Vertwall magic-user who assisted TB31&#039;s investigation of the wagon intercepted on 1 January. Her tower was destroyed the following day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Thalor Rootshaper]]&lt;br /&gt;
: A druid whom Gray met during a six-month stay in Duskwood. Rootshaper became Gray&#039;s teacher and friend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Research and intelligence ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray has recorded several reports and rumours which he considers relevant to Kalderani security:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A report from Tanner that an unidentified sculptor is a Malanthean spy who uses statues to communicate secrets.&lt;br /&gt;
* A wizard-related rumour, obtained from a young bard, concerning &#039;&#039;Scale&#039;s weights&#039;&#039;; its precise meaning remains unrecorded.&lt;br /&gt;
* Information that eight Ioun stones, described as gems, had been made.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gray regards this type of research as work which Kalderesh should undertake in preparation for threats from hostile states. The claims above remain reports or rumours rather than established facts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Possessions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Backpack.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sturdy belt.&lt;br /&gt;
* Belt pouch.&lt;br /&gt;
* Light crossbow.&lt;br /&gt;
* Crossbow quiver containing twelve bolts.&lt;br /&gt;
* Dagger.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rapier and scabbard.&lt;br /&gt;
* Studded leather armour.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;Potion of healing&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;Potion of extra-healing&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* A badge issued by the Wizard Guild in [[Azerel]], permitting entry to the Guildhouse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The character&#039;s full name is &#039;&#039;&#039;John Octavius Gray&#039;&#039;&#039;; &#039;&#039;&#039;John Gray&#039;&#039;&#039; is the common shortened form.&lt;br /&gt;
* Gray is described in the TB31 roster as an &#039;&#039;assassin/researcher&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* His recorded social class is middle-middle class and his Fame score is 2.&lt;br /&gt;
* His precise date of birth, alignment, religious affiliation and kit have not yet been recorded.&lt;br /&gt;
* The precise nature, duties and current status of Gray&#039;s own association with the Kalderani Extraordinary Forces require further documentation.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Jade Conclave of the Yellow Sky&#039;&#039;&#039;, commonly abbreviated &#039;&#039;&#039;JCYS&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a Kalderani trading, courier and warehousing company headquartered in [[Pai]]. It distributes tea, coffee, spices and other goods, and operates a network of couriers, delivery workers, branch representatives and temporary storage facilities across [[Kalderesh]]. Its motto is &#039;&#039;One World, One Market&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave presents its mission as providing &amp;quot;the best tea, coffee and other goods to everyone in Kalderesh&amp;quot;. Serious allegations of trafficking and other criminal activity have nevertheless been made against parts of its transport network.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
The date and circumstances of the Conclave&#039;s foundation are not publicly recorded. It has developed an extensive commercial network across southern and central Kalderesh and has expanded into the northern duchies of [[Barban]] and [[Daern]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Aims and principles ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave promotes the ideal of a single Kalderani market in which goods can be moved reliably between distant settlements. Its public mission emphasises the nationwide availability of tea, coffee and other traded goods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Organisation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Leadership ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave&#039;s headquarters in [[Pai]] is led by chief executive officer [[Aethan Pyke]]. [[Ryla Fishman]] serves as vice-president.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Network ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave uses a dispersed network of couriers, delivery workers, local representatives and temporary storage sites rather than relying exclusively upon permanent company warehouses. Its principal locations outside Pai include [[Savimasko]], [[Cordell]], [[Karafor]], [[Welledge]] and [[Rishmont]]. A Conclave presence has also been reported in [[Greymeadow]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The company advertises agents or services in major centres including [[Camfor]], [[Coth-Rom]], [[Torbeck]], [[Barforos]], [[Londesh]] and [[Dromfor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave transports goods between merchants and settlements, employs or contracts couriers and delivery workers, and makes temporary storage available while cargo is in transit. It charges courier fees and storage fees. Its commercial traffic prominently includes tea, coffee, spices and other portable trade goods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave also subcontracts parts of its transport network. [[John Octavius Gray]] briefly served on a merchant-protection detail attached to a caravan whose operator had been subcontracted by JCYS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Resources and establishments ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave maintains its headquarters in Pai, major regional locations and numerous local representatives. Its transport system uses wagons, couriers, contracted guards and temporary storage facilities. The full number and location of its storage sites are not publicly known.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Reputation ==&lt;br /&gt;
JCYS presents itself as a nationwide commercial service capable of linking distant Kalderani markets. Its extensive use of subcontractors and temporary facilities makes the precise limits of its organisation difficult for outsiders to determine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave&#039;s reputation has been damaged by testimony and evidence associating its wagons with the transport of captives, including children. These findings concern identified Conclave traffic connected to [[Orrin Marr]]; they do not, by themselves, establish the involvement of every branch or employee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Symbols and customs ==&lt;br /&gt;
Conclave agents may be identified by a green jade lapel badge with a yellow reverse. Its commercial slogan is &#039;&#039;One World, One Market&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Involvement in events ==&lt;br /&gt;
In 4691 AC, members of [[TB31]] investigated a tower operated by [[Orrin Marr]]. Testimony obtained from [[Josaeth Waterman]], together with evidence found during the investigation, connected JCYS wagons with the delivery of captives to Marr&#039;s operation. Waterman stated that the deliveries had grown from one or two captives at a time to wagonloads containing adults and children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Conclave has also been associated with suspicious cargo movements elsewhere in Kalderesh. The precise authority under which these shipments were arranged remains uncertain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Reports and allegations ==&lt;br /&gt;
* JCYS wagons have been accused of transporting captives, including children, to Orrin Marr&#039;s tower. This allegation is supported by Waterman&#039;s testimony and the findings of TB31.&lt;br /&gt;
* Criminal activity has been alleged within the Conclave&#039;s courier and storage network. The extent to which senior management knew of or directed such activity has not been established publicly.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Conclave is reported to have a serious rivalry with [[Markus Thorne]] in [[Coth-Rom]].&lt;br /&gt;
