For those who gather in Sellaville soon, ((chris is too fat and lazy to post a brief so...)) Options

We greet.

We have some information to share, for those who seek to gather soon to aid Sellaville.

The city itself wishes for the Kallah of Sellaville to...benefit and evolve.

To that end the "hire" will be for us to fulfill this desire. Normally such a task would be best suited to years end, at the Dawn. But equally auspicious a time, is the birthday of the city spirit, which falls this weekend.

Traditionally Slider spends his birthday in celebrating, travelling the taverns of his city. We would be advised to meet him at his first stop, an old and abandoned building that used to be a tavern in the heart of Sellaville. Join him for a birthday drink. Toasting the city with him at this time will cause reality to be altered, or our perception of reality to be altered.

Once this occurs various Hanot will likely approach with tasks that need to be done. These tasks, and how they are completed, and by who, will influence the evolution of the city's Kallah.

Given our...distaste for those that exist outside the law, we gained insight into one of these likely altered realities. Where the 3 most potent outlaws of that reality seek to drain all the faith from that realities Emperor.

It is possible we may learn more in coming days, if we do we shall share here also.

We also researched a little into the past of the city spirit, for any who may be interested we include a summation of our findings below.

We are Hive

...

Slider was the leader of the Sellaville Hanot when Sellaville was sent to ‘hell’ by the Taratheen (demons).
With the city spirit and kallah mad due to their loss of connection with Primus - the Hanot were the ones who kept people safe and alive as best they could, and he was their leader.
With the return of Sellaville to Primus - he was the most recent vessel for the city spirit. He’s been the city spirit for a long time now (over 20 years) and is most obviously characterised by sitting around the rubble of Sellaville drinking cider from a jug that never seems to run out.
He is broadly out in the open, accessible and gets on with/helps the council, but the Hanot and the people don’t forget about the time in hell and there are still caches of weapons and food around the city just in case.
What is less well known is that Slider’s name is Slithen Tremens - he is one of the children of Ma and Pa Tremens (Ma was the head of a large crime family and the former city spirit of Port Miere). There is the suggestion that the Tremens were a First Age Royal Family or similar.
Tremens offspring were sent out across the land - the daughters often married into prominent families. Slithen was sent away for reasons that were not made clear.
When Pa Tremens returned to Primus - specifically Gileenim in order to ascend to become a god (primal deity of pirates most likely) - Slider/Slithen Tremens took the very unusual step for a city spirit to leave Sellaville and join a group of mercenaries who went to confront him (‘he hurt me Ma’).
It was Slider who was responsible for killing Pa Tremens. That he was able to - like a number of potent First Age/Second Age individuals - Pa Tremens could only be killed by his offspring/son.
As an aside - The Robber Baron was able to enter the well of Sellaville and unravel part of the curse/spell that contained Myron - purely because Slider was absent. As a last and v small aside - Slider has a son (William Tremens - a peon beggar).

Thank you Hive, I have mostly the same information but also that the following spells and miracles are going to be important to us to have:-

Useful spells would be douse, Light, pass unknown, and disenchant or high level dispels.

You can see total heal being cast a lot.

Also situationally useful could be cure disease, warming touch, restoration, and remove fear and paralysis, spiritual freedom, some done mantically.

Hopefully those more able than I will be able to cover this list of needs?
