Editing Silla (section)

=Backgrounds=
===Allies 1 (Beezelbub)===
Silla's oldest friend, Beezelbub is a greedy little aalu who has always been willing to accept a little bribery to supplement his diet- a habit that got him into his current situation. He's been around since the First Age and got along well in Malfeas for years off the story of the time he ate an entire library that belonged to a Solar. He hasn't been summoned for more than a day or two since then, so until he ran away with Silla he was woefully behind the times. These days, Silla keeps him in a practical paradise for an aalu, feeding him students' papers to grade and bits of her own poetry as treats. In return, he helps her out here and there, often providing his fine paper-silk for Silla's transcription of books for her library.

===Allies 3 (Cathak Setod)===
Silla's old enemy turned friend from the Realm, a member of a Wyld Hunt that dogged Silla's steps for years. Setod is an honorable man and a very old and impressive Dragonblooded warrior who dueled Silla many times- she always left him alive out of respect. When his Wyld Hunt was taken over (against his wishes) by Peleps Deled, Setod finally had enough with the Realm and now works with the Circle to take down the Realm with as few casualties as possible. At Silla's invitation, Setod teaches classes at the Argent Academy that outline the weaknesses of Realm fighting styles.

===Henchmen 3 (Enlightened Acolytes)===

*'''Asphodel,''' ''the Defining Acolyte''
Silla's first acolyte, the extremely intelligent daughter of a Delzahn noble. Keen and ambitious, clearly hungers for an Exaltation herself. Was once a Dereth for the social standing aspects, but has abandoned that lifestyle since leaving Chiaroscuro. Was with Silla in Mahalanka.

*'''Stargazer Shade,''' ''the Reflective Acolyte''
A graduate of the Jade Sickle Academy of Husbandry from the Lap, an expert in genealogy and breeding. A patrician, too intelligent and too far in the Threshold to buy the Immaculate faith entirely. Interested in the origin of eight-tailed mole hounds.

*'''Blood Runs Cold''', ''the Expressive Acolyte''
A retired gladiator from Gem, ran the best school for gladiators until Silla stole him away. An amateur philosopher and brutal fighter, a student of historical treatises on conflict.

*'''Blind Thebe,''' ''the Acolyte of Wisdom''
An old woman, a mortician wooed away from her Order in the interests of gaining favor with the Exalted. Has the collected wisdom of the dead.

An innovative researcher, focuses on the application of knowledge. Travelled from the River Province to find Silla, an accomplished graduate of Nexus University who was exiled for prying into the Solar tombs. Specializes in enchantment and craft assistance- possibly helps Kimiko?

===Artifact 2 (Moonsilver lamellar)===

===Artifact 3 (Shivers of Transfixtion)===
These moonsilver short daiklaves are long, slender knives, almost completely unadorned and appearing as little more than sharp slivers of moonlight. Although they individually have the stats of normal short daiklaves, they were made as a pair: when wielded together, they have an additional power. Whenever the Shivers successfully damage a target, the wielder may choose to reduce one of the target's Virtues by one, minimum one. This is a Crippling effect and cannot reduce a target's Virtues below the minimums required for the Great Curse. Each Virtue heals naturally at the rate of one point a day.

===Artifact 3 (Translation Crystal)===

===Manse 3 (Guardian Gem)===

===Manse 2 (Jewel of Swift Comprehension)===

===Library 5===
This represents the recorded knowledge that Silla has collected over her years as an Exalt. It includes the best of the commonly-available tomes on a huge array of subjects, as well as a handful of extremely rare treatises. These include ''The Genesis of Heathen Ritual'', from which Silla learned the majority of her thaumaturgy. Also present is a copy of ''The Black and White Treatise'', as well as ''The Book of Bone and Ebony'' raided from a nephwrack's lair. Silla also has an impressive collection of editions of ''A Lover Clad in Blue'', a little indulgence of hers. She has been on the lookout for a copy of ''The Broken-Winged Crane'' for some time, but at the moment only has fragments. The treasured star of her collection is ''The Book of Three Circles,'' stolen from Mahalanka. Silla carries this impressive collection with her in Elsewhere, unfolding it into reality when she has the urge to study.

All books kept in Silla's personal library have been painstakingly copied, and the reproductions added to Silla's university in new Harborhead. Called the Argent Academy, this center of learning makes up much of Harborhead's savant district and contains a huge library (obviously) as well as many lecture theaters and even a few research facilities.
