==== Influence ====
=====Influence 5: Denandsor =====
After taking Denandsor, Ziyad took many steps to end the Nexun Diaspora, gathering as many of the survivors from scattered through the River Province. Many of them felt some loyalty towards this favoured (adopted) son of Nexus when he was just a poet but as the person who gave many of them a new home Ziyad has tremendous influence among them.

====Manses and Demenses====
===== Palace of Steel and Clockwork =====
*'''Level 5 Earth Aspected Manse'''
*This is not the palace fortress in the middle of Denandsor's real name but rather a colourful name Ziyad made up for it. It is the former Daiymo's palace in the centre of the city and was once the Palace of the city's Solar Overlord. For the moment and in the interests of keeping the circle from killing one another Ziyad has claimed it for himself.

=====Valley of Falling Sighs and Subtle Whispers=====
*'''Forgotten Level 4 Demesne of Unknown(Sidereal) Aspect'''
*Within this valley, the very wind twists to words singing them in longing sighs, giving this manse its name. The rest of the demesne has warped the very geomancy to tell the tail of the ruin of the manse and its protector. Everything within it is warped to have words in every tongue, cover every surface with elaborately calligraphy. In the centre lies a cracked and ruined alter, only I in the entire valley is unmarked by words and it looks as if two blades were forced deep into it.  Foot high white marble walls mark out a small area in the centre of the valley covered in moss which tells of the last desperate stand of the manses protector. Shattered rocks and glass scattered over the hillside spell out the doom of those who attacked this place. The very grass that coats the hill and the trees on the edge of the valley tell the history of the valley since the fall of Primordial War. Though damage from the destruction of the manse has destroyed large sections, mostly history of when the manse stood but other bits and pieces as well. Those that stay in the area twist become part of the living history of the demesne and its long forgotten history, eventually remembering nothing of themselves and become living records of the history of the valley. Even visitors impressions are left recorded in stone, the life and the very air, causing those to leave the place to forget unless they made a written record of the place while they were there. Ziyad found the valley while exploring the land he had won from Lord Jidan in the mountain bet. He felt called to the valley and pulled the swords from the ruined alter with ease. He carries the blades with him even now, normally wrapped in silks until he is required to use them. He did not mark the valley on any map but felt compelled to write a poem about it, calling poem and therefore  the location the Valley of Twisted Words and Echoing Sighs. He knew the place has power, he could feel it in the air. Fortunately for Ziyad he recorded the place in a poem so as he left he though he did forget the valley, the poem triggered his memory. Within a month he had returned and attuned to the place, making it impossible to forget. Now with what funds he can scrap together he has begun investigating constructing a structure there, investigating those that know of such things. <br>
*Game Effects: Four years in the valley gives mortals the Amnesia Flaw/Derangement as the history of the place slowly overwrites their memories. They gain four to any lore roll relating to the history of the valley. The Valley’s essence harvest is by taking leaves from the trees and reading them aloud for four days afterwards it will be as if the attuned character lived those moments, loosing himself in memory completely from time to time. Botching the harvest looses oneself in the memories entirely leaving the character insensate for four days.

=====Pool of Reflection=====
*'''Level 3 Water Aspected Manse'''
*A large deep midnight black pool of water situated in the Garden of the Central Manse. In the centre raises a plinth made of Obsidian, lined with veins of Blue Jade. The water is about three foot deep, incredibly still and appears to contain twinkling stars in the night. Looking into the pool is said to give one visions of the future or of the past.
