"Rivers' was right, of course - it's a manse. Or rather a demesne; the manse that capped it is long broken. I knew as soon as we reached the inmost ring of willows; they come close enough to the shore to dip their branches into the water, and we hid in their shadows as I worked the geomantic ritual Rivers showed us. The area's filled with water essence, which I expected from the lake - the water is still and pure and floats oversized lotus blossoms on the surface - but layered over that is the strong sense of lunar essence as well. We couldn't decide what to make of it without a more thorough survey, and the creatures kept us from that. | "Rivers' was right, of course - it's a manse.
