Air

Circle of the Elders

Level 2 Air Manse

The Circle of the Elders is found to the distant North, in the homelands of the Winter Paw tribe. From without, the manse appears to be a simple circle of menhirs, each carved with images of hunting animals. Stepping into the circe takes those who enter to a hidden valley, impossibly concealed between the stones. Here, the wind speaks to the valley's occupants - bringing warnings of intruders. A well equipped group could camp here for several months, foraging for food within the valley.

The Circle of the Elders produces a Crystal of the Frozen North hearthstone. It has the following properties: Habitability flaw (-2); Mela's Sweet Whisper (1); Outside Worlds Within (5).

Fire

Diaan's Hearth

Level 3 Fire Manse

Named for its creator, Diaan's Hearth is a metal-working workshop concealed in the southern mountain range, several hundred miles east of Rakandra. The workshop is surrounded by rocky terrain, and bordered to the south by the Sea of Fire. Natural hazards and defensive construction combine to make a structure rivalling many fortresses in resilience. The manse caps a level 4 demense, and uses Essence Vents to bleed off excess essence in a fiery corona.

Diaan's Workshop produces a Perfected Artifice Gem. It has the following properties: Habitability flaw (-1), Fortress (3), Workshop (3), Essence Vents (1).
