## Visitors

* If Isidore Burbidge was given Storian yesterday the first visitor will be Malcolm Hodges who is now looking into Burbidges' disappearance. He asks if he can look around.
* Eleanor Bramer will otherwise be the first visitor. She notes that the salt marshes are made uninhabitable by insects, furthermore she claims there is an unusual plant there. She gives the player character a hand drawn map.
* If Malcolm Hodges visited already today, he will visit again, stating that he was unable to find anything.
* Bethany Coleman will visit next, she thanks you for your help and says that everyone is panicking from the news that the Arda was poisoned. She also says that a sister named Thea has gone missing. She requests Jacob's Worth to help in finding her. Identifying the plant grants the book entry on Solomon's Sceptre

	+ Peggy Morris, she requests an unknown ornamental plant with curled leaves and a dark blue flower. Lady of Summer is the plant she is seeking.
	+ Arthur Cook, he requests Forest Camphry
* Ennis Aleford visits next, stating "We've had our eye on you for some time now. Join us, praise the Dendrew". He drops off a letter
> I represent a group called the Seeds of Redemption. Your expertise would be very useful to us and we have much to offer in return. Let us know we can count on you by leaving a single St John's Poppy flower outside the Sadgill church before Friday. Do not make the mistake of ignoring us. Praise the Dendrew.

## Travels

* From the clue card (O17)

>
>

* After receiving the map from Eleanor Bramer, head to the spot marked on the map (F2])
> The air is thick with flying, biting insects, an unbearable plague, I fight against it for mere moments before I am overwhelmed. If only I had some Blue Winter to keep them at bay
>
>

Identifying Winterbore (a.k.a. Blue Winter) allows the player to continue
> The Blue Winter saves my skin but the swirling mass of insects is so thick in places that it is hard to see. At length I come across what I came for and hurry away.
