Episode 10: February 6

### Recap

They travelled to Tummel where they met Summa and Icarion. Didn't get much information, but Oswald did use the Locate Object scroll and saw that there were many fey items to the south.

### Overview

#### Vision

* In the early hours of the morning, you begin to dream. You find yourself surrounded by trees. They're tall and grow densely all around you so that you can't see anything beyond them. You move onto a nearby outcropping where there's a break in the trees and see that it continues for miles all around you. It is wild and vast and only broken by mountain peeks rising above it. Far in the distance there seems to be the glimmer of water. Closer by, there are the lowland peeks that gather around taller mountains that rise white with snow. Your eyes follow the rise and fall of the range, peek after peek, each one taller than the last, until you see what you can't make sense of: the tallest mountain doesn't end in a cap, but instead grows wide again, unfurling itself into lower ranges and foothills until finally, it stretches out into valleys and fields. You look straight above and feel vertigo overtake you for a moment; though your feet are firmly planted on the ground, instead of sky above you, there is another plane filled with lakes and farms and orchards. And then you wake up and the red cord around your neck is warm.

#### At the Castle

* When they return to Phenian's castle, they're brought in to discuss the terms and learn more information. After delivering they information, they'll be allowed to formulate a plan and discuss the details in private over dinner. After, they will meet Phenian again and receive the promised materials.

	+ Culture
		- Family
			* Siannodel family, lives in the Castle of Galan Serin
			* They are the House of the Moon, their name meaning Moonbrook; their titles are in relation to their house, and not the overall Fey structure, though they are the most powerful Seelie in Ruathym (called Galan Serin by the Fey)
			* King Neveriss, Queen Merrow, Princess Corrag
		- Seelie vs Unseelie
			* Seelie are the Fey of the Summer court, ruled by Queen Titania. They favor ceremony and refinement. They care about physical appearances and proper behavior.
			* Unseelie are the Fey of The Gloaming Court, ruled by the Queen of Air and Darkness. They live more as a part of nature, and while they don't care for courtly manners, they follow superstitions just as tightly as the Seelie follow rules.
		- Contracts
			* Do not get yourself into a contract with a fey; this includes the giving or receiving of gifts.
		- Entering the Feywild
			* You'll need to make it through a labyrinth. It's different every time, but we have the keys: one each of emerald, sapphire, pearl, and ruby
		- Food rations
			* Three weeks of rations given, appropriate to the person's size
		- Clothing
			* Fancy clothes for the court
	+ Payment

## Notes

### Labyrinth of Eveningfall

* Tried casting the appropriate spell on the appropriate circle, but only did Message (transmutation). They'll need to do that on the correct stone.
* Went to area 1; placed correct stone (Emerald) and saw the sign appear. Fought (and beat) the gelatinous cube; they have not taken the stone back yet.
