What Has Gone Before
Having tracked down a coven of hags on Westover, Bishop & Bower have found and combined two books of shadows. Aside from some concert spells, the ITN of a steganographic demon is revealed in the reconstituted grimoire. This, it turns out, is the key to a message concealed in a von Thurn und Taxis stamp of a plough upon a field of grain.The message of the stamp reads "Lord of the Dew". Two other stamps remain:

Hyades, orange-eyed bronze bull

Important notes

On New Terra

Germany has "invaded" Sudetenland, then advanced column upon column of infantry and armour, positioning them for an obvious attack against Slovakia and Hungary. Britain has declared war, although Poland has not been attacked yet. A lightning strike against Belgium has left it conquered and demoralised, a staging post for an assault upon France.

Italy has landed troops in Libya, staging for an attack against the British holdings in Egypt.

On Reigh

The Black Star conspiracy has a multi-millenia history. Its membership includes a few undying, possibly a few non-humans, but the greatest proportion of its membership (including its leadership) is mortal humanity. They have a burning desire to see the end of immortals, although their reasons are not clear.

Their sicherdienst arm is the Holy Vehm, many of whom have been exposed to one or more Ubermensch programs, and all are highly trained. And yes, some of them are sufficiently fanatical to be able to use Pureheart Charms.

The Nazi apparatus has been infiltrated, in partuclar der Bestellung des Eisenbahn Ritus by members of the Black Star.

On Westover

Hag covens have been very quiet of late.

Awarded to

Tsayoi

Enhanced Healing

Exp. Mult.: 350
Effects: This Racial Talent allows someone to restore themself as if they practised the Healer profession at Rank 10. The number of Ranks they may apply to herself in any given day is equal to their Rank in this Talent to a maximum of 10. This does not cost any FT, requires no Action but takes as much time as if they were a Rank 10 Healer. They may not, however, Transfer Fatigue, Preserve the Dead, Resurrect, nor may they Regenerate Vital Organs when they are their heart or brain. Indeed, they may not use this Talent at all if they is dead, although it will work if they are unconscious.

Example

Tsayoi has the Talent at Rank 10, has taken 17 points of EN damage, had a hand amputated and is suffering from a bleeder. The bleeder requires Rank 1 Healer to cure, reattaching the hand requires Rank 7, the lost EN will require Rank 3, so Tsayoi cannot cure the EN loss until the next day.

Dissipation

Three times a week, Tsayoi may dissipate a spell by means Preparing and Casting an Extinguish spell at a target within range. The spell to be Dissipated must be named and he must be wielding a holy weapon at the same time. The target may avoid the effect by Breaking (100 + Rank in Extinguish) => 2 x MA. This ability resets at noon on Sunday.

Fire Gate

Range: Rank² x 10 miles (min 10 miles)
Duration: 10 mins x Rank (min 10 mins)
Experience Multiple: 550
Base Chance: 1% (+ Rank in Second Sight, if known)
Resist: None
Storage: None
Target: Area
Effects: This spell allows the Adept to travel to a fire gate that they have set up and that is within range. A roaring column of fire appears in front of the Adept, twisting off in the direction of the fire gate, fading after about 30 feet or so.
The gate is one hex wide. The Adept can increase this by spending three FT per additional hex. In general, a multi-hex creature will need a gate as wide as the number of hexes they occupy, although the DM can rule otherwise. Entering the gate strips all travellers of FT.
The aperture of the gate closes after Rank number of entities enter it or the Adept does, whichever comes first. The Adept can dismiss the gate at any time. Travellers exit in the order they entered. There must be space for them to do so, otherwise they and all subsequent travellers will be instantly returned to their point of origin.
For ease of calculation, the distance is covered at a rate of 60 miles per hour x Rank (Rank miles per minute). However, although the travel takes time, the distance is not actually traversed. Nevertheless, the wormhole's path must be unimpeded, it cannot pass through barriers like closed doors or windows, etc. Nor may it intersect or become adjacent to any ferrous metal.
This spell will not cross bodies of water, solid matter, vacuum or voids.
The Adept will need to sacrifice 1,000 Experience to be able to return to a fire gate which is not alight at the time the spell is cast.
This spell is not teachable.
