Merits and Intimacies
Merits
- Contacts 3 (Intelligentsia)
- As the mistress of the premier non-Immaculate centre of learning in the region, Hieroglyph has the ear of a wide range of correspondents and a roll of many former students.
- Influence 3 (Mistress of the Verdant Solarium)
- She also has access to the resources and connections of the Solarium itself, an oasis of dozens of scholars, hundreds of students, and thousands of merchants, soldiers, peasants and slaves sustained by its water and wealth.
- Language 2 (Flametongue, Old Realm, High Realm)
- Manse 3 (Verdant Solarium)
- Clear and sweet fountains feeding pools and hanging gardens, behind walls of glass and sandstone. A poolside resort school. The manse yields the Fountain-Summoning Stone.
- Martial Artist 4
- Mentor 2 (Monarch of White Feathers and Gold Touchstones, Crane divinity and martial arts tutor)
- The divine mother of cranes who alighted in the Solarium when Hieroglyph exalted, already having seen through her nature. She convinced Hieroglyph of the inevitability of violence and chaos in the coming age of sorrows, and has begun training her and her students in martial arts fit to blunt this.
- Resources 3
- The Solarium takes subscriptions from local notables eager to be seen sponsoring religion and learning, not to mention grateful former students and those who wish to prop up institutions independent of the Realm and its Immaculates. They also sell salt, manufactures and services produced in or near the Solarium, and tax trade that goes via the watering point.

Inventory
Fountain-Summoning Stone
- This hearthstone is a dark oval emerald, cold and moist to the touch. If the Fountain-Summoning Stone is buried in the soil and left undisturbed for a short period (ranging from a minute in fertile riverlands to half an hour in the desert), it will presently spring back to the surface atop a gushing fountain of water, which persists until the sun rises and sets. The Fountain-Summoning Stone won’t operate anywhere that a spring couldn’t possibly appear, such as a balcony garden or in a barrel of soil aboard a ship.
