Ivory Eyes surveys the Kri, it's defiance coaxing a measure of pity into her actions and gestures. "This city is built upon the ruins of a First Age complex, or so I am told," she explains. "We seek your help to survey and construct a tunnel into the ruins--preferably one that did not impinge upon the fields of Lotus. If you will help us, we can provide you with essence. If you wish to remain, we will see you placed into the local Spirit Court, given a measure of prayer. I've not yet surveyed the geomancy of the area, but manses are an innevitability, and you could have your roam of them once built. Or, if you request, I can send you back to wherever you were. Will you help, spirit--oh, I'm sorry," she says, standing up to reveal her childlike height.

"I've not yet even learned your name. I am Ivory Eyes."
