A report from the world as I see it
After our talk at Spellgard I have decided to put some of my archive at home in Clover into writing dedicating this report to the state of the world we live in and the weave that wraps inself around it.
The places where the weave is/has been hurt
There are a number of places where the weave is hurting, some are extensivly mapped by our fine clergy. Others are forgotten and not visited much.
So far I have heard to three areas on Mistone, the first one has been there for quite some time. The Dark Peaks of the Watchers continues to be hurt after the accident that happened up there, thankfully this isn't spreading to the surounding areas but still the place has a disturbing about of cluttered weave. The other two places has been cleared within months or so of them occouring. Here I speak of the small wild magic sourge in the Swamps just outside Hlint and the Welke farm outside Llast. Other than that the weave seems fine on Mistone.
Alindor has been spared from the huge disasters except the tower outside Homestead in which a major magical rift was caused. This was cleared a few years after by some of the people who caused it with a little help from me. So the weave is still recovering in that area, but it will mend soon.
Dregar has the Great Rift and the Thunderpeaks, I am not sure if it is the weave itself or some powerfull caster who is stopping it in either of these locations. Safe to say though these places has been bad for quite a while and continues to show signs of damage.
The Rohen islands are also home of a few disturbances, the Emerald Crypt itself where the lich seems to be holding the weave back in part of his crypt for his own protection. And then there is the old ruins where the strands of time slowly has covered the reason why the weave is all cluttered and hurt there.
On Belinara everything seems fine on the surface I have yet to see a place wher the weave is hurting, but I am sure I just haven't searched enough there but we will see, so far there are plenty of things to do on all the other continents and if we work together I am sure the weave will flow freely over all of the lands soon enough.
The general standing amoung the population
While our church stands against great challenges on the front of the betterment of the weave we also face a problem with reaching the people. Many suspects that we are an exclusive club who doesn't want anyone learn in the name of the lady. They question our metods and generally just spreads lies and bad rumours about Lucinda. So I would suggest that we do more to gain more members of the faith instead of just leaning back being content with the people we have now in Spellgard and Blackford but try our best to spread the word of Lucinda as the caring godess who makes sure that magic is used by her good intentions.
Maybe opening up a few seminars and such at Spellgard for the curious would be a good idea and even more so would it be working on a gathering by one of the shrines we have around the world. Other than that we seem to be at a good standing with most and our effords will be praised as soon as we have worked to make the weave flow freely everywhere.
Our own organisation
Well as I see it now we are strong when it comes to this, however many aren't placed in the right possition and people does little but train for something forth comming. I suggest that we try moving out to strike threats before the emerge and moves a little quicker than we have before as long as we remember to do everything we do in the best interest of the Lady herself. So far I like what I see back in Spellgard we just have to make sure that we keep the wheel moving and end up training ourselves for something that may never come while the weave continues to be hurt and suffer without our pressence where it is needed.

[INDENT]Protector Storold Doesscha:
Thank you for your thorough report and for continuing to follow up on these threats to our Lady and Her Weave. I have passed copies of your report onto both the Ardhon Gis and and the Akh'faern Gis, as well as to the Tower, though without a proper Caller, I don't know how much help they will be. Of course the Wards have been observing the more significant and well-known disturbances, but your additional information and assistance on the lesser and more temporary problems have been very valuable and appreciated.
I have read with interest your thoughts on our image and our standing within the population. To some degree, I surely share these perspectives. After some reflection, it occurred to me that often, the best way to win the support of the population, and thereby increasing Her faithful as well, is to show by example, not lecture. It is unfortunate that on this continent, there is such a strong presence of Her enemy, who does not apparently shy away from making his will known to the population. The dark times, which are thankfully behind us, seem to have given the people a desire for that which he offers. Our best counter for this simply to show people by example, to show them Her gifts and Her generosity and to start them on a path toward a love of the Weave and all its bounties. That is, after all, what we are protecting.
Even so, for our sect, a dedicated recruitment effort has been very effective in the past. I encourage you to continue as you have been.
May Lucinda smile upon all your efforts,
Vairpelekt Jairen Trier
