Sextes Jylis' Waystones
Sylenia's final choice of manse architect for the Waystone project was Sesus Ophelia. Ophelia was rumoured to be extremely reluctant to join the project, swearing up and down that it was a vast waste of time and resources. Still, she ultimately took part, becoming as enthusiastic as anyone else. Ophelia was also convinced that someone would try to destroy the Waystone project, and began searching for ways to keep her 'children' safe. This search led her into the city of Denadsor in R.Y. 461, from which she never returned.
Waystones of Sextes Jylis take the form of large gazebos, with vines running up and down their lengths and a simple stone altar in their centres. Each of the five pillars of the manses are designed in the shape of Sextes Jylis, in his human form.
Game Mechanics
Manse Level 2.
Drawbacks: Habitability 2 (Small and open-air)
Powers:
Dangerous Traps (2 pts): Whenever the Manse is damaged, its traps immediately spring, attacking those who strike it. The first such trap is that the vines around the pillars immediately fall downwards, cutting off escape. Anyone pushing their way through the vines or standing within a yard of them is attacked (8 dice accuracy, Speed 5, Damage 5L piercing). This can be undone by fighting back; each pillar's vines have the Manse's soak, but only four health levels. In addition, a copy of the wire trap will trigger, except that they are strands of plant instead of wire and sharp brambles instead of swords.
Pasiap's Buried Whiskers (2 pts): The manse can prepare itself for trouble. Its senses extend 400 yards in every direction, and it will react to people who threaten it from that range (although it can do very little if they do not approach).
Subtle Breath of Sextes Jylis (1 pt): The gazebo is in tune with the Wood Dragon's gentle side usually, drawing songbirds and friendly animals and pushing away carnivores and insects. Its temperate is usually as warm as a fine spring day, and soft lights glow from the branches even at night.
Well-Flavoured Aspect (1 pt): The area inside a Waystone of Sextes Jylis resonates with the Wood Dragon. All Wood-aspected Dragon-Bloods gain +1 die to all rolls while they are within the manse's area.
All Waystones of Sextes Jylis are designed to produce two Hearthstones: a Stone of Shelter and a Stone of the Emerald Rooster (both Oedanol's Codex, page 99). These are held in both hands of whichever statue of Sextes Jylis faces away from the most common entry into the gazebo.
