==The Bespectacled Official== ''"He greets you at his customary table in the park, wearing a warm smile so genuine, it must be practised. "Ah, [[Addressed As#SpeechFormal|Addressed As(SpeechFormal)]]. Will you join me in playing my favourite game?" It is clear he is not speaking of mahjong, though the table is set and ready for a polite round."''<p></p> <big>'''Trigger conditions'''</big> [[File:eaglesempyrean icon.png|23px]] [[Known to the Bespectacled Official]] β₯ 1 <br> <big>'''Interactions'''</big> {| class='ss-table' style='width:100%;' !style='width:15%;'| Actions !style='width:30%;'| Requirements !style='width:40%;'| Effects !style='width:15%;'| Notes |- | {{effect title|Play a game of mahjong with the Official}} <div>The air is warm, the tea is hot, the moon is burning bright.

"There's value in being comfortable with both sides," he says. "I spent some time in London myself, many years ago. A fine place. Fine people. Alas, family duties called, as did my current position serving the Rose-Without-Thorns. I do still like to keep up with the latest gossip, however.

He points to the bright moon and smiles proudly. "It's almost all that stands between us and the night. That intimidates some. Not me. I find it reassuring. Human invention can conquer the Wilderness, and the dark that floods across it.

"Have you heard talk of Midnight's Favour? It's a tea grown in Achlys. My interest in the beverage itself is purely personal β I hope to try it one day.
