 ==== Character Story: Part IV ====
+//Greetings, Esteemed Preceptors://
+//Star Calendar ■ day of ■ month, ■■■■, routine examination of Lady Bailu, concise notes as follows://
+//Still no physical change in the high elder. She has not grown. This is not unusual as slow development is common among Vidyadhara. I am more concerned about her having no dreams than the slow growth of her body.//
+//All past high elders, after receiving the "Orb of Abysm" and the "Transmutation Arcanum," will re-experience the events of their dragon ancestors' lives in dreams. The Office of Deep Sources is charged with transcribing, retelling, and annotating these dreams, and their files run to an enormous number of volumes. Although such dreams tend to be fragmentary and difficult to understand or interpret, it is after all the only way our kind have of coming close to Permanence. Yet Lady Bailu has experienced nothing of this sort. It is apparent that either her dragon heart is in some way damaged, or the "Transmutation Arcanum" has not been carried through in full.//
+//Furthermore, since the high elder has already demonstrated her powers of calling lightning and commanding the waters, I have instructed one of our finest crafters to make the Dragonhorn Pilory to shackle her tail, to prevent a loss of control over her powers and a repeat of the disaster of the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae.//
+//Also, we received a missive from Caelorum Venti of the Yaoqing some months ago, inquiring into the present condition of Lady Bailu. I have replied as you instructed, esteemed elders. The gist of my reply was that Lady Bailu is still young and in need of the assistance of the Preceptors. Only after her coming-of-age ceremony will the Preceptors confer the title of Imbibitor Lunae on her.//

+//Respectfully yours, Yunyou, attendant to the High Elder.//
