The Glittering Oasis
Powers: Comfortable x2, 1 Conveniences 

An oasis in the middle of the desert seas of the southern continent. On the outside, it appears to be a cavern surrounded by palm trees and small bushes, shrubs, and other greenery with a small entrance. Once inside, the cavern is much cooler than the outside. There are stone steps that lead further down inside the cavern and lead to a small, underground beach with dark sands and a large lake of glittering water. The lake is shallow (3 feet) but gets deeper the further out you go from the beach (7-10 feet). On the other side of the lake is another beach and a tunnel in the cavern wall. The tunnel leads to a small, hallowed out room inside the belly of the cavern with walls that have a finely polished surface and have been smoothed as to show a person's reflection should they stand close enough to the wall. In the middle of the room is a small, cracked pedestal with cracks that periodically glow with blue energies that intensify whenever the manse's owner grows near. Housed on the pedestal is the manse's hearthstone (or when taken, a deep imprint of where the hearthstone should be.) 

Stone of Recognition (+2 Dice to social attack vs. convincing target to trust hearthstone's bearer or convincing target to believe something. Whenever the bearer wishes, her player and the player of a designated target make a reflexive and resisted (Willpower + Essence) roll. If the target’s player fails, that character assumes he has either met or heard of the bearer before and thinks well of her. On a botch, the target has positive memories of spending time with or hearing many stories about the bearer and considers her a good and honorable person whom he likes.)
