Editing Campaign:Oceans Exalted/Swift Death Descends (section)

=== Manses and Hearthstones ===
'''Windhands Gemstone:'''
*Air Manse, Rating 3<br/>4xp Flickering Fire 2<br/>
The bearer of this hearthstone can apply their Dodge or Parry DV to ranged attacks without any penalties, and to parry lethal ranged attacks unarmed without a stunt.  This does not refresh DV, only removes DV penalties.<br/>

This Manse is Swift's old stomping ground in the north, an Aerie perched high on a mountaintop, only reachable by flight or a very determined climber.  It has spacious rooms connected by wide three dimensional hallways, and a gentle warm breeze flows through it despite the chill outside.  In the past it was a place for celebration, but now it lies empty, filled only with mementos of lost glory.  He makes a yearly inspection of the manse to make sure everything is in order, chase out any squatters, and to reminisce about the days of greatness.<br/>

'''Gemstone of Shadows:'''
* Lunar Manse (Celestial), Rating 1<br/>
The bearer of this hearthstone can summon a sphere of shadows up to two yards in diameter around themselves.  The bearer can see out of the shadows clearly, but those looking in can only see indistinct shapes, increasing the difficulty to spot or recognize them by 2, higher if the surroundings are also dark and shadowy.  Regardless of location, the bearer gets a +1 bonus to their Dodge and Parry DV's against ranged attacks while in these shadows.<br/>

This is a small apartment by the standards of yu-shan, or an incredible townhouse by the standards of Creation.  It sits in the shadow cast by a larger building, mostly built to cap a demesne.  It is Swift's house, although his Home is the sky.  It is furnished with Dragon King technologies, some part of it's design, others picked up on his travels.  There is a vault in the basement where his Salary is deposited, as it is rare for him to be present when it arrives.  The hearthstone chamber is actually an unassuming broom closet in a dark corner, which only becomes obvious once you realize the carpet is self-cleaning, so there is no need for brooms, or a closet to hold them.
