Whereas Staemos flaunted any ground gained over Cejanis in their verbal sparring, Icheka’s contributions consisted in complimentary points or order and alternate avenues for policy adoption, gaining a measure of Cejanis’ respect at the cost of flattering her towering ego. Neither has failed to notice the other’s continued presence in the Deliberative, but the relationship has been a source of reassurance rather than antagonism.

		+	'''Ties to the Party:'''
		+	Ledaal Shinjo:
		+	Shinjo was first made aware of Icheka when the two of them acted together in plays at the Academy, and although Icheka has yet to pursue a direct role in theatre, his appreciation of skilled wit invariably places him in the audience at Shinjo’s plays. In light of Miasa’s continued interest in Shinjo, and recalling the tension between Shinjo and Sorae from the Academy, Icheka has seen to broadening the playwright’s perspective on amorous adventures; when the opportunity presents itself, he encourages Shinjo to sample a calibre of carnal expertise possessed only by Dynasts who have enjoyed many decades of practice.
		+
		+	Ragara Thannak-Tyros:
		+	Tyros and Icheka’s similar proficiency at the rudiments of armed and unarmed combat frequently saw them paired as sparring partners at the Academy. Although their interactions off the practice yard were infrequent, they made the most of their time together by layering discussions of geomancy and magitek over the flurry of strikes and blocks between them.
		+
		+	Sesus Septimus:
		+	Similar to Cathak Okubo’s choice to eschew the company of his cohort in favour of the Form below him, Septimus found common ground with the younger unexalted students, including Icheka. What began as a protective relationship against the predations of senior bullying grew into a real friendship. Icheka reassured Septimus that those who lived by the Dragons’ virtues would achieve exaltation, a prediction that bore fruit months later as Septimus came to temper his Chenow ferocity with a charitable and protective spirit toward those of lesser might.
		+
		+	Tepet Sorae:
		+	Icheka’s relationship with Tepet Sorae was a distant one during their Academy days, but slowly began anew after their graduation from their respective Secondary schools. Their paths crossed during Sorae’s pregnancy, when she was a guest of Sesus Kimiasha and Icheka was a guest of Sesus Indira. Mutual attendance at Indira’s parties and Shinjo’s plays provided opportunities for Icheka and Sorae to become reacquainted, and although they are not close, they’ve come to enjoy a relaxed familiarity with one another.

 Indira is a middle-aged Sesus Dynast, the mistress of her House's social scene in the Imperial Palace, concerned with fashion and galas and social matters rather than the more direct politics of House, Scales, or Deliberative.  The Sesus branch heads in the City, being more concerned with those
 sort of things, have let her claim a great deal of social authority.  It was Indira who first approached Icheka, after overhearing praise of Icheka by Sesus Tegra at one of her parties, who had been impressed by the young Water aspect's admirable service to Mnemon Caras.  Indira invited Icheka to lunch the following day, and saw immediately that he would be a great asset in her social circles, and he has been a frequent guest at her events ever since.

-A pair of slender blade jade hook daiklaives whose edges are rippled like ocean waves.
+Slender rippled blades emerge from sculpted jade wave crests rising from the knuckle plates of these fingerless gauntlets.  They were given in trust to Icheka with the expectation that he strive to ensure that he and his fellow Dragon-Blooded are competent and just stewards of Creation.  For more information on the views of the Paragon of Daana'd, see Blessed Isle p. 83-84.

-All of the above items were provided to Icheka by the bloodline of Mnemon Caras.  The hook daiklaives and armour belonged to Mnemon Karahgil, who slew an Anathema during a Wyld Hunt in the Southern mountain ranges by triggering an avalanche.  Karaghil intercepted the Anathema's charge at his comrades by tackling it over the ridge opposite the Hunt.  When Karaghil's comrades dug him out, both he and the Anathema were dead, each crushed as much by their opponent's fearsome grip as they were by the tons of granite around them.

 '''Manses & Hearthstones'''
 Virtue's Pedestal (Level 1 Earth Manse)
-Near the western rocky hills of Incas, there stands a hollow pentagonal pillar of marble 200 feet tall.  It's outer surface is a rough-hewn and dull, but inside it is encrusted like a geode, and the millions of facets sparkle in the sunlight streaming through the skylight.  Despite its enthusiastic glittering, the Pedestal demands more respect of it majesty than gaiety at its display.  The manse produces the Gem of Dignity (1-dot Earth; Oadenol's Codex p. 88).

-Nestled in a hollow near the Flawless Rill Freehold is a grotto with a waterfall cascading almost lazily down a series of terraces into a shallow pool.  The pool is surrounded and overhung by a glade of willows, giving the locale a cozy feel.  Staring into the pool, one sees a confluence of willow branches entwined around an irregular, blue-white orb.  Reaching into the pool's reflection, one can pluck out the  image of the orb, finding that they now hold the Stone of Recognition (Oadenol's Codex p. 96).

 Vale of Still Water (Level 2 Water Manse)
-It was through Icheka's mentor, Inexorable Tide, that he was allowed to attune to this manse.  Southwest of the Palace Sublime in a narrow canyon, each of whose walls is covered by a layer of water at least 10 feet deep and utterly undisturbed by the elements such that it presents a perfectly mirrored surface.  Immaculate monks with the vale to contemplate their most private doubts and personal trials of faith.  The Vale of Still water produces a Mind-Cleansing Gem (2-dot water; Oadenol's Codex p. 96) front a delicate stalagmite mid-way between the canyon walls.
