Falthor- Yes, autumn does seem to be the reference. But it can't be that cut and dry. The first part, 'Blackwind blows' is present tense. So the autumn must be symbolic of something...

Falthor- I think we should keep this in mind, but I'm not sure we have enough to crack it as yet. Time to go back to your plan, I think. We'll ask at the Grand Epicrin, see what we can find out.
Assuming the others would consent to this course of action, they were off.
Official - "This is the worst tithe I've ever seen. No one in the world wants this. I'm going to accept it solely to keep anyone from being bothered about buying it ever again."
**If it's really accepted Yack attempts to learn "best in show". After the initial sentinal training and edge training if applicable, Yack wanders through the garden to find his bondmate.
The man soon finds an Aye-Aye clutching a tree, its normally black hands red with dried blood and a white feather in its teeth.** Aye-Aye - I did it. Yes, for us and for them I did it.
**Yack nods and motions for the animal to follow. The baby coos.**

Several days later Yack returns to offer another tithe - 50g. If it is accepted he requests for aid in unlocking the "Wild Potential" of his landshark.
Voli looks around nervously, trying to figure out what to do in this situation. He found the person necessary and undefined things happened, including herbalism and tracking training. He then happily seeks out his bondmate. Surely it would be some epic creature as awesomely strong as he! What he comes across is a tiny pin-tailed whydah finch. "Go away, bird! I'm lookin' for my bondmate!" It was a brave bird, but still just a bird.
"Oi! I am your bondmate, boy. So get used to it," the little finch said, as if speaking directly in Voli's head.
Voli blinked at the tiny bird, unsure if this was how it was supposed to work. But...well, wouldn't a bondmate know that? "Er, okay. Let's go then, I guess." With that, he turned to to head back to Jeb. The little finch landed on his shoulder and sat there quietly, perhaps a little smug.

Adelmo entered the blooming tower, finding a sentinel who would except his entrance tithe. With that done and his induction complete, Adelmo departed the city and headed into the Sekoras.
Diarnan entered ahead of Yack and his mini circus, running and bouncing into the great hall. He eyed the water wearily before producing a petal from the nightvine flower as his tithe.

The little bird 'spoke.' "He can't understand me. Only you can. You may call me Pin." Then he gestured with his wing to Jeb.
Voli grumbled at the bossy little bird. Then he looked to Jeb. "He says his name is Pin."
