The Hour of Argument is a Sunless Skies Story Event.
Story description[]
The piping of the Adamant Idol has become a military march. It is the Hour of Argument, when Pan's inhabitants gather at the forum to resolve matters that can't be settled through a payment, a duel, or a murder. The artists of the Neonocturnal school maintain the forum. Their sculptures of long-limbed ecstatics litter the stage.

| Listen and observe
The current Cypress King presides over the debates, making rulings if an agreement can't be reached.

The King's decision
The muddy-fingered gardeners of the Heart-Catchers quarrel with a cell of revolutionaries from Winter's Reside. Each side threatens to reveal the other's secrets, dropping heavy hints to prove how serious they are. The King makes a ruling. Neither side is happy.

Game note: Receive a Savage Secret or a Vision of the Heavens. |

| Watching the audience
Representatives of Pan's many factions crowd the stone seats. The revolutionaries of Winter's Reside, each wearing a flash of red. The placid gardeners of the Heart-Catchers. A crowd of flamboyant Neonocturnals. And a dozen other minor cults and coteries, colourful in Eleutheria's velvet darkness.
Even a representative of the Brazen Brigade is here, a look of profound distaste on his elegant face. The Brigade dislikes anything that smacks of republicanism, in the same way that someone who once experienced bad prawns has no desire to do so again.

| Partake of the feast
Not killing each other is hungry work. A feast is provided each session, to keep things civil.

|
Cornucopia
Tables at one side of the forum are laden with spiny burgundy fruit, wizened nodules you decide to imagine are nuts, and skewers of smoked meats.
Pan's groves have learned to bloom in the dark, and the lower territories of the city are overgrown with fertile vines, combed by foragers.

Advanced alteration value probably needs examination.
