@subsection(Clan Bluemist)

The Bluemist Valley is a strange and wondrous land, filled with beasts
and plants that are unknown to the rest of the Clanlands, and it was
in that teeming miasma of new life that your ancestors took root and
conquered.  Even today, the secrets of life are predominantly yours to
explore, and the Bluemist Valley is defended by powerful and
well-trained beasts who patrol its borders.

Many of the products of your Clan have become commonly distributed
throughout the Clanlands.  The zwoots, for example, are in great use
among the Goldenfields and the Greystones, for a better beast of
burden has never been bred.   The richer and more powerful among the
People have taken to riding pegasi as status symbols, as well as for
their practical applications, and some have even taken to keeping
young dragons in their stables.  And with each purchase, the coffers
of Clan Bluemist have swelled.

Also, many secrets of the animal kingdom are yours alone to know.  The
hatchwing's intelligence, for example -- a secret they choose to keep,
but which they share with their creators.  And the oft-misrepresented
propensities of the unicorn, a beast that may be tamed only by the
truly pure at heart.  These and more are your secrets, the heritage of
Bluemist.  

It is perhaps no surprise, then, that one of your most renowned
fighters, Storm Darkcloud, rose to fame, then infamy, as the Assassin.
Nevertheless, Storm's betrayal of the Clans by embracing the ways of
magic has been a source of great shame to your people.  

Although this Castle, a magical artifact if ever there was one, is an
unusual place for a peace summit to be held, it is held here of
necessity, out of lack of any neutral ground.  Still, the unusual
events of the last two days have caused many of you to question this
"necessity" -- and one of those events has had a specific meaning to
those of your Clan.  For unknown reasons, many of the beasts that
Kalerege kept trapped in his menagerie escaped shortly after you were
all trapped here; you have all been attempting to rescue and subdue
them.  Many have died, many have been injured, and many of those born
with special abilities, the descendants of the Bluemist Valley, have
had those abilities taken from them -- pegasi have lost their flight,
salamanders their flame, and so forth.  It will undoubtedly fall to
your Clan to find the cause of this malaise and determine what threat
it may pose.
