__NOTOC__

[[Ceryaen]] glances at a simple ecosphere and inclines her head.  "Your ecosphere is progressing nicely, [name].  I believe it is time for us to unlock greater secrets within."  She reaches out and cradles the {{ilink|i|simple ecosphere}} gently in her webbed hand.  A silvery glow pulses slowly, and after many moments, it finally fades.

Arbiter Ceryaen hands a <hemispherical> ecosphere dangling from a <braided> <damite> chain back, and you are certain that it is different than before.

==Study==
The hemispherical ecosphere is a special gift earned, not given, by helping the [[Merelew]] during a time of need.  The lifeforms within, both plant and animal alike, are given special blessings for a long, healthful life.  The blessings depend on the one who earned it, and the Merelew consider it a great dishonor to lose or give away the ecosphere.

'''Added for HE 439:''' You believe you could RAISE the spherical ecosphere to summon an unstable ripplegate to visit Ceryaen, though this magic is fleeting and only persists when Andreshlew is near.

While the Merelew welcome visitors to [[Andreshlew]], the hemispherical ecosphere serves as a vessel of honor and a record of deeds.  Representatives from the [[:Category:Merelew factions|major factions]] would appreciate you {{com|SHOW}}ing it to them to support their cause.

'''[While you can convey your support to any representative, your standing with all others will be reduced by half the amount when you do so.  It is advised that you choose a single faction to support this visit.  Support will not be taken back or undone by staff.  Use care.]'''
