[ TASK ] Introduce human visitors to the less...visceral aspects of you clan's culture. Have them leave with both a pleasant impression and a nice souvenir
The Clans have moved forward from their traditional roots in many ways to better infiltrate and influence the human world. However, these traditions are not something to be simply tossed away and forgotten, but rather cherished and occasionally shared with outsiders.
Your horseman has been selected to show off one of the human-friendly aspects of their clan's culture. In traditional clothing, they'll be expected to introduce a small group of humans. It can be a class or demonstration, a display or lecture of sorts.
No rolls needed.
You can choose to focus on what they teach or simply handwave that and focus on any troubles or successes your character has with the group instead. If you'd like detailed information to draw on, this is a link to horseman job classes, the canon tower, and the spoilers in this post include many many classes that involve each clans culture before the islands were destroyed.
[ UPON COMPLETION ]
+1 Raffle Ticket (you can only claim a MAX of 3 per player this way!)
+5 Currency
+1 Arcana Bonus

Tea bags? 10 tonnes of sugar? Putting in the milk before pouring in the tea? The sheer horror. One of them even had the audacity to call it hot leaf water.
No no no, this will not do. Today she was going to show them how to enjoy a proper cup of well-brewed tea and not the debauchery that was being sold in those “supermarkets”. How on earth they had managed to rob tea of all its aromas and subtle taste was beyond her understanding.
“There are many traditions of tea ceremony, all of which have their own merits and cultural significance. Today I am going to demonstrate a simple tea ceremony with the use of an Yixing tea set.” She began to set up the teacups and teapot by rinsing them in hot water.
“Yixing teasets are made of unglazed clay, which over time, absorb the flavours of the tea that are brewed and served with them to produce complex flavours. It is recommended that each tea set is dedicated to one type of tea only for this reason. I hope by now you would also know not to use boiling water on the white tea we are brewing today, as that will burn the tea leaves and make it bitter.”
“The first infusion is not meant to be taken, instead it will be used to pour over the teapot to warm it up. Subsequent infusions will produce a stronger aroma as the tea leaves are gradually activated, and that is the tea we will enjoy-”
Her explanation was immediately cut short as she spotted one of the attendees attempting to add sugar into the teacup, sending her flying towards them to smack it out of their hands. There were many other questions that caused her no small amount of despair as the session went on, but by the end of it she hoped that she was able to impart an appreciation for traditionally prepared tea. Or not. Go back to that terrible sweetened tea for all she cared and leave her precious tea sets alone.
