Actions	Requirements	Effects	Notes
Wake The little white flower offers its potency. Crush, bite.	1 x White Mollyflower	Crush, bite. The cold rushes in on you. There is no light, no fruit, no imported summer. There are no lithe dancers. The shapes in the water aren't even fully visible, but they are not human, and they do not worship you. They are, at best, indifferent. Their dance is sincere in its fashion, however. They celebrate the fruits of the sea. They welcome the newly drowned. They look forward to a day when Dahut is as large and as populous as Paris or London, with streets and streets of wrecked vessels and lost cargoes. -1 x White Mollyflower Dahut: Enthralment = 0 Dahut: Clarity = 0 Dahut: Length of stay = 10 +1 x Extraordinary Implication +1 x Secret +10 x Terror Triggers event: Dahut
