Misread Coats post, I'll edit my minor actions into my Early Winter plan.
Not a lot but there's some on the mountains.
would I be able to get some to bring with me for the tree, or would that take a Minor? Stored in my Fylgja, so 4 big chunks, if possible
That's pushing it a little but I'll allow it if Astra (@theknightofiron ) lets you use her Tier 3 Mountain.

A piece of hair from an enemy. Maybe an enemy too brash, too hot-headed. But really, Alfvin's options are.. do it himself, or let Klaus pay himself to the bone to do it. The - then he corrects himself - other two would then have to choose to make an enemy of Klaus or make an enemy of Alfvin. Knowingly or not. Hardly seems fair to hoist his problems on them.
Either way if that happened there would be no avoiding a feud spiral with Klaus and Brenda's clan. But if he does this maybe there's a different fate down the line. It's not like he has a choice, does he? This was his own nature. However he rationalizes it, still he will do it. Shapecrafting exacted many prices as his unfortunate compatriots could attest, but not of this.
Alfvin doesn't say anything to Astrid after bringing her back to life. His face is still a smile, the same smile he has, though of course that makes it unknown if it's a real smile. Maybe the Shapecrafter has Shapecrafted his face that way. Intentionally? Unintentionally? Shapecrafters, man.

-[X] Spellcasting: Alfvin Rebuilds Brenda Beastsoul (Apply his Dog's Boon.. again...) for Klaus, though he leaves her unconscious and just asks Klaus to wake her up in his stead instead. Wouldn't do to be mauled to death by someone with a grudge against him, after all. That would really suck.

Alfvinsby
At the boundary-stones marking the reaches of Alfvinsby, one stone, on a path leading to his house is larger than the rest; An introduction-stone, of sorts.
Painstakingly carved on the runestone, perpetually colored:
What the Shapecrafter has against Seersight is unclear. Being a Shapecrafter of course, there are surely terrible secrets in lurk on Alfvinsby if you looked at the right places, but it is still most odd.
Past that lies fields of carelessly-tended plants - A great variety to be found, to be sure, and it's said that the plants here are all Shapecrafting experiments. Prodded, Alfvin's response says they're still a work in progress. What exactly a finished product - in the eyes of the Shapecrafter - would be like is still an open question.
If one were to make a detour before proceeding right to Alfvin's home, past the fields of strange and questionable plants, they might come across a strange grove of trees - Doubly strange in fact, for trees are most rare on the Faroes. Perhaps they were shapecrafted to be viable by the Shapecrafter - But what truly draws the eye would be a statue of three most familiar women weaving.. a set of uncolored runes at the bottom. Why does the Shapecrafter own this? If asked, he simply says it was a gift, and refuses to elaborate further with his carved face. The grove is neat, so he must frequent it. What for? To treat with the Nornar?
After all that, lies the Shapecrafter's home and the Shapecrafter Alfvin himself.
Prepared in the traditional Norse style still, is his single-homed house. Leaves grow from the longhouse, plants sprout in here and there inside and outside, like he was doing his best impression of some kind of alive longhouse. Yet, one might yet imagine that Alfvin was not a shapecrafter - until they got a look at him. Carved face (Shapecrafted that way perhaps?), hands with too many digits, here and there the evidence mounts up disabuses notions on normality. What is his Shapecrafter's madness? He declines to answer that question and asks - face a carved smile; What services does our guest wish?

A Day Gone Wrong
Astrid Bjornsdottir arrived at the Fyrrolog holdings nestled in the hills above her family's land, seeking the renowned farmer Klaus Square. Hoping to secure his expertise in creating a bountiful field, she was immediately struck by the unsettling atmosphere enveloping the farm. The air was filled with eerie growls and wails, and amidst the chaos, Klaus's daughter, Brenda, fiercely sparred with her massive War Fylgja. Klaus greeted Astrid with visible exhaustion and concern, revealing that their land was plagued by a mysterious and menacing Screaming Tree that had been growing more threatening by the day.
Determined to assist and confident in her abilities, Astrid offered to eliminate the sinister tree immediately. Drawing her wand, she channeled her Radiant Aura and unleashed an Incinerating Ray towards the tree's concealed location. To their horror, instead of destroying it, the tree absorbed the radiant energy, causing it to grow exponentially. Twisted branches clawed at the sky as grotesque, humanoid plant creatures sprouted from its limbs, launching a sudden and deadly assault on the farm. One of the fieldhands fell victim instantly, pulled beneath the earth by the tree's voracious roots.
Reacting swiftly, Brenda commanded her Fylgja and charged into battle, attempting to stem the tide of advancing plant monstrosities. Simultaneously, Astrid took to the skies on wings of light, seeking a tactical advantage from above. However, the creatures proved formidable; archers among them targeted Astrid with lethal precision, while others engaged Brenda and her Fylgja on the ground, exploiting the terrain by manipulating the very earth beneath their feet. Despite their bravery and skill, both warriors found themselves increasingly overwhelmed by the relentless onslaught.
Observing the tree's newfound vulnerability to darkness, Astrid conceived a daring plan to invert her light magic into a weapon of shadow. Summoning all her Ordstirr and mastery, she attempted the complex transformation mid-battle. The effort proved too great; as the powerful beam of darkness struck the tree, causing significant damage, the immense strain drained Astrid completely, and she plummeted from the sky unconscious. With Astrid down, the balance of the battle shifted dangerously in favor of the monstrous entities.
On the ground, Brenda continued to fight valiantly but suffered devastating losses. Her Fylgja sustained severe injuries and was eventually overpowered by the combined attacks of the plant creatures. As her loyal companion fell, Brenda herself was struck down, succumbing to the overwhelming force arrayed against them. The once vibrant farm was left in ruin, its defenders defeated and the Screaming Tree continuing to grow stronger by feeding off the fallen and the surrounding land.
The aftermath was grim: Klaus's fields lay desolate, and the malignant presence of the Screaming Tree loomed larger than ever, posing an even greater threat to the surrounding communities. The failed attempt to eradicate the evil had only served to empower it further, leaving those who remained to grapple with the dire consequences and seek new hope in the face of encroaching darkness.

Haha, even little brats get Omake points.
This is really, really cool. +1 Omake.
Excellent to see Astrid's take on this! Love an after-action report. +1 Omake.
@Aria the Mage ; @Guest99 : For your attempts to persuade the Seeress, +1 Omake to each.
@CoatRackRanger, how does the tier of the provided material/object impact the quality of Filter Seidrcraft? For example, if I weave the magic of potency 3 into a tier 5 object, will the tier of the final artefact use (somehow) both tiers, or will the tier of the object be disregarded? Will the original effects of the object (defence, prestige bonus, etc) be removed from the object?
Also, what would be the difference between providing a material and providing an object for Filter Seidrcraft?
Also, what would be the difference between providing a material and providing an object for Filter Seidrcraft?
A complicated question that has no definitive answer, unfortunately.
Combat has the most rules in this system because (almost) everyone uses it. The other system, such as Seidrcraft, are much less thoroughly defined.
For the most part, I consider that an object a Filter is placed in limits rather than enhances Filters. So, you need an object of the tier of your seidrcrafting for it to have full effect. Unusual objects specifically for the purpose of Seidrcraft may enhance filters placed in them but, for the most part, the seidrcraft needs a good enough object but isn't enhanced by a better object.
So, overall, it will somehow use both Tiers. For prestige calculations, you'll use the item's tier, unless your Filter is specifically about generating Prestige.
Placing a Filter in an object doesn't remove its original effect. You could put a Filter in armor and still wear it, for example.
Finished objects vs. materials. If you provide a finished object, you also get the benefit of having that finished object.
