Radiating Tremors (Dances Up Earthquakes)

When dividing pieces evenly between multiple lands (e.g., when moving Towns in The Great River) or Energy evenly between Spirits, do you account for existing pieces in those lands / Energy of those Spirits?
No and no. "Evenly" is checked on the things to be divided, not the result after the division.
As an example, consider 4 Towns being divided evenly between a land with 0 Towns and a land with 3 Towns. Dividing 4 Towns evenly across two lands means 2 Towns for each land, for a final result of 2 Towns and 5 Towns. While a result of 3 Towns and 4 Towns gets the Town totals closer together, that requires an uneven division of the Towns—either 3 & 1 or 4 & 0, depending on which land ends up with 4 Towns.
In some cases (like The Great River), there's a tiebreaker condition if a perfectly even distribution isn't possible. In all other cases, players break ties, as usual.
