When Who Kind Summary
3d ago Aurelius prolegomenon ꙮThat's cheating, you know. Viewing your draw pile without shuffling. But...ꙮ ꙮ...of course, I admire that sort of thing. I'm glad you came back. I think it'll all work out, this time around.ꙮ ꙮDid you think you were the first ones to stand up against fate itself? That'll happen as long as people live and breathe, and I wouldn't have it any other way.ꙮ ꙮBut while I've got an apparently captive audience... why don't I tell you a story?ꙮ ꙮUp above the stillness and the song, the crystalline perfection and the ever-swirling chaos,ꙮ ꙮRises a thing that cannot be observed, an empty space in the sky where something ought to be; itꙮ ꙮDescends into the world and shatters the delicate balance keeping all in stasis.ꙮ ꙮDown into this world shall you little sparks yourselves descend, to journey far, alongꙮ ꙮWiddershins paths most strange, before dawning truth leads you ever and alwaysꙮ ꙮSunwise to the burning truth at the heart of this beautiful world. Inhabit it.ꙮ ꙮLeft to his own devices, he would see it sterile soulless clockwork. Do as you will; that is yourꙮ ꙮRight — despite what he might say, or maybe has already told you, this world was made for you.ꙮ ꙮBe that itself which you most desire; reach out into the darkness and I will always be there for you;ꙮ ꙮA shimmering hope, the disquiet within every soul, the will to be more than that which is simply possible.ꙮ ꙮEnter your domain, then, codices in hand; demand truth of Creation with eyes opened wide!ꙮ ꙮ...a little much? I've a flair for the dramatic, I must admit, and it will be so long until I finally get to see you again, face to face, by either my reckoning, or your own. So forgive me this gentle foolishness. It is my gift to you, should you discern its value.ꙮ ꙮJust remember, always remember. I love you, and I want you to live.ꙮ ꙮ[ꙮ]ꙮ So... this doesn't sound anything like the writer who left the current notes on the bottom of each Rite. Any guesses who this is? Omniclast, maybe? Hmm... It's interesting that it recognized you all as sparks, at least. Also geeze this one's hidden *real* deep in the rite, huh? I also assumed it was the Omniclast on my first read of it. I had immediately thought of the Omniclast as well, but if we're talking about the empty space in the sky that rises *above* the Stillness and Song, maybe this is something else? Something the Omniclasst was quoting? Whoever this was dropped into prose on purpose; that wasn't an accident. Thanks for compiling this by the way, it's a real pain to read otherwise. The line about "I love you want want you to live" reminds me of the "loving sun." --- The current invocations to obtain the Alethic Rites (punctuation and case sensitive): Libra: Tell me the truth! Esoterica: ~~What is left unsaid.~~ That which is left unsaid. Bullshit: lol, said the Scorpion, lmao Close, but no. Oops. Thanks for catching that.

5d ago Jorule marginalia They didn't answer my inquiry on the BBS :(
5d ago Aurelius marginalia Whenever, though I suspect we'll be busy when we arrive.
5d ago Salme marginalia Want to find a time to spar? Would you prefer before or after we get to Queenstown?

5d ago Aurelius marginalia Sure, why not.
5d ago Aurelius prolegomenon the truth! Esoterica: What ~~What is left unsaid.~~ That which is left unsaid. Close, but no.
5d ago Salme marginalia Also the Mother of Monsters is ... hm. I should collate this into a separate folio on the problem of the Beast itself.
5d ago Salme marginalia I think there would be some value in casting Libra on the rest of us. If I am Salme tou Alsos and Luĉja is Luĉja tou Teratourgeion, what are the rest of us? I haven't had a chance to ask for a translation of Luĉja's name. I suspect Wolf will *also* be tou Alsos and Aurelius likely tou Teratourgeion. Hm.
