It's been three days since I reentered the ruins of our old home. The "necrosand" I saw above ground seems to be concentrated here; the deeper I go the more there is. Wonder by what principle is it animated? Seems almost malevolent the way it lashes out.

Get it together, Ru! There's no evidence of intent. Stick to what you observe.

Definitely correlation btwn my presence and the behaviour of the necrosand: It becomes more animated closer I get, and twice now I've seen <s>ghosts</s> <s>undead</s> things moving in the shadows, rising out the necrosand. Don't think they saw me. Gotta stay quiet.

Found a </i>Ku ci Wês<i>! Knowledge Nexus? Empire had these all over, small public spaces in local settlements dedicated to study and learning, connected in a sort of <s>pilgrimage</s> walking tour? I think students were expected to travel the Empire to seek knowledge. How awesome is that. Found a plaque near the entrace. My High Dwarfish is bad :( :( will check trans at home:

"THE PATHWAYS OF KNOWLEDGE: On the subject of TIME and its control. here shall you find examples of early empire <sacofe fe phu> <s>enchantments</s> engineering??? circa KÖLF 20 - 80 (middle period??) <s>Workers?</s> Artisans harnessed <thûkhy> <s>forever</s> all-time? Eternity!! Artisans harnessed eternity to fashion implements of both science and war.

<u>I KNEW IT!!</u> The Empire was researching chronometry, and earlier than I thought. Emperor Kölf is Middle Empire! Wonder if those glowing weapons have chronometric properties??

JACKPOT!!! :D Two scrolls behind the shelf in the corner. One w partial trans to Common on the reverse -- looks like a history, part of sequence? And a mathematical treatise! YES :D :D It's really hard to read :( Will camp here and work on it -- use the light from those weapons. Necrosand not too bad; seems to be avoiding. Hate it here, but so worth it. Mom will crap the path when she finds out omgs

More ghost things. Came up just as I was back across. Think it was a canopy walkway. Was this jungle?? Howd it get buried? <u>Intact?</u> Stairs led to big cavern, stone floor -- town square? Big building w locked door. Necrosand all over. Got in!! Mold Earth ROCKS :D :D Only way down is a huge pit full of necrosand. Can't see bottom, but safe with this sword. Brought rope. How to get down???

OMGs the Empire wasn't just studying chronometry -- major breakthroughs!! -- "trap the essence of eternity, hold it fast" on that plaque and this math it's like -- totally new model, time is zero-sum? Time doesn't flow??? "Eternity" not a theoretical construct but basis for an integration of arcane and science -- everything that happens always happens?? <u>causality is a point of view, just a vector selection collapsing an infinite possibility space</u> means "mote of eternity" some sort of material stasis of chronometric energy? But force vectors are infinite! No decay!! If mote is used, effects backwards and forwards through time? <u>Eternalism as a weapon</u> Mote not on display tho. Lost? Taken? Was that what the outsiders were after -- Luna??
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"Mote of Eternity" misused, forces negative relative to current reference?? The impact would go <u>BACK IN TIME</u>!! Did we cause everything?? The Desert???
|
||
|
|
<u>WHO HAS THE MOTE NOW</u>??!! omgs the damage is happening right now a thousand yrs ago -- means if we fix/destroy/use now, undo the whole desert! Make it like it is now, back then!!

Who do I tell? Not mom lol. Auntie Uli? Selc'ta?? She's crazy now :( :( OMGS does she have Mote is that why?? that thing in the bones -- something in the PAST?? This crap is weird omgs
