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.
<br><br>
Get it together, Ru! There's no evidence of intent. Stick to what you observe.
<br><br>*<br><br>
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.
<br><br>*<br><br>
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 &lt;sacofe fe phu&gt; <s>enchantments</s> engineering??? circa KÖLF 20 - 80 (middle period??) <s>Workers?</s> Artisans harnessed &lt;thûkhy&gt; <s>forever</s> all-time? Eternity!! Artisans harnessed eternity to fashion implements of both science and war.
<br><br>
<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??
<br><br>*<br><br>
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
<br><br>*<br><br>
Fell asleep :( sand worse now but staying away. Hates the light? Glad I sat here. Taking the sword can't even lift the big one
<br><br>*<br><br>
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???
<br><br>
<b>Thordag, 44th of the Shark, 1125</b><br>
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!!
<br><br>
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

5. And the Pilgrim was brought before the Heart, and made there to prostrate himself. Gathered there also were the Great Sages of the Chamber, to hear the word of the Heart.
<br>
6. The Heart spake thus unto the Pilgrim: Who art thou, that has caused such disquiet in my realm? And the Pilgrim answered: I was a knight. I am a student.
<br>
7. The Heart said: And what, pray, dost thou study, O knight-student? And the Pilgrim answered: REVELATION. Upon this word the Sages gasped, for such was the secret wisdom sought by the Chamber also.
<br>
8. The Heart marked their reaction, and said: The greatest minds of my Empire are discomfited, knight-student; why should it be so? And the Pilgrim answered: Because your greatest minds are as mewling cubs before a great tiger. And the ecstasy of prophecy came up on him, and he spake thus:
<br>
9. Know this, O Heart of the Empire: You seek REVELATION, but you cannot see beyond the walls of your Chamber, your Empire, your time. The Yanrin Didan is as sand in an hourglass: from within it seems to flow freely without end, but every grain is trapped, a single mote of Eternity bound forever in a glass prison.
<br>
10. But I have witnessed, and I tell you that there is not one REVELATION but four: DOMINATING, CLEANSING, RESTORING, and ETERNAL. And every mote of Eternity will receive REVELATION.
<br>
11. And the Pilgrim was taken from the Chamber of the Heart of the Empire, and it was decreed that none would ever repeat his lies or speak of these false revelations.

### Motes of Eternity
It is possible to cleans regions of the Sahwat of the residium pollution by traveling into the past and locating the focal point of REVELATION, trapping it in a Mote of Eternity.
It is also possible to weaponize the Mote, permanently scarring the region but allowing magic to be used one level higher than normal, without expending a higher spell slot.
The Knights of Eternity seek to prevent anyone from learning about the Motes of Eternity, for fear of this. The Heart of the Empire sought this power and the Sahwat Desert was the result of their misdeeds.
### The Rituals of Revelation
The Motes of Eternity were constructed by Didan Artificers. They can look like anything, though the aesthetic popular at the time was to imbue simple, every-day objects with unimaginable power: a book, a hand bell, a medallion. Once in possession of a Mote, you must find the Local.
