+We’re taught how to mend before they start instructing us on traumas. There’s a point to this. It instills in you a kind of… appreciation for the mind’s structure. It’s not like the body—there’s a lot more commonality between meat. Every mind, however, is a bit different their own way, governed by internal obsessions, beliefs, shaped by differing memories. Every person is a little kingdom unto themselves.
And every person breaks different as well.<...

Get me a session to Ori-Thaum’s Inner Council. I don’t care how you do it or whatever the cost is. I’m done watching this clown show. I'm done watching our supposed ally fight itself while Highflame recovers.
We had the advantage for once, godsdammit. The Chivalrics and Meritocrats were on the verge of going to war; the Regulars were mauled. We unified—getting ready for the next war. Now Clan D’Rongo does this? Starts an in-house war? And their Outer El...

If you're planning to wage a war or conquer a world, demons are the single greatest investment you can make. They’re renewable, malleable, and can be delivered across all the known worlds in existence. Sure, you’ll have to buy them from that asshole Mepheleon because they have a monopoly over that SYSTEM, but they’re always willing to sell.

+Hey, hey, FATELESS. Wake up and breath in that tension. Another Guilder skirmish just broke out again in Nulrein of the Sarmarth Sovereignty. The parties involved might shock you this time: Stormtree and Ori-Thaum… but fighting themselves using each other! Confused? Well, let me break it down for you:
Rumor has it that two cadres of Stormtree Bloodthanes were contacted by Clans Kitzuhada and D’Rongo of Ori-Thaum to cause a few “accidents.” Somewhere alon...

You do not exist in the future. Not truly. That which is “you” is little more than a ripple imparted on the stream; an impression left on the pattern of Chronology. The future is shapeless. Mere simulation. But it is boundless with possibility and potential, and should one truly understand how to wield history, you can learn to “recreate” yourself at certain points in time—send the necessary actions down stream to shape events in your favor.

No, my friend. The past is lost. But only our past. Only our history. The future is still theoretically infinite, and so, what I propose is something more radical:
We create a new structure. One molded entirely from our histories from all that we know, and tied to the progression of our present. From this, we can venture freely along its Paths, and adjust things as we see fit.
Ha! Imagine this! A relati...

You must know and have perfect control over yourself, your own canons, domains, Heavens, augmentations, phantasmics. And you must never make them clear to your enemies. Always change. Always adapt your structure. Always be inscrutable.

Many things begin with a wound, a death, a grievance, a loathing, an obsession. The wounds we inflict on others, and that are inflicted on us, echo through the world.

They tie us together with the rest of existence in ways that most cannot fathom, most cannot see. But I have seen, and I have cut, and I have been cut, and with the alignment of damage, I was shown how to wound existence itself.

The disintegration of the past has always had a deleterious effect on the present. The downstream damages are becoming increasingly obvious.
I am sure many among you are aware of the growing problem of “relative temporal drift,” in which specific individuals—and entire cultures—experience the same incidents in history, but at drastically different points. Functionally, this should not make sense: how does one person’s past become someone else’s presen...

The creation of the eunuch was the result of emotional self-deception. The Agnosi were born of the same affliction, but a different want.
During the Dynastic Eras, when our line could still produce living boys, a game was being played. A game of dragons, then gods, then humanity, and beasts at the lowest rung. Our lines were crafted. Our breeding and continuation was engineered based on cultural predictions—arrangements made by the parasites that festered in ou...

The terms of our mercy came with the surrender of our faith, but not our theology. The ruling blessed were slaughtered from parent to child. Most died with the tainting of divines; sour miracles festered mortal vessels as if entropy itself.
