Spotter: "Judith Trovare. Good luck on that sniper training or whatever you're doing."


You leave Judith to do her spotting and head for the city center again, locating the prison a block from the command building.

A two-story stone strucured with barred windows and a tall steel fence with the sharpened top ends curving inward.

A duo of mages guard the gate, letting you through after you tell them you're visiting.

The reception room isn't too different from Teleiat's containment facility - swept floors, good lighting. A man sits at the counter, and once you tell him you're here to visit the telepath that was taking out spotters, a pair of guards lead you down a level, and then another.

This entire floor seems to have anti-magic chambers, and the guards direct you to the one where the telepath is contained.

The first door opens to a short hallway there the anti-magic starts, and the next opens up to a medium-sized chamber.

A large cage fills the majority of the room, as if the stone walls weren't enough. A bed and two buckets are in the cage, a third bucket is outside.

The smell of blood is in the air, and as you approach the cage, you see that the bucket on the outside is filled with bloody fingernails, teeth, mutilated eyes, and messy sheets of skin.

On the bed is a youg woman lying motionless, watching you with a small smile on her face.

Sanoa: "Hello John. Have you found your book informative?"


She lets out laugh, honest and cheerful, making you try to resist the tugging at the corners of your mouth.

Sanoa: "I'm flattered, but no, I am not Ellissia Metus. You could say I was lucky and then had an unfortunate turn of events."

She's sitting up now, peering through the bars of her cage.

Sanoa: "Is your armor made of AM? You've gotten quite skilled in such a short period of time. You must have a knack for it."


Her expression changes to a sad smile, looking down at your feet.

Sanoa: "I guess I have something to apologize for.

It wasn't supposed to turn out like this. If I had succeeded, the Second and Esthen would've been able to quickly take Vranhal and unite the region under one banner, one that was tolerant to all kinds of people. Not the oppressive rule that Elizabeth has over the land. With the Daeli no longer capable of keeping everything stable, rogue states like Vranhal will run amok, resorting to violence on all fronts like the War of Blades.

I'm sorry I failed."


She's silent for a moment, absorbing your words.

Sanoa: "I can't see that I'm wrong, but I can't make myself believe you are wrong either."

She looks up at you.

Sanoa: "John, you know I hear voices, you've heard them, too.

I can't do anything anymore, not now at least. Prove them wrong, John, prove the voices wrong that things won't end up in chaos. Please.

And, I know it's not in my right to ask anything, but, I need something in my library to be destroyed. A book. You don't owe me anything, but I can't trust Vranhal to do it."


She looks around, even leaning over to look past you at the closed door. When she speaks again, her voice is low, barely audible.

Sanoa: There's an old medical book, written by a healer who was executed by the medical guild that he was a part of. It has information on how to heal people, curing sicknesses and mending wounds. Of course, those are useless if one does not know direct magic. The book, it has information on casting direct magic. If it were to fall in the wrong hands, so many things could go wrong. It must be destroyed. It is my greatest mistake that I did not burn it sooner.


Sanoa: It's in the back left corner of the library if you're standing in the entrance and facing inside. Move the furniture off the spot, it's under the floorboard. You'll need a crowbar to pull it off. A tinderbox is under the counter. Just, take it out and burn it as fast as you can.

Don't read it - if you do, the information can be pulled from your mind whether or not you understand it. I... I want to trust you, John.


She cracks a sinister smile.

Sanoa: "Pull out nails and teeth, gouge out eyes, skin them alive. You can only do that once. Unless if you have a healer with you."


Sanoa: "Thanks. If I ever get out of here, I'll make it up somehow, for getting you involved in this mess, and for you trying to clean it up.
It's not right to call you a friend or an ally, but we're not enemies, we're just, on different sides."

Tabi: "Well, I'm in the Spiral too, you can, um, come inside. I-it might be a while, they haven't seen me for a few years."

Leaving Vandolf behind, you follow your bat friend as she navigates the city streets, her uniform attracting a few looks here and there. The two of you stop in front of a clothes shop, the sign mounted above the door reading "Konai's Clothing." Pushing open the door and entering, the two of you are greeted by racks of clothing of various types and colors. A chirop dressed in a poofy black dress with slits in the arm sleeves (for wings to extend out of?) walks over to you from the counter.

Chirop: "Welcome to Ko-OHMYGODTABIYOURENOTDEAD"

The chirop runs over to Tabi, hugging her while babbling hysterical nonsense.

Chirop: "THEYSAIDYOUWEREDEADYOURESTILLALIVEYOURETABIRIGHTYOUSMELLJUSTLIKEHERWHATISGOINGON"

Tabi: "Ommel, I'm here and alive, I know it's been a while, calm down."

Ommel: "NOTHESCHOOLMAILEDUSANDSENTSOMEONEOVERTHEYSAIDYOUDIEDINANACCIDENTANDTHEONLYREMAINSLEFTWASPUDDINGANDMOMANDDADBURIEDTHATANDTHEYCRIEDFOREVERANDTHEYSTILLCRYISTILLCRYHOWAREYOUALIVE"

Tabi just hugs her babbling sister back, her eyes tearing up.


You stand quietly as the two embrace, Ommel eventually stopping her babbling and resorting to sobbing.

After a couple of minutes, Ommel pulls away just enough to look at Tabi.

Ommel: "Everyone thinks you're dead, Tabi. The school sent a letter and someone over who brought a box of meat pudding saying you fell in a machine or something. What happened? Why did the school say you died? Did they just identify the wrong person?"

Tabi: "I got into some trouble with the city, and I guess they wanted to use me for something."

Ommel: "What? What did you do?"

Tabi: "It's better if you didn't know, they haven't come after you yet and I want it to stay that way."

Ommel: "What about everyone else? Shouldn't they know that you're at least alive?"

Tabi: "I don't know..."

Ommel: "I'll keep it secret if you want, at least until you get out of whatever mess you're in."

Tabi: "Thanks, Ommel. Oh, um, how's the auto-loom working out for you?"

Ommel: "IDIOT! How did you expect me to understand the instructions!? I never even figured out how to put it together!"

Tabi: "Heh, I have to go somewhere but I can help you out with it real quick. Oh, and this is Kleigg."

Tabi gestures to you and Ommel looks you over for a second. She then whispers something in Tabi's ear, who turns as blush as a chirop is capable of.



Tabi: "Yeah, just gotta make sure it's in a private place."

Ommel: "Heroine? Oooh ooh, is she like, a secret revolutionist, working from the shadows to take down a corrupt party that's using the government as a sock puppet?"

Tabi: "Um..."



Ommel: "Anyways, mom and dad are out getting supplies, let's get the loom put together before they get back!"

She grabs Tabi by the arm and pulls her to a door in the back of the store and you follow, entering what looks like a workshop. Except, instead of wood or metal, the material is cloth in immense rolls, along with countless spools of different colored threads. The main work area appears to be a large table in the center which has a foot-pedal-operated sewing machine rigged to one side. Scraps of cloth, clusters of buttons, and odd strings of thread cover the surface of the work table.

On one side of the room is a pile of crates, some empty, some full, some in between. Against the wall is a large metal contraption in a partial state of assembly.

Ommel: "That's about as far as I got, and then the instructions stopped making sense. Hey Kleigg! You should help too! Check out Tabi's high dexterity first ha-OW"

Tabi slaps Ommel in the back of the head, the seamstress bursting out laughing.

Tabi: "Wanna help us out Kleigg?"


She lifts the top off of one of the crates, pulling a folded piece of paper out.

Tabi: "Here, this is the control box. Just put it together like it shows in the schematic like a jigsaw puzzle. I'm gonna help Ommel with the loom's regulator gears."

You pick the box up and move it a bit away so you have some working room. Checking the inside, you see some gears, a box, some metal plates, conduit wires, and one of Tabi's interface bricks. Looking at the schematic, it seems to make enough sense, so you start tinkering.

As Tabi and Ommel assemble the gear system of the loom and talking about the going-ons of the family in the past two years, you slowly piece together a part mechanical, part circuit... al? box of some sort of executive function. With the flip of a switch, you power on the Interface Brick, which acts as the cover for the box.

Input Test Mode

The cursor on the screen points to Tabi, who's the closest to you right now, and the wavey blobs scroll across the screen as it registers her telepathic readings.


Tabi: "Hmm? Oh neat, you got it together."

You hand her the box and the screen flicks through several menus.

Tabi: "Oh, I didn't send this pre-programmed."

Ommel: "Is that what this is?"

Ommel pulls a hefty stack of papers out of a crate, three holes punched in one side and twine tied through to hold it together. On the front page reads "Auto-Loom Operation Code"

Tabi: "Oh yeah. That's the code to put into the brick."

Ommel: "How do you put it in?"

Tabi: "There are special character lines at the top and bottom of each page, and when I choose a specific mode on the brick, it does a read of my vision input to search for those lines. Then I just flip through this book, and the brick reads the code off the pages and stores it.

This might take a while. Kleigg, could you help Ommel with the rest of those gears and belts?"

Sounds fair enough, so you let Tabi flip through the code book page by page and move over to the main part of the loom. Gears and rubber belts line the floor in neat rows, and a few schematics are laid open for you to see.

Ommel: "Gotta make sure the gears with the right number of teeth go into the right spots, else they'll jam up and the thing won't work. These pulleys, same thing, except it's length instead of number of teeth."

Seems straight forward enough, so you get to work slotting in gears and rubber belts. Ommel scoots a little close to you, speaking quietly.

Ommel: "So, how did you meet Tabi? Were you guys in the same class?"


Ommel: "A rough but strong, kind man who is anchored to the world by a dear friend he met, and you owe her dinner? Oh. Oh my. There are not many conclusions I can think of to this, but they all lead to yEEEP"

A rubber belt ricochets off of Ommel's back, and she gets back to plugging in gears while giggling to herself.

Ommel: "So, you saved the life of this once travelling, now loyal man who now owes you a meal. I can only imagine what I could experience if I attended a university, the people I would meet, the dangers I would face. So ro-"

Tabi gives her a pointed glance, and Ommel holds a gear between the two of them.

Ommel: "Technical. Look at all these teeth, fitted into that other one and it's a fourty-two-to-five gear ratio. A marvel of precision engineering.
That reminds me, where did you get all this stuff? Did you make it all?"

Tabi: "No, had a friend who was trying to make a loom. Something that you could operate in a home that would produce enough cloth for a large family. This is one of her models that she didn't need anymore, so I asked her if I could have it. She gave it to me, and I managed to get it to work autonomously, and figured the shop could use something like this."

Ommel: "Neato."

After a few minutes more of work, you and Ommel have all the gears and belts in place and Tabi finishes off the last few pages of the program book.

Tabi: "Alright, looks pretty much done."

She hooks the control box to the loom while Ommel plugs in some spools of white thread, and then Tabi pulls a large item out of another crate - some sort of metal box.

Ommel: "What's that?"

Tabi: "Power supply. It has an old, inefficient mana stone the size of a loaf of bread and only fifty units of storage, but there's a drake regenerating stone in there too, so you should be able to run it for the better part of the day and let it recharge on the off time."

She hooks the power supply to the loom, flicks a few switches, and the machine comes to life. The basic operation seems fairly simple - There are two frames, one in front of the other, that lightly hold individual threads. The threads are held in a way that it alternates which frame is a thread, if you look at it from left to right. Back frame, front frame, back frame, and so on. The threads run to the roller in the front of the machine that slowly turns, wrapping what would be the finished cloth. In between the roller and the frames is a mesh formed of just vertical wires that the threads run through, and a shuttle right behind that.

The basic operation machine goes as such - The frames are at different heights, one low, other high, so it forms an opening with the threads alternating height across the machine. The shuttle is quickly pushed through the opening, and once the shuttle is all the way, the frames swap heights, locking the thread left by the shuttle, and the wire mesh pushes the formed weave forward, keeping the cloth tight, and the process repeats.

The machine is run for a few seconds, producing inches of cloth at a respectable pace. Tabi hops up and down while clapping her hands excitedly.

Tabi: "Yesyesyesyes, it works, hahaha! I mean I tested before shipping it, but seeing it work again is great!"

Ommel: "This is amazing! We'll be able to produce clothing much cheaper and compete with those sweatshop-orphanage clothing outlets! Cheap labor, meet automation!"


You give Ommel a high-five, which does indeed seem to be a thing, while Tabi checks out the interface brick.

Tabi: "Should be straight-forward to use it. There's just the basic on and off, setting it on a schedule or running continuously. It'll automatically stop when it runs out of thread. I think we have to go now, there's something else we're here to do."

Ommel looks sad for a moment before smiling.

Ommel: "I'll let everyone you're okay, and make sure word doesn't leave the family."

Tabi: "Thanks."

You follow Tabi as she exits the work room and opens the store door, hanging in the entrance as she looks back. Something tells you she wants to stay longer, and something else pushing her to leave.

Ommel: "Good luck, heroine!"

Tabi: "You too, good luck with the store!"

A final word to Ommel before you leave for the museum?


Tabi: "Yeah. She's really playful, but also pretty sharp."

The two of you reach Teleiat's Museum of Ancient Artifacts, and head inside. A curator is there to greet you.

Curator 2: "Welcome! Entry is ten Aes, and has an optional tour included."

Tabi looks over to you -

Tabi: "Are you still broke?"

Bauen: "Most likely changed a haunt to a different haunt. I assume he was dead when you affixed him to the coin - if his soul was still possessing a dead body, he would be a lich, with the body possibly recovering on its own. The possession bound is normally broken the the body dies, but there are very rare incidents where it remains or is reestablished, the latter being a very difficult task.."


Bauen: "They are a mix, some are haunts, which makes it easy to remove them from a memory crystal if it is outside of the core. Others possess their memory crystals, these are usually older beasts, and are much more difficult to remove. Drakes are almost always haunts, which is one of the reasons they are able to reproduce so quickly. They multiply by first consuming enough food to expand their body mass to that of two drakes, and then begin splitting, first at the core. Since they affix themselves with a haunt, it is easy to unbind from part of the memory crystal, split it off, and bind a new spirit to the unoccupied crystal.

This is all important for understanding gates. Whenever magic is cast, a minuscule gate is formed that allows only the caster's energy to flow through. This form of gate-creation is instinctual and weak, and none have been successful at making effective use of it simply by, casting harder, or some other unimaginative method. A possession is also a form of gate, but it normally binds itself to a physical mass to maintain the connection.

When shamans use gate magic, we force our spirits to possess a region of space without holding it to physical mass, and use this possession gate to open a portal between the physical world and the otherworld. It is spiritual strength that allows us to do this, not arcane strength that chirop and humans use to cast."


Bauen: "Nothing particular, no. They simply have not discovered the means or have not been trained to be capable."

You walk around town, quickly locating the Museum of Ancient Artifacts.

The curator, a uniformed chirop, greets you as you enter.

Curator: "Welcome. Admission is ten Aes, optional tour included."


Curator: "One Aes is equal to one copper, just what we call it in the area."


You hand the curator 10 copper, and begin the tour!

Curator: "In this hall, we have a collection of artifacts that are believed to be from before the cataclysm."

A few glass display cases feature green and brown rectangular objects, many of them damaged or chipped, featuring intricate lines of gold.

Curator: "It is believed that these plates were some form of ancient circuitry, but since they're composed of zero percent artificial matter, it's possible that they operate on another force that we have yet to discover. On the other side, there are advanced projectile weapons similar to the muskets in the west, but more complex."

They do look like muskets, but more, machine-y.

Curator: "Down over here we have more pre-cataclysm artifacts, but these contain artificial matter."

Strange pieces of damaged devices. No clue what they do.

Curator: "The density of conduit circuitry in these far surpass even Magusalto's high-end constructs, and they appear to be artificial rather than created by chirop, humans, or lupus."

She leads you to another hall, this one filled with a great number of stones from the size of a bead to the size of your head.

Curator: "Post-cataclysm, pre-corruption mana stones. Most of the smaller ones were dug up from ancient constructs and have extremely high capacities, while the larger ones were the first artificial mana stones made by ancient constructors. Large and ineffective, but it was the start of the artificial mana stone. Moving along, we reach corruption and post-corruption items - beast cores and the first construct weapons."

Partial and full suits of armor, large chunky backpacks that operated as power sources, weapons with large compartments attached that held components.

There's also a glass box with a dark blue spherical stone with clear wires sticking out of it that run to a metal handle at the base of the box.

Curator: "This is a completely-intact leviathan memory stone with the spirit still inside, it is one of our most valuable artifacts in the museum. If you touch the handle in front of the display case, you can communicate with the spirit."

Give it a try, or move on?


Curator: "Nope, feel free to talk as long as you like."

How's it going in there?

Leviathan: Shout out loud what I say until I say stop.

I am the great leviathan Rauha! I have existed for over a thousand years, slaughtering armies and laying cities to waste, until I was defeated by a weapon designed solely to hunt my kind. Reduced to this small, powerless form without senses, I have only had my thoughts with me, and I have pondered on these thoughts for centuries. I have experienced the world through my body, and I have reflected on my memories many times over, building my true understanding of the world and its denizens. I have sewn the seeds of destruction, and I have been rewarded with its crops of demise. This form is my eternal punishment for my atrocities, and I am content to remain as so, and content if one should obliterate this last remnant of my existence from this world I have entered unwanted.

Stop.

If you shouted that, thank you. I do not wish to repeat myself for the twenty or so people in line.


Rauha: Ah, I am glad I do not have to deal with the 'afternoon rush' today. Asking infuriating questions like 'Are you really a leviathan?' and 'Prove you're a leviathan.' I am a shiny blue orb that only knows the color of my vessel because I was told so, how does one expect me to prove anything!?

Anyways, I sense you are still there. If you wish to know of something in the past, I can help you gain an answer.


I have heard of the tale, though it is from before my time, before the corruption. What do you want to know of him?


Rauha: Auflern Staube. After he killed his brother and took the kingdom, his sword was passed down the family for generations. After the corruption, which his kingdom survived, the sword was modified with parts of a beast core, making it into a magic weapon. The sword is Kuolema, a blade that was once shining silver, but became a brownish red over the centuries from the blood it let loose. I do not know where exactly the blade is now, but I assume it is still with his descendants. They are strong people, I do not believe they would have been killed off.


Rauha: Secret magic? You must be referring to either Alchemy or the law of Kaasiala.

Alchemy is similar to the Ruhe's gate magic, using a bridge between this world and the otherworld to one's advantage. While gate magic would simply let things through, Alchemy focused on transporting physical matter into the otherworld, modifying it with the otherworld's laws, and bringing it back into the physical world. This was their art of Transmutation. There was an incident where a transmutation resulted in a massive crater, an explosion surpassing the power of my kind, and the Daeli and the Ruhe set out to exterminate all Alchemists and their knowledge.

The law of Kaasiala, is, hmm. You see, when spirits enter your realm, we take some alternate form and usually have a connection to our realm that maintains the form. If the form in our realm is destroyed, the one in yours is as well. This form can be many things - simple objects, bursts of energy, strange creatures, environmental disasters. Laws. When Kaasiala entered your realm, he took the form of a law, one that made magic occur when certain markings were made. The Ruhe did not approve of this, and their mightiest gate shamans destroyed Kaasiala's body in our realm, ending the law.


Rauha: The law of Kaasiala resulted in a great deal of ingenuity and automation, as well as much destruction. When the layman could reduce half a city to rubble with a piece of paper and several months of sitting around, things tended to, not remain intact. The ease of access combined with its great power made it difficult for civilizations to remain so.


Rauha: Whether or not they are aware, it can depend on their strength or intelligence before they entered your realm. As for what forms they can take, they can be anything. Witches look like they are made of artificial materials like cloth, manticores appear to be flesh and bone like your normal creatures.

There exist creatures that are simply rocks. They have a core, they think, and they are just rocks.


Rauha: Yes. I do not know what it is, but there is a force that places you, its game pieces, on to the board. I do not know who or what is behind this. All I know is that someone, sometime, called it 'Red.' I do not know what that name signifies. It does not have the power of ancient magic, but achieves victory with few moves and lets the pieces do the rest.


Rauha: I do not know.


Rauha: I do not have an answer to that. It does well to hide itself.


Rauha: Not murder everything in sight. Kill more witches. A good start.
