“Where did you get all this information? All these tales that you inscribe on my flesh, on my numerous pages, which were previously empty, but are now filled with precious information to the very edges?”
That’s what a thick volume would say, staring with its non-existent eyes at the girl sitting above it, in whose slender hand the tip of an elegant pen traveled across its surface, now to the left, now to the right, now from top to bottom, leaving behind traces of neat handwriting, revealing in its owner a diligent and experienced writer. But this volume was not endowed with reason, and apart from being an ordinary book, it was nothing more than a product of her own imagination, prone to spontaneous and profound flights of fancy.
She was an agent of the “House of Secrets”—a secret guild of Asuguh, whose existence was unknown even to representatives of the royal dynasty. For this reason, unlike her nine sisters, she does not have official status, and the promising Asuguh youth are not so easily accepted into its ranks.
The activities of this organization are largely similar to those of the Guild of Pen and Ink and the Guild of Erudition, with the difference that the information of interest to the “secret keepers” is not in the public domain, but on its reverse side. Information is a valuable resource, a treasure worthy of being guarded by dragons greedy for gold, and therefore neither the name nor the external characteristics of this woman will be mentioned in this text. As she believed, for the mere fact that her gender and a detail of her physical build had been revealed just moments before, the imaginary reader should pay a considerable sum of money.
... — A good story is coming out. — Although Cherry Mazzard’s gaze was devoid of noticeable emotions, she inwardly nodded approvingly to herself and, deciding to stop at this point, switched to a brief summary of the events that had occurred over the past year. Among other things, the following entries were included:
*Under mysterious circumstances, Faris’s record book burned down again. Esseres Bunpro refused to leave the complex and burned with it.
*A certain conflict occurred between Ushumgallu and Gonkhu, but it was resolved by the intervention of the city guard.
*Druj, the owner of "The Good Manticore," disappeared without a trace.
*Asmidul delivered (?) a letter to Nitra at the Temple of Mirrors, but he could not get further to Ikusa Sizki due to the great busyness of the King. Later, however, the young man received a message that he would be granted an audience later.
*Kimchilla sailed away...
* HERE AND FURTHER ARE ANSWERS TO PLAYER QUESTIONS ABOUT "WHAT HAPPENED TO XXX AND YYY DURING THE TIME SKIP?" (it is now the 1001st year, January).
*After her unexpected disappearance, Mysti Rosalyn returned to Shingen, but she herself did not know the reasons for what had happened. She told the members of the Guild of Wonders about her secret: at the moment of imminent death, her mind leaves her body and reconstructs it in a secret location. The downside of such magic was that she lost memories of the last thirty days of her life.
*During the investigation, it turned out that Druj harassed the owner of "Symphony of Happiness," which hindered the normal operation of this establishment, but with his disappearance, the problem was resolved naturally.
*On March 31, an attack was made on the temple of Nanaya by followers of the Purianism movement, as a result of which its activities were temporarily suspended. The April entry of Genza was moved to January 6, 1001.
How to continue playing
For the old-timers: choose a guild (if you haven’t already) -> choose a belief (if you haven’t already/if you need to) -> write that you want to continue as such-and-such a character -> I will post a new character sheet -> when I give the start (it won’t be long, but not tomorrow either; it’s better to ask me (Cherry) questions first), you can (if you want) describe what the character did during the skip.
For the young ones: choose a name -> choose an origin -> choose a gender -> choose a guild (+1000 reputation) -> choose a belief -> choose skills (there are 4 primary attributes, skills cost 1, some 2) -> write down inventory (ordinary, not super-duper) -> post a story.
