Leech kills a Snake

I don’t actually see many scenarios where a Vampire would fight a Nagah but I thought it would be a nice switch up from the typical vampire vs werewolf drawings.

Fact Core: Shapeshifters becoming Embraced will depend on the breed.  Garou, Ajaba, Bastet, Gurahl, Ratkin, and Rokea may all become vampires, although Ratkin decay like normal corpses and Rokea immediately go insane. However, they lose Gnosis whenever they violate their tenets unless they submit to the Wyrm. If they lose all of their Gnosis, they become little more than animals. An Embrace of an Ananasi, Camazotz, Grondr, Nagah, or Nuwisha simply fail.  Corax and Mokole die at sunrise regardless of if they are hidden from it, although Mokole will go insane like the Rokea do. Kitsune will immediately burst into flames when Embraced, which may kill the attempted sire.

Alice: ...thank you for that. I don't suppose you have any facts on how I can solve this bloody laser puzzle, do you?

Flour Magic

summary: Nagisa helps Aiichiro baking for the Samezuka christmas party and to say that things get a little out of hand would be an understatement.

an: this is my @squealing-santa​ gift for @theatregaymer​. on the last possible day, as usual, and the title is kinda weird, but i really hope you like it! i also hope you had fun on the holidays and have a good new year’s eve! ^^ thank you to @hypahticklish​ for hosting, this was my first time participating and i had a lot of fun <3

¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫¸¸¸¸♫·¯·♪¸¸♩·¯·♬¸¸

Baking with Rin was a challenge. There was always some miscalculated amount, some forgotten ingredient, or, even better, some random ingredient which had nothing to do with the thing they were trying to bake whatsoever. Of course, it was never Rin’s fault. No no, always something wrong with the recipe, or the measurements. And the worst part about the whole baking thing was that they had to do it every time there was a team event coming up; graduation parties, New Year’s… while Aiichiro loved baking and always gladly took over the preparations, the captain’s help was expected as it was a Samezuka tradition at this point. Captain Seijuro had caused an indescribable amount of chaos every time and Aiichiro had almost been relieved when Rin took over, but… well. Yeah.

To say that he had expected anything else would have been a lie, but to deal with his senpai’s absolute incapability of admitting any wrongdoing was… exhausting, to say the least. Which was why he was very contemptuous with Rin being sick when the time to bake for the team’s christmas party rolled around. Not thrilled of course, because that would just be malicious, but sometimes sickness really came in handy. Up until now, he had also managed to keep Momotarou from the kitchen and even though Sousuke was unfortunately unavailable, he had found a substitute that was actually competent.

“Oops!”

Well, mostly.

“Nagisa!” Aiichiro let out a long sigh, the sixth one within the last five minutes, and put his hands on his hips, trying his very best to give the blonde boy a reproachful stare. “How many times have I told you, be more careful!”

“I know, I know. Sorry?”

Screw it, he couldn’t stay mad at Nagisa. Not when he had that sheepish little smile on his face and his entire hair was covered in flour. How did it get up there? Who knew? Aiichiro for sure had no idea. Sigh number seven.

“Come here, let’s clean you up.”

“Oh, don’t bother.”

Aiichiro barely had time to get concerned about what would happen before Nagisa let his head hang down and began to shake it. The floor and his face turned equally white as he watched the flour trickle downwards in horror; mentally he made a note to sweep through later. This was the dorm’s kitchen after all and he couldn’t possibly leave all of this flour on the floor in good conscience, handing all the work over to the cleaning staff.

“You look like youʼve seen a ghost!” Nagisa laughed. “Don't worry, we're gonna clean that up. Well, me. I'm gonna clean that up.” He tilted his head, chuckling softly. “You need to relax a little, Ai. Making cookies is supposed to be fun and you’ve been stressed out ever since we started.”

Aiichiro felt his cheeks grow warm. “Y-yeah, well, I just don’t want them to be ruined, just because we’re fooling around and not paying attention to the ingredients or anything!”

Nagisa smirked, then he shrugged and turned back to the dough. “I’m sure they’re ruined already.”

“What?!”

“Yeah, you made the frosting with milk and you know that when you’re in a sour mood, the milk goes sour too, right?”

His pulse, having gone from zero to a hundred real quick, dropped again and Aiichiro couldn’t help the growl escaping his throat. “That was so silly.”

“No, but this is.”

Nagisa was fast, Aiichiro had to hand him that. The flour was all over his face before he could even blink. Not to mention, in his mouth. Ew.

“Watch out!”

“NaGAH! Alright, that’s it!”

Nagisa dodged the flour Aiichiro threw at him, laughing. “Finally you’re ready to have some fun! Now eat- umphf!”

Aiiricho grinned, already gathering as many flour packages as he could get his hands on. He had to stuff himself with more ammunition and, even more important, prevent Nagisa from doing the same!

Now, there were two very important things to know about Nitori Aiichiro. One, he was a strategist. Not very skilled when it came to open face to face combat, but chess was exactly his cup of tea and he had led his lasertag teams to victory more than just once. And two, he was determined. He didn’t like giving up - and he wouldn’t!

However, there was also one very important thing to know about Hazuki Nagisa, something which Aiichiro was about to find out the hard way: he did not care for any of that.

For the third or fourth time already, Aiichiro found himself not having any time to make a battle plan or even think for a second. Nagisa didn’t have a lot of flour left, but he sure was making the most of it, rapidly opening fire and not letting him breathe at all.

He spluttered when he got hit in the face, blinking and trying to regain his vision, taking more shots in the process. This was brutal. This was war. There was nothing he could do except for waiting until Nagisa would run out of flour, which, if his estimations were correct, should happen right around… now!

Aiichiro took a deep breath as soon as the attacks stopped (and regretted it immediately, that goddamn flour was everywhere) and got the vast majority out of his face before looking at the now unarmed Nagisa and allowing himself a tiny smirk. “My turn.”

Or so he thought. Because there was a second very important thing to know about Hazuki Nagisa. In retrospect, Aiichiro would smack himself in the head, because it was something he already knew about and yet he was still caught off guard; Nagisa was very fast.

“H-hey, what are you- EEK!”

Aiichiro felt his legs go weak and he dropped to his knees, Nagisa following him to the floor with a satisfied grin and his hands latched to his sides, squeezing. “What is it, Ai? A little sensitive?”

“Yohou know thahat!”

“You’re right, I know that.” Aiichiro shrieked when Nagisa pulled his arm to the side and wiggled his fingers into his armpit. “And I’m really happy I know that.”

“Nohoho- Nahagisa! Nahat thehere!” Gosh, this was unbearable. Did the Christmas spirit make him more ticklish? Or was Nagisa just ridiculously good at this? Probably the latter.

“Not there? But that’s not even your most ticklish spot. Do you really want me to go there?”

Panic rose in Aiichiro’s chest as more frantic laughter spilled out of his mouth; panic, but also a kind of excitement. “Nahagisa, plehehease…”

“Please go there? As you wish.”

Nagisa let go of his wrist and Aiichiro immediately clamped his arm to his side, taking a moment to breathe through. A moment too long, apparently. An arm wrapped around his ankles and his heart dropped to his stomach. “Nonono, wait, Nagisa, wahait-”

“Yes?” Nagisa smirked down at him, one single index finger ghosting over his sole and Aiichiro couldn’t stop a panicked giggle from slipping out. “I’m waiting?”

“U-uhm… don’t tickle me…”

“Tickle you? With pleasure!”

“Noho! I said dohon’t!”

“Don’t what?”

“Tihickle me- WAIT!”

“Too late.” Nagisa let out a cackle in his best super villain manner and started to scribble all five fingers of his free hand over the two feet he was keeping in a headlock. 

Aiichiro screamed.

“NAHAHAGISAHAHA!” The assault at his armpit had been nothing in comparison to this. Somehow Nagisa found all the right spots that made him go insane. The middle of his sole, his heel, and even bending back his toes to scratch beneath them. Aiichiro distantly registered Nagisa’s voice, probably teasing him, but he was too lost in the absolute madness of a sensation that was the tickling. Tears were running down his cheeks and his stomach hurt from laughing so hard, and Nagisa was relentless, changing his finger movements between scratching, scribbling and even kneading softly. At last, he couldn’t take it anymore.

“AHALRIGHT, STAHAHAP! I GIHIHIHIVE, I GIHIVE! PLEHEHEASE!”

Nagisa chuckled, slowing down and letting go of his legs, then he handed him a bottle of water he pulled out of his backpack and softly patted his knee. “That’s what I wanted to hear. Are you okay?”

“Y-yeah…” Aiichiro rubbed his tummy, trying to calm down from the after-giggles. “All good… jeez, what was that?!”

Nagisa shrugged, a sheepish smile pulling at the corners of his lips. “I was out of ammo. And you were so tense all day, I wanted you to laugh and loosen up a little.”

A slight wave of guilt washed over Aiichiro’s features. “Was I that bad? I’m sorry….”

“I mean… a little. Don’t worry about it.” Nagisa held his hand up, grinning. “I had fun!”

Aiichiro couldn’t help but smile softly, then he gave his friend the high five he was waiting for. “Yeah, me too. Come on, let’s clean up and get back to work.”

“That doesn’t mean getting back to moping though, right?”

“I said I was sorry!”

State of the Concordiat, 2023/09/16

Been a little bit, so here's an update for you all!

The State of the Concordiat is where I issue progress reports for how the index is coming along, primarily (at this time) what books I've entered in. I used to pick books to index rather randomly, but lately I've mostly kept to a chronological release order. Right now I've got most Werewolf-related sources completed up through September of 1995, excluding novels, fiction anthologies and LARP sources (though I will be indexing these eventually, they're just lower-priority).

Which book am I currently working on? Well, since last time I've completed Savage Attack: A Players Guide to Rage, Tribebook: Red Talons and Outcasts: A Players Guide to Pariahs. I did a big reference pull (a post coming about that soon!) that kept me occupied for a while, so not quite as much progress on the index as I would have otherwise hoped for. But I'm back on track, and Freak Legion is up next. A very thorough book about fomori, but a part of the Black Dog imprint so it can be pretty dark and edgy. In Freak Legion's case, it's particularly splatterpunk, for good and for ill.

Below the cut you'll find the now fairly hefty list of sources I've indexed:

Completed to Current Standards: Art of Werewolf: The Apocalypse (Revised), Book of Worlds, Book of the Wyrm (First Edition), Book of the Wyrm (W20), Caerns: Places of Power, Ghost Towns, Guardians of the Caerns, Monkeywrench: Pentex, Outcasts, Past Lives, Players Guide to Garou, Possessed, Project Twilight, Rage: Warriors of the Apocalypse, Rite of Passage, Rites of Renown, Savage Attack, Skinner, Tribebook: Black Furies, Tribebook: Bone Gnawers, Tribebook: Children of Gaia, Tribebook: Fianna, Tribebook: Get of Fenris, Tribebook: Glass Walkers, Tribebook: Glass Walkers Revised, Tribebook: Red Talons, Tribebook: U****a Revised, Umbra: the Velvet Shadow, Under a Blood Red Moon, Ways of the Wolf, Werewolf: the Apocalypse (Second Edition), Werewolf: the Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Edition, Werewolf Players Guide, Werewolf Storytellers Handbook, Werewolf Storytellers Screen (First Edition), Werewolf Storytellers Screen (Second Edition), Werewolf Storytellers Screen (W20), White Wolf Magazine - Issue 32, White Wolf Magazine - Issues 39-44, Wyld West Expansion Pack

Completed to Some Standard: Ananasi, Axis Mundi, Bastet, Changing Breeds (W20), Changing Ways (W20), Corax, Dark Alliance: Vancouver, Gurahl, Hengeyokai, Kinfolk: Unsung Heroes, Mokole, Nagah, Nuwisha, Rage Across the Amazon, Rage Across Appalachia, Rage Across Australia, Rage Across New York, Rage Across Russia, Ratkin, Tribebook: Black Furies Revised, Tribebook: U****a, Valkenburg Foundation, Werewolf: the Apocalypse (1st Edition)

The rain continued to fall, turning into a downpour by the time Kiara reached the ground. Above, the creatures fill the night sky with their high-pitched squeals. Random body parts littered the ground: in their growing agitation, they started to attack each other.

The settlement was just ahead now. Kiara could see the lights and Riddick's massive figure moving about the ship. Though he kept moving, she knew he could sense her. Kiara didn’t know what she’d say to Riddick, once they were face to face. Words weren’t going very far today, it seemed more like a waste of energy. A threat might make things worse or push him to actually leave. At the same time, what if aggression was the only way to get through to him now?

The only respite in all of this was the heavy rain, it was a relief on her skin. One of the ways Nagahs recover is in water. Going for a swim or submerging themselves not only cools off their skin but also helps regulate their temperature and lifts their mood. The exhaustion set deep in her bones wouldn’t go anywhere until she could rest, but this helped.

.

Kiara was drenched by the time she reached the Skiff. It was ready for take-off, Riddick seconds away from closing the hatch.

“Hoping for the best keeps biting me in the ass today. First Johns, now you.”

Riddick, aware of her presence already, took his time turning around to face her, his goggles concealing his eyes. “What did you expect?”

“Better!” she yelled. “From both of you.”

Riddick watched as she charged up the walkway to confront him.

“How can you leave with them back there?”

“Easy. Watch,” Riddick replied coldly, then hit the button, the hatch closing behind them.

من نشر الاخت الكريمة والمربية الفاضلة Nagah Fahim

[thebookofnehemiah]

"The Scumbags." From the Book of Nehemiah, "the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Lions that Lay," 6: 11-15.

The Nsh is being pursued by a bunch of scoundrels who are disappointed to find out he is not interested in nepotism, which is a violation of the Decrees. He knows the only way to emerge unscathed is to remain true to his principals and complete his work on the Walls and the Doors.

Following are the deliberations: how should one respond to intimidation and fear for one's life and emerge the legal as well as the actual victor over the circumstances? A Nsh cannot be an ax swinging dyke about everything, but a few things are going to require clear legal recourse, what is called Noadiah, "a meeting with God."

Of this, Sanballat and Tobiah, "the goodness that is swallowed up the hind rear" are clearly in need:

11 But I said, “Should a man like me run away? Or should someone like me go into the temple to save his life? I will not go!” 12 I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had prophesied against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. 

13 He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would commit a sin by doing this, and then they would give me a bad name to discredit me.

14 Remember Tobiah and Sanballat, my God, because of what they have done; remember also the prophet Noadiah and how she and the rest of the prophets have been trying to intimidate me. 15 So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days.

The passage refers to hired men. Hired men are aspects of the behavior that are either forced or incentivized into doing the right things. The term usally refers to Yehsiva boys who are forced into the Shule at an early age in exchange for residence in the parent's homes, but internally, this refers to the self-control one must indenture oneself into possessing. There are indeed aspects of the mind that will try to intimidate a man or woman into spending too much time on their backside. Except our rear end butts are not permitted to prostitute us or whore us out.

One cannot say "my ass whored me out so I went along for the ride." It must always be the reverse. To perform Noadiah and "to bear witness repeatedly before the congregation, like a habit" due to the sins of the flesh is not acceptable.

On the societal level, society must indeed prosecute and persecute persons who are not in control of their genitals. We are not doing a very good job of this. The age of consent is inviolate. One cannot reframe violations of the age of consent under any circumstances nor fail at due process. This is the first office named by the Torah and for this there is a reason.

The Republican Party has used "underage prostitutes" to stage incidents of stachitory rape against their opponents using little drug addicted psychos to discredit or intimidate them, and they are for the most part getting away with it as you can tell. This is repugnant and deserves the harshest of punishments and proper persecution in the public sphere.

The Zohar says mais oui to this.

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 11-12: But should a man run away? Men and boys do not mix. Yes, run. There are plenty of people with pubes that are horny just like you. Find one of these instead.

The Number is 8742, חז‎‎דב‎‎, hazdev, "you scumbag!"

v. 13: He'd been hired to intimidate me! The Number is 6503, ו‎נג‎, and ng, "illuminate the situation."

"The verb נגה (nagah) means to lighten, or to reflect light and occurs a mere two or three times in the Bible: 2 Samuel 22:29, which is reduplicated as Psalm 18:28 ("lighten up the darkness"), and Isaiah 13:10 ("the moon reflects light").

It's probably prudent to note that this root does not actually describe light or being light (which would be done with the root אור, 'or) but rather the traveling of light or else its effect of illuminating."

v. 14-15: The Wall was completed. The Number is 11051, קין‎‎א‎, kina, "a louse, a label, a style, a term."

"The verb קנן (qanan) isn't used in the Bible but it appears to tell of the weaving of many strands into a dynamic and interlocked network. These strands may be reeds and twigs that a bird weaves into a nest, or it may be acts of trade and routes of commerce that together combine into a bustling economy. Noun קן (qen) means nest, and verb קנן (qinnen) means to make a nest.

Verb קנה (qana) means to obtain, i.e. to acquire or in some instances to create. It's the regular verb for a commercial purchase. Noun קנין (qinyan) describes an item acquired (or created). Noun מקנה (migneh) means cattle (as unit of commerce). Noun מקנה (miqna) means purchase or purchase-price. Noun קנה (qaneh) denotes some herb on a stalk, or any rod, reed, branch- or stalk-like item (in this sense, a plant "acquires" its branches).

The verb קין (qyn), which isn't used in the Bible, occurs in cognate language with the meaning of to fit together, fabricate or forge (often of metal things). In the Bible occurs only the noun קין (qayin), meaning spear. Note that our modern word "franchise" comes from a word that meant spear, and originally denoted a free man, i.e. one who had the authority to bear arms, own property and thus conduct trade. The earliest republican government of Rome was called curia, literally spear-bearers, and the link between bearing a spear or other such ceremonial weapon and a senatorial government (a government by tribal elders) appears to have been pretty much globally understood throughout history.

Noun קינה (qina) denotes a kind of sad poem; a dirge or lamentation, which both had to be fabricated and could, presumably, pierce a person's soul like a spear (which is an obvious Biblical figure of speech; see Luke 2:35). The denominative verb קונן (qonen) means to do a dirge, which could be either to chant or compose one.

The verb תקן (taqan) means to make or become straight."

It seems the Nsh chose to go and find the pedophiles that were trying to frame him, arrested them according to the customs and laws of his people and disposed of them. Go Nsh!

Donald Trump, the Republicans, Mormons, Catholics and others romanticize and spiritualize sex with minors and the problem is pandemic. You may have heard Mitt Romney and others claiming sex with minors is an aspect of their religious freedom and "that is how we bring them to Jesus Christ!" The US Government has addressed the problems posed by persons Mitt Romney and Donald Trump who have openly admitted to sexual misconduct with minors with gross negligence and incompetence and millions of lives have been destroyed.

Sex between family members and persons who are not of age is illegal. When minors are trafficked, especially by public officials, the crimes are considered Crimes Against Humanity.

In cases like those involving Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Rick Perry, Josh Hawley, Mitt Romney and other members of Congress and the Supreme Court like Amy Coney Barrett, Justice Alito, et al. incidents require mandatory prosecution and prevent individuals involved from holding public office and other types of positions where exposure might induce risk. The White House is expected to respond to this today. The US Government is not allowed to fuckaround and fuckabout with this issue, we must insist it deal with the problem with the urgency that is legally required.

Sonhos de Areia: Episódio 61

Aventura: Passos no Escuro

Episódio 61: A Quem Pertence o Conhecimento?

O grupo recomeça sua jornada por Muhar, agora munidos da moeda local e procurando recuperar o Baú Infinito perdido no ácido durante a batalha com Argos. Após encontrar algumas Pedras Desodorantes com Nauja e descobrir que Shampoo e Desodorante não chegaram nas prateleiras de Muhar, Tokoyo e o grupo encontram um anão magro com certo talento para vendas, mas que não se traduz na qualidade dos seus produtos. 

Percebendo que não estão num local propício para a venda de itens mágicos, o grupo desiste da empreitada e parte sob a guia de Medeléia rumo ao Verdadeiro Sol, sua comunidade de refugiados que sobrevive à parte da cidade em uma sessão subterrânea.

Ao aproximarem-se da comunidade o grupo logo percebe uma Luz que ilumina todo o setor, mas são logo interrompidos quando os membros que os vêem se aproximar reconhecem Medeléia. Ao encontrarem-se novamente com Medeléia e os aventureiros as crianças da comunidade se animam com a presença de Iccarion assim que ele retira seu disfarce, percebendo que estão na presença de outro membro da raça de Rayel, um elfo que comenta casualmente com o grupo sobre sua presença no Sombral a 600 anos e, quando indagado por Paimon, confidencia que sua memória dos eventos antes de sua vinda ao Sombral não é muito vívida.

Medeléia apresenta o grupo à Kuhpa, a líder da Comunidade que organiza o funcionamento e as necessidades daquele grupo. Enquanto os aventureiros se habituam com aquele pequeno povoado e o papel do Anjo, que antes fora reconhecido apenas como uma fonte de Luz, mas é na verdade um protetor daqueles que ali residem, recebem mais algumas informações referentes à Défilos, a Sábia.

Défilos foi uma Faraó com grande apreço pelo conhecimento e que o acumulou de diversas maneiras, quando ela recusa compartilhar seu conhecimento à divindade Musume, ela é punida e transformada em uma Nagah, fadada a morrer a cada 500 anos, eternamente presa em um domínio do pavor e atrelada à sua biblioteca onde a eternidade apenas lhe serve para acumular ainda mais sabedoria. 

O grupo parte do Verdadeiro Sol, aprofundando-se ainda mais no plano buscando encontrar Défilos para extrair dela qualquer informação referente ao Necronomicon. Após depararem-se com alguns desafios e charadas, o grupo consegue acessar a Biblioteca de Défilos, sua entrada sendo uma charada que reforça o papel de Défilos como a detentora de todo o conhecimento. Lá Mira e Paimon guardam alguns livros de seu interesse, mas apenas Mira é quem tenta ler o que está escrito, percebendo que algum efeito mágico infringe dano a cada tentativa de apropriar-se do conhecimento da Faraó.

Ao chegarem em uma sala semi-circular com dois quartos fechados o grupo consegue acessar um destes, que possui um círculo de teletransporte que os leva até o Recanto da Faraó. Essa sala gigantesca possui um imponente trono de ouro no centro com alguns pilares ocos ao redor. Logo que os aventureiros começam a se espalhar pela sala procurando por pistas e analisando o novo ambiente, Paimon encosta no trono de ouro buscando algum entalhe oco no mesmo e Défilos se apresenta, ameaçando o grupo por sua intrusão.

O grupo se reorganiza rapidamente e oferta á Défilos conhecimento que acreditam faltar em seu portfólio, Paimon tenta oferecer informação referente à ovos de Wyverns mas é rapidamente desconsiderado pela faraó, é apenas quando Mira lhe conta do aprisionamento de Sabbatok e dos desdobres desse acontecimento que a serpente os tolera, ainda mantendo sua distância ela permite aos aventureiros que façam perguntem apenas uma coisa.

Paimon, após buscar a aprovação dos seus companheiros, pergunta sobre o paradeiro do Necronomicon. A serpente então lhes detalha a experiência de Abduh D’Salla com a Magia Pura, seu contato com o poder de Azzatoth e como essa experiência passa a corroer a sanidade do mago, anotando suas descobertas e problemas em um grimório feito de Pele, Sangue e Ossos de seres vivos. O mago no ápice de sua loucura descobriu que o Deus Dormente contém em si mesmo mil universos, através dessa ponte ele descobre os Outros Deuses e extrai de Azzatoth diversos segredos, agora inscritos em seu grimório profano.

Défilos também lhes conta do paradeiro deste grimório pelas eras, desde que Abdur o bane para o fundo do mar, onde é encontrado pela Rainha Yussa, depois banido para o Céu provocando um terremoto e fazendo com que Kloi o jogue nas areias de Qilan. Apenas para ser encontrado por um mercador que acaba o vendendo à Anktepoth, que assim como Abdur submerge-se no conhecimento proibido e consegue contatar os Outros Deuses, dando o pontapé inicial ao culto dessas divindades. Também descobrem que o livro maldito se encontra com Anktepoth na Cidade dos Mortos. 

O grupo, ainda mais em conflito com o papel da Grande Aranha e dos domínios do pavor na manutenção dos horrores que Anktepoth alimenta para o culto aos Outros Deuses não se dá por satisfeito com as respostas de apenas essa pergunta, e assim que vão embora do Recanto da Faraó tentam retornar a ela, apenas para serem teletransportados pelo círculo para caixões enterrados logo na saída de Muhar.

Ao escaparem rapidamente do seu pesadelo claustrofóbico (o mesmo que aflingiu Rayel em sua vinda ao Sombral) eles retomam sua rota ao Verdadeiro Sol, onde reencontram-se com Tuth na entrada de uma passagem que leva até lá, um Drow que guardava o acesso se apavorou com a presença de Tuth e Ametista e acreditou que elas lá estavam para levá-lo de volta à sociedade de onde havia fugido. O grupo os encontra após o conflito e ao verificarem que o Drow havia tido um lembrete de como as coisas funcionam na sua antiga comunidade as tensões entre a futura Matriarca e os aventureiros escala rapidamente.

Após um breve retorno ao Verdadeiro Sol, os aventureiros se separam, Paimon e Medeléia ficam na comunidade trocando conhecimento das suas línguas e também de formas para acessar a Cidade dos Mortos. Já Iccarion, Mira e Tokoyo partem para o Bairro dos Servos, onde pacificam a sua situação com Tuth e são convidados a jantar com um dos Sacerdotes de Muhar por Tuth, que o seduziu buscando acesso às informações da possibilidade de um caminho até Anktepoth. Nesse trajeto Iccarion também busca uma sela que possa utilizar na sua mais nova montaria.

Paimon descobre com Medeléia que há um tiferino de tons vermelho e preto que sacrificou sua alma para salvar Kaara e Medeléia, apesar do nulo contato entre estes desde então. Além disso, ela lhe confirma que existem procissões para levar os transformados até a Cidade dos Mortos (pessoas com pouca ou nenhuma importância) e um círculo de teletransporte para lá que parte do próprio templo em Muhar.
