Description summary:
The description varies based on your level of Lead: Partial Historiography.
Lead: Historiography | Description |
---|---|
421 | Volumes bound in what you hope is leather speak of a queen, a counting house and a pie. The reference is obvious, its implications obscure. Further research is required. |
422 | Further study reveals a banquet […] in Prague […] Discreet emissaries sent below, chasing rumours of Prester John […] As a legend it has its uses: as the known edges of the world expand, the Prester can be moved to somewhere it is less obvious that he is not. |
423 | A journal in violant ink that is only revealed […] next to a book of decidedly risque poetry suggests much: music in Vienna is said to have a correspondence with Hell. Certain composers are attuned to it, though do not recognise its implications. |
424 | The surviving journals of a Genoese scholar are suggestive: if Hell's influence can extend beyond its borders while devils remain below the Surface, another agency must be implicated. Is there a principle that unites Hell with another – or others? |
