Lead: Partial HistoriographyDescription
530The March Doctor's Decretal posits that where light does not reach is not necessarily an absence. All manner of things can be concealed in the dark. History. Biology. The conjunction of both.
531There is such a long gap in the record between the Fourth and Fifth Cities. With a certain creative license, one can imagine a great many things occurring. What is the decay of a city if not its transformation?
532[...] diverse monuments littered between Hell and the shores of London. Places where Correspondence sears and burns [...] What hidden language and law has been occluded by the searing truth that desperately needs to affirm itself so?
533[...] There is nothing besides the Chain. There can be no things that live on two legs or four or none without first genuflecting to the authority Above. There is nothing without the light. There is nothing without the law. There is nothing at all.
