The Hour of the Illuminated.
| The Hour of the Illuminated | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Ortus is the Hour of Awakening, and finds the Illuminated in Zenith's lower lower loggias. They call these tunnels the Stoae of Sleep; once the herd has awoken, they will move onwards as one. |
| 2 | It is Vescors, when man and Miser feed. The Illuminated find succour in the feeding-warrens, on the very fringes of Zenith's fortress. Those who arrive first get first pick of the tunnels' bounties. |
| 3 | There is no indication that the place that the Illuminated call 'the baths' is anything but another of Zenith's endless series of drippy, carven courtyards and peristyles. […] they spend the Hour of Lavares cleansing their flock, and so the name sticks. |
| 4 | The endless circular migration of the Illuminated stops now in a high series of peripheral nooks and caves that they call the Pails. It is the Hour of Mulgeres, and time for the Moon-Misers to be milked. |
| 5 | Emerging from the Pails, the Illuminated scatter according to opaque and unspoken agreements. During the Hour of Fulgents, the false-stars must live up to their names. |
| 6 | The Hours conclude with Sopios, the time of rest. With this return, the Illuminated complete another daily peregrination through Zenith's tangled circumference. |
