In Thorne there isn't much useful information recorded about their gods, at least not in the castle.

Considering recent events - anyone else having luck in their research? The mirror, the poison berry - have these symbols appeared before?

[harmonian]

I've been wondering about this as well. Have you learned anything?

[ushiri]

Nothing beyond the myths that can be found in the castle's library. Not even names.

The symbols aren't familiar to me either.

[harmonian]

Me neither.

I wonder if this was some sort of attack or something from the Singularity...

[ushiri]

What makes you think that?

[harmonian]

Were you around when we all had nightmarish visions? It was awful.

Our connection with the Singularity had something to do with it.

[ushiri]

I wasn't, but I've briefly heard it mentioned before. What happened?

[harmonian]

Something was happening within the Singularity and it caused us all to have vivid nightmares.

We could enter each other dreams. And not just us either. There was something else there with us, some sort of presence that was trying to escape the nightmare.

Here in Thorne we managed to banish the nightmares with a magic spell but it left us unable to sleep for quite a while.

[ushiri]

Did anyone of the castle mages have an explanation for what happened?

[harmonian]

Nothing satisfying.

Sometimes I think the people with the most answers keep those answers to themselves.

[ushiri]

When it benefits them.

Do you remember the spell used to banish the nightmares?

[harmonian]

Mostly. The whole thing required more power than we expected, that's why we had insomnia afterward. We were too tired to sleep.

Why do you ask?

[ushiri]

Just curious how it worked.
