colress liked your post. 26s

I commend your definition of light reading!

[necroyalty]

Oh dear, perhaps there weren't enough books?

[pokexplorer]

Quite the contrary! I would say it is a very good amount. Did you purchase them, or is this a healthy selection from the library?

[necroyalty]

A little bit of both. It's going to be an absolute mess when I have to reorganize, but it's a risk I'm willing to take.

[pokexplorer]

And one more than worth taking! Have any Prismal writings stricken your curiosity in particular?

[necroyalty]

More by what's lacking than what is here. Two hundred years is far too short a time for any and all writings from before that period to have somehow been lost to the ages.

My own world underwent a calamity centuries ago as theirs did, and yet... I'll admit that primary texts are few, but we have seen other writers reference long-forgotten tomes. Hints of what life was like before the Revelry in secondary sources. Hazy memories of things that someone's parents or grandparents knew... oral traditions.

Even if some tyrant tries to scrub the slate clean, history is a difficult stain to wash out completely.

Given that, I would expect inconsistencies and a patchwork of surviving texts for this planet as well, yes, but not a barren waste.

sorry for my late reply!

[pokexplorer]

That is quite the mystery, isn't it? I cannot help but wonder if a form of magic is at play here, for not even the survivors to have recorded or at least spread their experiences of the Calamity through word of mouth.

At the very least, I do not suspect that the Prismals of today are intentionally withholding information, as they seem to be just as interested in uncovering their past as we are.

it's fine

[necroyalty]

It's almost certainly the case. My own world's calamity was brought about by a mad god on a destructive rampage; it's a wonder anything survived at all.

What I do wonder, however, is whether some entity may have erased the memories of everyone who was alive for the event.

It would explain how uniform their lack of knowledge is - once again, back home? The Revelry was three thousand years ago, but most of what we know comes from the writings and collected memories of the elves, who live around six or seven hundred years on average.

Do the math, and give or take a generation, it's not too different from the Prismals' two hundred. Assuming, of course, that they live about as long as humans do.
