I am the Master of the Eclipse Court.

In his great Wisdom, Aarklar saw the need for Balance in the world, and so created the Eclipse Court. When Aarklar left, I was elected. The Eclipse Court's other members are Arcadia, Koel, Simjen, and uKulwa.

When the Balance has been good, we have had great power. Figuring the Balance cannot be maintained if the world is destroyed, we have used that power to try to save the world. Which helps explain how Simjen was able to heal that crack so nicely. And a portion of the power sent to The Unknowable just now is the Eclipse Court's power.

Our oracle is The Nameless. When the Sunset and Sunrise oracles said what Madadeva just shared with us, The Nameless said this:

The Nameless wrote:They are wakened.

The burning darkness and the grinding flesh,
Arising from the shadowed past,
They wreak the world by divine decree,
The end is nigh! The end is nigh!

One who stood against the coming tide
Is ended;
One who stood against the rising dark
Is come.

Souls unnumbered cry for deliverance,
From the fickle whims of men and gods;
Hubris and folly have call'd down from high
What has begun and must perforce end.

One path now stands before the High Ones;
Sacrifice.
One path now stands before the Low Ones;
Destruction.

And all that has been said and done,
All the deeds of gods and powers,
Stands on the edge of precipice,
Judgment has nigh begun.

And those who stand in eclipsed dark
Must guide.
And those whose suns both rise and fall
Must hear.

The plea has been heard, the challenge spoken.

We were told to guide. But I did not think it would be a good idea to reveal ourselves, so I guided the effort that The Unknowable is making in the manner I did. Now, it seems that Kholtanos is saying such guiding is not enough, and wants us to reveal ourselves. So here I am. If all will abide the one deity's guidance who stands before the Eclipsed Gods, I guess I'm that one.

Of course, I've already said what I think the likelihood of all abiding one is, but perhaps something can be worked out.

And it seems obvious that Simjen is to be instrumental in things.

I'm going to be leaving town tonight, and I won't be able to get back on the Watch until the 21st. So, I need to submit my turn today. If anyone has a plan that I would be of particular help with, I would appreciate being told about it.

But of course, that doesn't mean there isn't an effort going on to learn more about them someone has chosen not to share with cho...

Would be nice to know if any of them caused any actual damage or harm, instead of mere speculation that they might do so. I know the white-hot light coming from the portal in the Shylan causes cho to shriek in pain whenever she looks at it; but that is all I definitely know regarding that so far. And so far, I do not know if the fissures are similar or not. However, offhand my feeling is they are not.

I know the white-hot light coming from the portal in the Shylan causes cho to shriek in pain whenever she looks at it;

I think that's about all the clue you need to figure that one out. No one else is shrieking in pain. Hmmm. Maybe you should attempt to communicate with it.
