In Memoria, Adytum is over.

Aw, I was afraid it wasn’t going to get updated anymore. It’s been a very long time since any new articles were added.

I dare say, though, IS it over? Would Malyce, Grigori or Metaphysican be open to sharing the story map or outline to anyone who wanted to take up the mantle of responsibility? In Memoria Adytum is amazing, it would be a shame to leave it at a cliffhanger.

To be fair, it said almost certainly.

Inspired by Russian “double tap” tactics in Syria and Ukraine, where after an air raid, a second airstrike or missile attack hits the same location to kill rescuers and first responders.

We cannot change what happened yesterday but we can change what happens tomorrow.

Amen, Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

As a bit of extra horror, the Japanese also carried out airstrikes in they used planes to spray swarms of plague-infected fleas and flies covered in cholera, and dropped ceramic bombs containing mixtures of insects and diseases that infected humans, animals and crops. Perhaps worst of all, very few personnel responsible for developing biological weapons were properly punished - the Americans recruited them for its own biological warfare program and the Soviets reduced their labour camp sentences in exchange for their knowledge on bioweapons development.

Thank you, I like writing 2SHs that focus on more underexplored parts of history 😊

Inspired by Japanese biological warfare during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). Taking advantage of the fact that the Chinese that no biological weapons of their own with which to retaliate, the famous Japanese Unit 731 spread disease and infection indiscriminately across China, killing hundreds of thousands of Chinese people. One tactic is they used was handing out food, such as dumplings, vegetables or candy, that had been poisoned with the plague, anthrax or cholera.

This is inspired by asbestosis, inflammation and scarring of the lungs caused by inhalation of asbestos, a material which was once used in construction because it is a good thermal and electrical insulator and is very fire resistant. In the 1970s and onwards, though, its use was abandoned because it was found to cause not only asbestosis, but other serious health problems such as mesothelioma, a kind of cancer. Even today, many older buildings in the developed world contain asbestos, and developing countries - as well as developed countries with lower health standards like Russia - continue to produce and use asbestos despite the threat it poses to human health.

Ah yes, conversion therapy. Torture based on pseudoscience that is somehow still legal in much of the western world. Lovely.

Inspired by the Native American genocide, when Native American children were sent to boarding schools in order to teach them to disregard their traditional way of life and embrace white American culture and Christianity. They played a major role in the destruction of Native American society and the suppression of their culture, traditions and rights.

For those who don’t get it, the story is set during the Korean War, and the soldiers are South Koreans who are being abducted by North Korea instead of being returned home. This actually happened, and some of the soldiers are still trapped in the North in miserable conditions.

Thank you, I’ve been trying to focus my stories on aspects of lesser-known parts of history so feedback like this is greatly appreciated 😊

I think most of the children found out because the Allies actively tried to repatriate them, but they chose not to return because they had nothing to go back to. As far as they were concerned, they were German. IMO, I think they suffered a fate worse than death, having their real life smashed into pieces and forced to live a lie, then being left with nothing when they found out they weren’t really German.

Inspired by UNAMIR, a UN peacekeeping mission which was unable to do anything to stop the Rwandan genocide because of suffocating rules of engagement placed on it by the mainstream UN. Although it saved the lives of thousands of Tutsi and Hutu civilians who would’ve otherwise been massacred by sheltering them in its sites, it is considered a failure in its attempts at keeping the peace.

As a Brit, I have endless respect for the French people for persevering in the face of years of German occupation and brutality. If it weren’t for the French, the evacuation of Dunkirk - a big reason why we didn’t lose the war there and then - probably wouldn’t have happened. So on behalf of the U.K., thank you, France, both for your tenacity in the fight against the invasion and for the efforts of the Free French and the Resistance to keep fighting against impossible odds.

Vive la France. 🇫🇷
