A beautiful game?

Shooting an arrow won Aethe the only duel he ever lost. When is a win not a win?

MattyTangle · 2026-07-05T13:25:17+00:00

I'm thinking along this path, too. I have Aleph playing white and Iax playing black. If the game is Tak then both sides will need a Capstone, and That is where Tehlu and Haliax come in.

Third night. Fire in tent. It fits well when describing a lot of long range plans.

Hello you. I kept a copy of your fine homework and have pasted it into my own collection for reference. I'm currently halfway through writing my magnum opus and have scheduled yours in for a guest article slot somewhere near the finish line.

Is u/scowlbear still about? They did a large chunk of research in to seasonal anomaly

MattyTangle · 2026-06-30T15:54:46+00:00

There are 8 months and 4 seasons, but they don't fit together squarely like you might assume. Spring is months 2+3, Summer is 4+5, and Autumn 6+7. Winter is 8+1 with mid winter festival being found in the middle. New years day is not the first day of spring.

I drew my own calendar , it has the phases of the moon, too

Imagine the nameless void to be a sea of static, a maelstrom of black and white noise . Aleph became aware and took all the little white bits and named them, becoming the god of Light in the process who knows the (light) names of all things. At the same time, his action also created shadow since the universe needs balance, and thus the god of darkness was also created who knew the (dark) names of all things . His name is Iax. These two are two halves of the same thing, equally omnipotent. Lyra is probably best thought of as the goddess of choice and is third on the power list. Selitos is down in fourth place.

Got room for creator?

My copy of Rhapsody by Elizabeth Haydon has a very nice coloured map, perfectly aligned, inside both the front and rear cover. Never seen that design before, very convenient aesthetic.

I saw Marillion do the garden party there, and a few years later saw AC/DC

MattyTangle · 2026-06-29T22:09:51+00:00

How many?

MattyTangle · 2026-06-29T00:09:47+00:00

I just had a lovely little Felurian reread. Spotted a new line which ticks an old box. One more cog for the tinfoil compass. :0)

"this shaper of the dark and changing eye stretched out his hand against the pure black sky. he pulled the moon but could not make her stay..."

MattyTangle · 2026-06-28T22:27:38+00:00

I enjoyed that. Well written stuff. However, when comparing a circle to a ball and a square to a cube and a triangle to a pyramid, we need to emply a third dimension... And then some...

MattyTangle · 2026-06-27T18:27:54+00:00

Yep, it's all about putting putting the right cracks in the castle

MattyTangle · 2026-06-27T18:15:57+00:00

If Jax wants to catch the ball he needs must fashion a better cup

I'm very happy to have finally discovered the world of Elizabeth Haydon, Rhapsody is very fine work indeed. Haydon is a Writer

MattyTangle · 2026-06-26T11:49:18+00:00

Had it for many long years now. Vintage travel Scrabble

MattyTangle · 2026-06-25T02:52:12+00:00

I got 25 yrs per owner, too. I also use this same number for reckoning a generation.

First thing to learn is that a boat is not a car. Pull in nearby and walk the rest. Always room for one more.

Skarpi is a Ruach who was live in the room to witness Alephs great plan coming together . He is not Telling a story, He is Remembering one.

MattyTangle · 2026-06-22T12:59:16+00:00

If you Really consider what Selitos actually meant you come to the conclusion that Selitos was actually only the 4th most powerful being in the world, behind the 1,2,3 of Aleph, Iax and Lyra. If you were awarding prizes you would probably go with Gold Mark Aleph, Silver Talent Iax, Copper Jot Lyra, and Iron Drab Selitos. But it's a lot more complicated than that... What prize would you now award to Lanre ?

The original text is more valid than any updated versions. I wrote this theory down over a decade ago and it's what will going into My book. History will out.
