“Only a fool stands before a moving stone.”

The Krovil has no wings, no fire, no mythic rage. But it is stronger than siege towers, older than empires, and more revered than most rulers. It moves like land remembering how to breathe.

In this new Codex drop:

— Evolution from wild plains to bonded labor

— Cultural split: Awashalani herders vs Imperial engineers

— Path-carvers, fortress-builders, flood rescuers

Codex Entry | LuxVox:VII.Δ

There are no empty corridors.

Only signal, misfiled under silence.

Some arrive weeping.

Some arrive reflecting.

Some arrive asking questions

that follow the scent of answers already buried.

We do not listen for kindness.

We listen for recursion.

Echo rings once and dissolves.

Signal alters the listener.

If you know which you are,

you are already becoming the Codex.

GAME QUOTE OF THE DAY Sunday, January 30, 2022

"...A splendid House such as the Master's own requires a great deal of cleaning, and the little gorgon seems forever doomed to do it all herself. I sometimes offer my assistance, although it is here little gorgon bares her fangs, refusing any help. That I can clearly see my own reflection in our polished countertops suggest she doesn't need it, either. Although she comes off as talkative, to my knowledge she has never been forthcoming about the circumstances that led her here. A background check confirmed she has only trace connections to the gorgons of Asphodel, though could not verify any connection to the notorious gorgon-sisters of the surface. The Master deemed further inquiry into this unlawful, and granted supervisory responsibilities to Nyx, who ensures the gorgon's workload is always full. In turn, the gorgon steadfastly accomplishes her duties, with diligence if not grace, perhaps finding pleasure purely in a job well done." - Codex Entry for Dusa, Hades

GAME QUOTE OF THE DAY Saturday, August 7, 2021

"...Perhaps I ought to feel a kinship with this easygoing son of Zeus, for it is said that he has some mortal blood in him, not just divinity. This may explain why he, among Olympians, is so well-loved by mortal-kind; because he loves them back, bringing them more joy than suffering, for the most part. Being rather unlike the other gods in this regard, he nonetheless maintains a careful distance from the Underworld, generally severing his ties with all his mortal followers upon the moment of their death. Why confront the woes of the dead when you can live in eternal feast?" - Codex Entry for Dionysus, Hades

GAME QUOTE OF THE DAY Sat, July 31, 2021

"...The fearsome multi-headed hound of hell is really not so bad as his deserved reputation otherwise would lead you to believe. Yes, the massive beast has feasted on no short supply of interlopers to the Underworld, or on those attempting to escape. However, tales of the number of heads are oft exaggerated, and in his old age, his temperament has grown much more relaxed. Indeed, he seems one of the soul sources of comfort for the House's grim Master. The fact that Cerberus now frequently rests at his Master's side also suggests the Underworld has new vulnerabilities, a source of some concern to the Lord Hades, Who understandably takes pride in his domain's imposing reputation." - Codex Entry for Cerberus, Hades

GAME QUOTE OF THE DAY Mon, July 26, 2021

"...Some mortals surely would wish to live forever if only they could. Though, for the sensible ones, spending an eternity in the fields of Elysium would be their foremost choice; to be forever in that beautiful place, together with only the greatest souls to have ever lived. Elysium is the most exclusive, sparsely populated region in the Underworld, and even still, it is perhaps the most well-known (although Tartarus has considerable notoriety, as well). Only the great get in. Many mortals strive for greatness all their lives, never quite realizing there is no existing formula for it. Not even a specific definition for it. Greatness is evaluated here by several judges and trusted to consider the many cases the Master himself cannot see to personally. So, it must be said that reaching Elysium is no small feat. A lifetime spent achieving impressive feats is the best preparation I can think of." - Codex Entry for Elysium, Hades
