#nonnigus

I am of the opinion that it was a purposeful representation of its nature; Ezeem was made by the Grail and serves her in her aspect. It is a flirtatious being, having made attempts with the Forge herself. In any case where it wasn't purposefully meant to be read in a more mature light, trust in that you aren't alone with such thoughts. Everyone is free to indulge in their interpretations.

— The Nonnigus

If you deep enough down, everyone has each principle, but the act of having it show through means you are an extreme, perhaps maddeningly so.

To yearn too much, to inherently crave change in all ways, is to showcase Moth.

To be mindlessly persistent and energized far beyond common mortal capabilities is to be Heart, and to be utterly insatiable in all aspects of your life and to crave fullness is to be Grail.

To create and destroy and recreate and repeat is to be Forge, and to unabashedly seek wisdom beyond your comprehension is Lantern.

With Edge there is comradery and the rivalries that go too far, where the edge is both a blade and a cliff where brotherhoods and blood are tested. And Winter is the quiet in the wake of it all, and is honestly the most mortal in nature, but also the most artificial in it's deafening emptiness.

With Knock there are the ways in which we go about life, where it is the opener of the Secret Histories we crave, where we let others use us as a stepping stone.

Everyone is every aspect, and the Hours are the reflection of our whims just as every god before, showing a piece of every person, even deep down, and those that rise below them are their utter extremes that we keep buried.

❝ As for the other pieces of my chart, these are based on studying old books and reaching into the deeper crevices of dreams. My work is speculation of course, and there are perhaps things worth altering or removing, but my theories are... quite sound. — THE NONNIGUS ❞

Yes this is what im thinking of when I have a headache and am very tired.

⊰-–—–-⊱ THE MENISCATE ⊰-–—–-⊱

The Names of the Meniscate are of moonlight and shattered glass. They are crafted without a form intended, and those she treasures are hidden in her mirrored House of the Moon. They are of light but hide in shadow, using it as inks and poisons. Their blood runs black and pools in dark shadows.

⊰-–—–-⊱ THE SUN-IN-RAGS ⊰-–—–-⊱

Those of the Sun-in-Rags are cold in presence and touch, creating a fog as they chill the air around them. Blood is in their footsteps, a consequence of the Ascent of Knives. Despite their cold, a light can be seen within them, warm and orange, but ever freezing. They are of ice, and they are as beautiful as they were when they ended their own mortality.

⊰-–—–-⊱ THE MADRUGAD ⊰-–—–-⊱

The Madrugad's Names are quiet and stiff as the stone they are recrafted into. They keep tallies, assisting the exchanging of Years, as when Years are given, some must be taken. They are cold, but only as an autumn dawn, frosted lightly like morning grass and wet with dew. They keep graves marked and watch over the dead so they may rise and serve when summoned.

Moth as a principle is one many understand. It is named for the midnight Hour and the erratic movements of a moth, as well as the metamorphosis of such creatures and other insects.

But another thing that it has in common with its namesake is the trickery which moths partake in. Camouflage is something that a number of moth species are known for, namely blending in with woods or mimicking the eyes of owls and other predatory or potentially dangerous creatures.

Deceit is something that, in terms of the game, is tied to the principle of moth. Moth-aligned followers are expected to assist in the destruction of evidence. Moth-aligned hirelings are swindlers. A Skintwister could be one that changes, a being who, for lack of better terms on hand, could polymorph or shapeshift into another entity with agonizing ease.

A mask is an item with which to conceal and gives the option of hiding one's truths, and all moth-aligned are capable of such, but none more than the Velvet and the Vagabond.

Partially because it'll make me design all the Hours at last

1. Red Grail will beat him to death

2. They love each other so damn much you would not believe-
