Dennison tells you, "Can I ask you a question?"
You tell Disciple Dennison, "You just did, but you can have another."
Dennison tells you, "What happened to Yggdrasil?"
You tell Disciple Dennison, "You know, I don't believe I have notes on that at all. Long before my
time, I think."
Dennison tells you, "Because I was taking the path down to Cyrene, which isn't there, and I stopped
to look at it. But it's upturned."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Cyrene?"
Dennison tells you, "It was a city."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Uh. No city I've ever heard of."

You tell Disciple Dennison, "Where are you getting this information, lad?"
Dennison tells you, "You know where Hashan is, right?"
You tell Disciple Dennison, "The ruins of it, yes."
Dennison tells you, "It used to be one of the city states."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Where did you read that? Sounds like someone's been leading you on, lad.
"
Dennison tells you, "Could you meet me there? I want to tell you about it."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Tell me about... what, this story you've been told?"
Dennison tells you, "See where the two shops are?"
Dennison tells you, "That was the bazaar."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Well, yes, it's easy enough to tell where the trading and residential
areas and whatnot of Hashan were."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Have an interest in that sort of thing then, do you?"
Dennison tells you, "Well, I've been here before, before it was ruins. I was a citizen of it."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "...I highly doubt that, lad."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Unless the bureaucrats are -very- wrong about having you written down
as eighteen years of age."
Dennison tells you, "The crossroads where where we met to talk and have fun."
Dennison tells you, "Maybe the triad place is still here."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "The what?"
Dennison tells you, "It's not there. It was like The Chapel of All Gods."
Dennison tells you, "It's still here, right?"
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Are these stories your parents told you or something?"
Dennison tells you, "No. I remember this stuff clear as day."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "And... how long ago was all this?"
Dennison tells you, "It was around 400 years after the Seleucarian Empire."
Dennison tells you, "The fall of the Seleucarian Empire."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "The... right. I should be taking notes on this. And who are these
Seleucarians of yours?"
Dennison tells you, "I don't know who they are. They were long before my time."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Uh huh. so when are you saying you lived in these places?"
Dennison tells you, "About 400 years after the fall of the Seleucarian Empire."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Right, but when was that?"
Dennison tells you, "I don't really know how to explain it. It's like how you guys have year
whatever of the Midnight Age."
Dennison tells you, "But instead of that, we had After the Fall."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "'you guys'. You're... from somewhere else?"
Dennison tells you, "Same world. Just different time."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "You are fascinating."
Dennison tells you, "The six city states were."
Dennison tells you, "Hashan, crown of the Ithmias."
Dennison tells you, "Targossas, The Dawnspear."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "I mean, really. Such detailed delusions!"
Dennison tells you, "Mhaldor, the city of Evil."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Go on."
Dennison tells you, "Ashtan, Bastion of the North."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Ashtan! Now there's a familiar name. Though it's been a crater for
rather longer than you've been alive."
Dennison tells you, "Cyrene, Heart of the Vashnars."
Dennison tells you, "And The Villiage of Eleusis."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Oh, that's another one the real world has. Or had. It's a giant tree
now, I hear."
Dennison tells you, "The Great Oak."
Zinth tells you, "Ooh striking bird. I've only seen owls before."
Dennison tells you, "Thats what the villiage was built on."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "I think they call it something like that, yes."
Dennison tells you, "It was home to the Druids, the Sentinels, and the Sylvans."
Dennison tells you, "All were dedicated to the preservation of the forest."
dennison What, pray tell, is a Sylvan?
You tell Disciple Dennison, "What, pray tell, is a Sylvan?"
Dennison tells you, "They're like scholars."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Fascinating, fascinating."
Dennison tells you, "They were a cross between a Magi and a Druid."
Dennison tells you, "For their skills."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "I see."
Dennison tells you, "Anything else you want to know?"
You tell Disciple Dennison, "I really would love to know where you got these ideas."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "I imagine you're so... entrenched in them that you wouldn't really have
a useable answer for me, though."
Dennison tells you, "Delos was how to the Carnivalis Institute of Jestering."
Dennison tells you, "Home, rather."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Don't suppose your fall-of-the-empire date system has any correlation
with the real world's dates?"
Dennison tells you, "The days seem to be the same length, as do the months, but the names of the
months are different."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Mm, I imagine they would be. Does your world have its own gods and
whatnot?"
Dennison tells you, "Yep."
Dennison tells you, "Phaestus, Scarlatti, Pandora, Babel, Sartan, and some other ones."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "So here's a question. How did you get here, in the real world?"
You tell Disciple Dennison, "If you're from this mystical other time."
Dennison tells you, "That's what I'm trying to figure out."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Let me know if you make any progress on that front, right?"
Dennison tells you, "Okay."
Dennison tells you, "Could you keep quiet about it, and only tell people who you think can help
about it?"
Dennison tells you, "I don't want everybody thinking I'm insane."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "I wasn't intending on making a song and dance of it. We like our
Cabalists to not seem deluded if we can help it."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "Though at times that is, ahah. Difficult."
Dennison tells you, "You probably think I am, don't you?"
You tell Disciple Dennison, "I won't lie, lad, you're telling me stories about things I'm quite sure
don't exist. But they are remarkably complex ideas, which is interesting in itself."
Dennison tells you, "They don't exist anymore, that is."
You tell Disciple Dennison, "I think you'd be hard-pressed finding any sort of proof that they ever
did."
