deepest lore

@Ratty do you think that anyone ever made a serious effort to map the akashic realm, or at least create a simulation that could reasonably predict what the landscape would look like

Ratty - 04/24/2018
I would say attempts were made (by the Second in particular) but the layout changes as witches pass all around
it's hellish version of Earth

>reasonably predicting the Akashic realm
are you a Navigator

Ratty - 04/24/2018
It is not, strictly speaking, the Warp

Attarou - 04/24/2018
I figured that the second would work with the twelfth and ask them to make sense of this shit long enough to plot a map

Ratty - 04/24/2018
Well, where are you going to travel when more then a few days inside is haram?
It certainly would be bad for the setting if a map existed because that implies the location of Fortress of Regrets would be known for starters, but more importantly, it takes away options
time and space are convoluted in the akashic realm etc etc

Attarou - 04/24/2018
I figured they'd want to know what's within 50 miles of a given gate

Ratty - 04/24/2018
if you ever pull something out of your ass in this setting, this is the place, and it should be left with the capacity to provide that
50 miles is pretty reasonable

Attarou - 04/24/2018
yeah
just a general map that sometimes needs updating because something fucky passed through
within the proximity of a gate

Ratty - 04/24/2018
I would also say the akashic realm would interfere with clairvoyance, not completely but enough to give false negatives and not be reliable

Attarou - 04/24/2018
that's probably why they have to map it manually
and with computers
and probably with some kind of double-blind bullshit so that wookie world wierdness doesn't screw up their instruments
at the very least they should have all the general landmarks mapped out within 50 miles

>landmarks around an officio's gate would be named by those officios >thus you get stuff like The Pits of Despair, The Cliffs of Agony, and Mount Suffering

Sugarmom Chiaki - 04/24/2018
Where's Mount Pancake?

Attarou - 04/24/2018
>and then there's "Fucking Asshole Pond", "Christine x Josephine 4Eva Cove", "The Plains of Fuckall", and "Beer Lake".

Moshiko先輩 - 04/24/2018
I just ate it

Attarou - 04/24/2018
>Beer Lake doesn't have beer, it just makes you want a beer

Siesta - 04/24/2018
Wow that's hell

Attarou - 04/24/2018
>Some people name stars after their lovers. >Some people name roads after them >Megucas name parts of the blasted hellscape of time after them
It's kind of like hell, so of course it's hellish!

Siesta - 04/24/2018
Speaking of which
Maredsous SO GOOD

Attarou - 04/24/2018
>some officios carve graffiti into the landscape
>sometimes it gets fucked up somehow
>other times responses are carved by invisible hands

Ratty - 04/24/2018
I like this lore attarou
should use

Attarou - 04/24/2018
>"for a good time call Erin" and has a phone number
>seconds later "Erin is a good girl" spontaneously appears and the phone number is scratched out
>somebody painted a mural on a cliffside >CHAOS adds graffiti

Ratty - 04/24/2018
I spent half an hour on a bus stop in a village in bumfuck nowhere and the stop was made of bricks and the bricks were sticking out each on its own, and there was a school nearby
almost missed the bus to read through all of that
I mean, about two weeks ago, in school years that would just be normal

Attarou - 04/24/2018
sorry

Ratty - 04/24/2018
it's always fascinating to see the new and the old on the wall
no matter how many walls there are SOMEONE is going to be gay
this one had a pretty elaborate web of someone saying that the popular girl (Gottfried?) was the best and a good friend and then had a discussion following that about how she wasn't or was
I think twenty bricks later she was not the most popular girl in the school anymore
someone's life, recalled in stilted prose
a chorus of hyperactive children recording my every action
I was on a bus stop mural
funny as hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of
