Raiel, Okami, Ehbol (in the flesh), other representatives of Nameless Orders (other Indigenous shamans, Diamond Order apostates, Wild West investigators), and some 'lesser powers' to gather in Purgatory Bluff.

  • Liberator Moros dispatched to find Quintessence from tableaus.
  • Shaman to work through the Shadow to find Places that Are Not
  • Max to organize strike forces.
  • Petrichor provides a letter of introduction for the Liberators to the Boston Consilium

Architect to work with the Ephemeral squad on a spell powered strike against the tendrils (Legba and Petrichor need to locate them all still, Solace now has target on her back).

Catherine (Sibyl) found to be absolutely burning herself out trying to KNOW the next steps to take and beginning to stress out. (Jules providing a tincture of something?)

War breaks out.


4/25/25

Unknown is visited.

He has a wonderful relationship with his Spirit court of Mayan animals with the matching animals free to move about his sanctum, a loose menagerie of prowling beasts, kept hungry but alive with Knit, so not actually free. In parallel, there are his Sleeper servants, in blissful, drugged out, hedonistic reveries, and senseless acts of violence.

4/26/24 - Within the Maelstrom

End Goal: locate a Time Supernal Being.

Challenges: Tornados, Hurricanes, Gravitational surges, RADIATION, Swirling patterns of light, Spheres of modified velocity, Fire whirls

Interactions:

Death/Forces Shade: Seated and ritually cloaked Death figure, a human face that blurs between several but there is a specific man's face there that appears more than any others. Narrow face, a nose that was once broken to the left, eyes that glow within the iris. "Father of the New Death". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_Oppenheimer#/media/File:Oppenheimer_(cropped).jpg

Life/Forces Atavism: A 4-legged, 2-armed dark stormcloud. Feral, destructive. Rank 3 (9/8/7)

Ahibahu: Gnosis 8 Obrimos who has lashed together a fortress of elemental forces, their sanctum and laboratory. Fully inhuman, speaking only High Speech. Does not appear to match the powers known as Archmastery. Deeply spiritual about the Supernal Beings, studying them, but not worshipping them. CORPSES of some Supernal Beings within a lab.

  • Knows the way to some of the 'stable' places within the Maelstrom. Or used to...
  • Occult (Supernal Beings) 7
  • Obsessions:
    • How does one BECOME a Supernal Being?
    • Is the Aether at the center of the Maelstrom... or is it the raw Supernal Realm?
    • Can one create a Familiar bond with a Supernal Being?
