Re: (Msonus) The Lesser Hills of Som
Msonus saw the shimmering of aligned light, the collection of thoughts of Parscle arranged beautifully in front of him, and learned of the Architects: originally created as an esoteric brotherhood after Msonus returned from Earth, inspired by the Masonic and Western Mystery traditions of the occult he found there, the original purpose of the Architects was to guard something - something very important. But what? That was the final reveal, given on the 32nd or 33rd - Parscle was sketchy on this point - Degree.
The Architects had almost died out, unfortunately, though they'd taken exile from the world even as long ago as the Age of Leagues, when they were declared traitors and hunted without mercy. There they fled to the far Eastern Mountains - which Eastern Mountains? This was unclear, too, though Parscle knew of which mountains he couldn't quite show Msonus what, exactly, they were, because they were obviously much more than mountains. They were hidden things. Since the disappearance of Msonus they'd followed his own teachings, studying his texts and the esoteric mysteries, the mysticism of magic, and - most dangerously - the past.
