First World,

Tasked by Tina Cardinalis, as part of resolving enmity to Chakrasul, to find a way to apologize for what I have done -- I will embark on a pilgrimage to welcome platypi to Sapience.

What are platypi?
-----------------
They are undinesque chimaeras with four webbed feet, a vampire-fanged rubbery bill, and a small fat body coated in sleek fur. Their eyes are of brightest jade. In my experience, the noises they make are terrified squeaks and squeals, but it is possible they might be capable of other sounds.

Most importantly, platypi are creations of Chakrasul. Sapience has not had time to study these creatures in depth.

Why are the platypi gone?
-------------------------
I brutalized the first of such creatures that she created, and it was then incinerated by the Morninglord. Based on reading I have done since, in a concise volume written by an ancient witch during the era that trees claimed the forest south of the Prelatorian -- the platypus may have initially presented a threat to the existent order of the forest, but something would have given. The wilds are flexible. The world adapts.

Worlds break, and worlds renew.

What will you do to welcome back platypi?
-----------------------------------------
This pilgrimage is important to me. I will be unarmed and do no battle, either verbal or physical. My focus will be on the task, and on prayer. Any are welcome to walk together, and pray for the platypi. Tina Cardinalis will accompany me, and you may follow her if you wish to attend but find a world-traitor too reprehensible to approach.

Having designed welcoming temporary shelter for any potentially-itinerant platypus, I intend to place these structures at six locations -- spaced out so that lines between might form the six-pointed star of the Indoron across the continent of Sapience. At each location, I will build a hutch, and make my prayers.

Though I have forsworn fighting for the duration of pilgrimage, those with me might fight if any choose to attack the caravan.

When does this pilgrimage begin?
--------------------------------
After the Howling. This week.


by my will,
Edhain Arcan
