Summary

Has the news reached you, friend? A group of merchants form Rosemerrow told me today that a new wing to the Old Museum in Westshore-Upon-Sea is opening next month. (How I wish we could walk its halls and debate the merits of its exhibits—but ah, it's more than snow that separates us these days.) So instead, let me ask you a question, dearest Arrell…

The Creed of Samothes is clear that Truth is a reflection of His Holy Light, and should be pursued above all else. Yet I recall from our early lessons that you hold a case for falsehood, too. 'Even His Sun,' you told me 'is a well-meaning deceit, as it appears above us, celestial, yet was built from (and some say, remains in) the ground itself." I will not open old wounds—I do not want you to convince me of this heresy—I only wonder: Do you still believe it?

Yours, always, in heedless faith…

This week on Winter in Hieron: A Museum in the Distance

Alyosha, in your ardor (for me or Samothes, who can say), you have misremembered my lesson. I never said that a false history was preferable. I simply said that all histories are false, and that it was our duty to choose the ones that suit us best.

0:11.6	It is night time now, snow drifts quietly down from the clouds. It drifts on to hilltops and
0:20.7	rooftops, into chimneys, and onto streets, where the high society of Rosemarrow move with haste towards a museum in the distance.
0:35.0	It is a night of balls and of masks and of politicking.
0:40.0	And then the camera pans up and we see four figures running on a rooftop in the snow.
0:49.0	Behind them a figure leaps from roof to roof, snarling and chomping at the air.

1:01.0	Fantasmo. Fantasmo.
1:04.0	There is a large, I'd say 8 foot tall, like hyena man, snapping at your feet.
1:15.0	And under your feet there is ice.
1:18.0	Everyone else jumps over this bit of ice, but it catches you until you slip and slide and then there is a giant hyena man just above you pinning you to the ground. What do you do?
