Welcome
We share the bright and now, traveler =name=.
Chavvah
This keter roams above my trunk at Eyn Roj, traveler =name=, and across the Stair I dream. You found me, this keter where I chime in dozens.
Chime
Ah, I am in need, and so I turned my chimes trunkward to tune. You struck the chime and now you are here. Are you a waterhand, and free?
Work
My chimeling Tau leaves Chavvah, leaves me. It is her choice.
Her transit-psyche manifests at the bottom of Taproot, where we cannot consciously go. To finish the ritual of -elseing, to let Tau become -else, I need a traveler such as you, =name=.
Work2
Take Tau's chime, silent and still. Carry it to the bottom of Taproot, deep under my trunk, where she will make the chime her transit-body and walk away forever. Finish the ritual of -elseing.
At the bottom of Taproot, Tau manifests. She tells us, too, that another waits for her there.
[1] I will do as you ask. | Gives the ![]() |
[2] I have more to ask, first. |

ActiveQuest
Take Tau's chime, silent and still. Carry it to the bottom of Taproot, deep under my trunk, where she will make the chime her transit-body and walk away forever. Finish the ritual of -elseing.
At the bottom of Taproot, Tau manifests. She tells us, too, that another waits for her there.
DoneQuest
So you have, and what proceeds, proceeds.
I felt your coming here, =name=, in Gyredream. I've felt this moment. I feel it now.
The ritual of -elseing is complete, waterhand. You are done, and with our thanks.
[1] Live and drink. | [Complete Quest Step: Return to the Keter] [End]

Thank you, traveler =name=.

Tau
My chimeling, burning bright, all starlight and right angles in her heart. She leaves Chavvah; it is her choice. I..
Name
A sophist of the Self spilled ink and called me, long ago, the Tree of Life. To me, I am the many Selves pinched up my taproot from the permeating Soft.
I am Chavvah, and I am dyvvrach.
ManySelves
As Chavvah I am many. As dyvvrach I am one. I am one and many. One-selves have called me tree city, the sentient place. You may think of the Selves this way, sprouted in keter from Twofirm.
[1] Twofirm? |
|
Physiology
Deep under earth and permeating our roots is Soft, our feeling substance. Ground pressure pushes it up the taproot to our trunk, where it condenses into Twofirm: the biformal phase that contains the two sefirots, -then and -else.
Physiology2
This is the genesis my distinct Self, an awareness that contains both -then, what I will become, and -else, what I will not. Twofirm flows up my sapwood to the keter, where -then manifests as an entity and I chime: I speak and hear the world.

BarathrumChavvahDone2
You have completed the ritual of -elseing. You have set bright Tau free.
Yes, =name=. I will turn my chimes Spindleward to tune, then vibrate at our verve frequency. I will power your starclimb.
Be vested to tell whoever you must that Chavvah has made this commitment.
Barathrum
I start at this but Tikva settles me. I remember now: from a cub I've known Barathrum to be weak in telling but bold in asking. A starclimb? You mean, an ascent to the long chiming rock?
Ascent
oh. This. Was this felt in gyredream? Your coming to keter? I ask, do not answer.
Gyredream
A future shock. My chimeling _ is vision-gifted, a lichen who clings to shorerock on the straits of Tomorrow. Just a short time ago a sea wave crested and broke beneath her, and she saw in its recession all the bright and violent channel paths.
We all felt it. A recoming, and the gyre in final tension. I felt...
GyredreamMore
It was too much for my chimeling Tau. She gasped for air and her chime stilled. She leaves us now, to become -else. It is her choice.

WillYouHelp2
I will power his starclimb. If you take Tau's chime to taproot, for her to walk away. If you finish the ritual of -elseing.
[1] The ritual of -elseing? | Only available if the player hasn't accepted If, Then, Else |
[2] I see. |

Landing Pads
SlynthRequest
Again I must be calmed, but the startling gives way to a curiosity. You speak of the glowfolk, belimbed and free. You would have them join us, like our Sant?
[1] I would. | If the player is revered by ![]() |
[2] If you would have them, yes. | If the player is not revered by ![]() |
SlynthRequestAccept
We find no precedent for this, yet is there space upon our crystal arms and an openness within us. It is agreed: if these slynth will be of us, we will have them here.
SlynthRequestReject
I startle, and the roiling is felt before the calm. I cannot find a consensus for the housing of these beings, =name=. I am sorry.
[1] I understand. |

SlynthAbout
We await the decision of the glowfolk. Our imaginations run with the possibilities.
SlynthArrived
How this keter rustles! The slynth are among us and we adapt, our impressions a melange of excitement, apprehension, and wonder.
Though I have no single sentiment to express, we nonetheless approach -then with our new companions.
SlynthSettled
You are well-found, =name=. Though several have chosen their -else, the first of the slynth have joined to us like our Sant, mobile and apart but shared and together. This is a strange -then, but what branches may spill forth from it? I anticipate the witnessing.
