Astarael the Witch Queen and Broken Histories
Day 17, Month 5, 919
Aboard the Clockwright
Sav pulls those who’d known Astarael around and they discuss the memory Ashen had about her. She looked very different, with short white hair, and anyway Tyr Isendel was dead. Talith says it could possibly have happened, as there were multiple vampire houses and when he was there they were in shambles over a witch causing chaos; he thinks maybe Astarael could have resurrected Tyr Isendel. Sav pushes back on this idea, but Talith mentions he doesn’t know what year Ashen left the world before.
Speculation flies that perhaps it was from another world, or another time? They’ve all seen those rips pre-Breaking, which seemed to lead to other worlds, and talk a little about Zephyrus’s mocking words about stories that, did they really happen? Sav brings up Sal’s mural with a legend from his side of the world.
Talith talks about gods and his research discovering they were created by overwhelming emotion.
Ethan goes over his experience with Aseraphal and the Veil, and mentions anyone who enters gets an eye painted on their forehead; it’s said the Angel of Eyes can see through those eyes. He tells them about the “heaven” he found himself in when they first went through the Veil, and that it’s the promise the faithful get for after they die. Sav wonders why it’s not the case now, why the White Crown is just a nice city, but not paradise, and speculates perhaps that was part of what Danica did that pissed off the angels.
Bax brings up that Peach said Sylas said The Raven Queen is gone.
Sav brings up Speechless and asks if anyone’s seen her before, but no dice (though Sal did tell them earlier he spotted her behind Lil’lith).
