... You write a bad knock-off of the Catholic Church and you omit baptism? The first Sacrament of Initiation? That's... something all right.
SCSF: That it is. I frankly have no idea why she bothered to do so.
I guess we will see by StarMan, since that is where we will see that plough...
So, how does Faraday know the masons were skilled? Are the stones perfectly shaped, do they fit near-seamlessly together, are they shaped and arranged into designs? Inquiring minds wish to know...
Yes, that would be much better! If we are to see how skilled the Icarii masons were, show us, then! That would be a bit more impressive than "it was skilled".
Okay, I can sort of buy Timozel not knowing what an enchanter is, but the way it's presented does sound very annoying. Couldn't Jack have just said 'This is the tomb of the ninth Enchanter-Talon', prompting Timozel to ask what an enchanter is?
That would have been considerably better indeed.
Also, the way the information is presented it sounds kind of like they're going to be visiting the land of the dead. You'd think Faraday and Timozel would have some serious questions about this plan!
I had not even thought of that, but you are entirely correct!
Lord have mercy, this entire complex was built in the name of conspicuous consumption!
Yes, it must have been! What would be wrong with just putting the tomb up on the ground and leaving it at that? No, instead they need to move massive volumes of earth (presumably not even locally, since there is no sign of a quarry nearby) for... no purpose but to be ostentatious. The Icarii truly do not seem as "magnificent" as they are presented... Thank you for pointing it out!
Silver oxide is black-brown in colour, so yeah, the staff is most likely silver. (Though I'm not sure why 'blackened' is before 'tarnished' when she'll have seen more old and tarnish-darkened silver then silver that's black with the stuff.)
Indeed... I do not know why she thinks this is "strange", either. Surely she would have seen some tarnished silver before now?
You know, in a better book that would be creepy. In this one... I can't help but suspect Doughlass doesn't see this as corruption.
Or that Timozel is somehow responsible for this. I would not find that unbelievable, given the treatment he eventually gets.
