Eh'ko's From The Past

Whilst sorting out the various personal effects to transport to Arceo, the Book of Eh'ko was found. However, there is some disappointing news. The book is in a grave state of disrepair, time and decay having taken a significant toll on it's pages. Fortunately, much of the writing is still legible and although the state of some of the pages leaves them irretrievable, there is enough of the content to make full renewal a possibility.

The restoration of Eh'ko has begun.

And There Was Light

After recently visiting Cass, the converted classroom Age of URU explorer Keith Lord, I was inspirited to search for the book of my first Age. After linking in and finding everything still stable and unchanged, I have re-read my original descriptions of the Age and have begun making a few small changes here and there, elaborating on and refining some of the more naïve passages.

Adopting the Age as a place of sanctuary and retreat will no doubt assist my further study and practice of The Art. In order to remove the sterility of its current designation as Age No.1, I have chosen to name it Arceo (from Latin - to shut up, enclose). It has already proved to be an excellent location to test my concept of the Writer's Lamp and set up and install a Remote Viewer. A variety of personal effects are being brought in slowly to make the Age more homely and suitable for use as a library and study.

Let There Be Light

The matter of Age writing has been on my mind a lot recently and as I too settle down to once again explore the many possibilities of The Art, I have also been thinking of the ancient D'ni and the conditions under which they wrote their Ages. In particular - illumination. It would seem for most creative people their surrounding environment has a direct bearing on their creative output - e.g. natural daylight for the artist, solitude and silence for the writer. I would imagine therefore that the D'ni would aim to practice their Art in an atmosphere that was conducive to concentration and creative description.

Here is my concept of what a traditional Writer's lamp may have looked like, specifically designed to provide soft, subdued and shadowed illumination that fired the Writer's imagination.
