Two hours later, Terra and I walk toward the cave where the gate of the Rich and Destitute is located. Terra tells me the Helping Hands finished their work there a few days ago, and Gen and the Elderly Rats have been living there since. She also told me that the Wretched Rats corpse has been frozen and is being studied by a g...

The following is an excerpt from the journal of one of the quieter Helping Hands:
Today I had the job of touching up a photo that will be used as an advertisement and promotional photo to motivate the Tower Pilgrims. Pretty far below my skill ceiling, but there aren't many tech jobs these days, so I don't mind.

Note from Comment Below: This is a 2048x2048 to scale map, so I definitely recommended that it's opened in its own tab and scrolled through because there are hidden details.

It is not difficult for me to know the Elderly Rats would not willingly work beside the Wretched Rat, nor is the Wretched Rat capable of conspiring in this manner. The only inference I may make with the information at hand is that the other Kiln are manipulating them somehow. The ...

Lots of new exciting stuff happening in and out of the book. Here are some of the things everyone has to look forward to over the next couple of months:

A day has passed since I placed the gate. Things have fallen further into absurdity. At present, I am standing atop a rocky hill near a bronze statue called “The Falconer.” It’s a relatively simple statue of a man in standard theatrical dress reaching out to catch his falcon hunting companion. The hill itself overlooks ...
