WHO: Aetós and friends :)
WHERE: Over Communion
WHEN: Second half of Iqnu (October)
SUMMARY/NOTES/CONTENT WARNINGS: After the strange dreams and onset of the phenomena described in the Soot of Ignorance: Beginnings setting update, Aetós sends out an open Communion to all Shard-Bearers of the current generation, asking for people's own experiences. In the process, they publicly reveal a variety of details, including the following:
• The people briefly appearing near Shard-Bearers are real, physical people somehow appearing in Kenos without shards.
• Aetós hails from a world that was about to be annihilated, and has been in Kenos since the very first conflict.
• None of the previous Oracle conflicts have ended in a draw.
• They described the Shard as a lens through which countless versions of the world connected to that soul may be viewed.
• Apparently, centuries spent in Kenos as a Shard means Aetós now dreams rarely.

Further details are disclosed in private conversations, not publicly viewable:
• Previous Oracle conflicts could not come to a resolution, and the Shard-Bearers of those generations were "purged."
• Aetós discovered "what was at the root" and was able to bargain with the power governing Kenos, thus earning permission to continue existing.
• Aetós has a business relationship with this power, providing them with "tools" they need, but Aetós's research is guided solely by Aetós's own interest.
• When a Shard breaks, the soul within is destroyed, even across multiple realities.
• "What lies inside" the Tree of Life wishes to be heard, though its voice is muddled now. In the time of the second war, it was clearer.
• All islands capable of supporting life have a Tree somewhere on them, presumably connected to the main Tree of Life in some way.
