'''The Half-Turned''' ('''The Anticyclone''', '''The Cycle-of-Seasons''', '''The Impatient Act''') is the eleventh Hour of the Second Fansus, represented by Death. It's reveal was during [[The Partisan]]'s siege, but its Names were reported to have revealed themselves at earlier dates, making the hour's birth heavily disputed. Some claim it to be a cousin of [[The Storm-Tossed]] and [[The Knife's Edge]]; that it was born when [[The Goldsmith]]'s corpse and [[The Bright Tapestry]]'s lingering might mingled with the bed of the Sea-Of-Mists. Others say it was born when the early casualties of the invasion were swept into the sea, or from the disposal of the unworthy or unwanted in the Mist. Some even claim it to be a lost God-From-Stone, or the . It waits watching beneath the waves, watching the storm with interest and impatience. Its aspects are [[:Category:Winter (Vol. II)|Winter]], [[:Category:Forge (Vol. II)|Forge]], and [[:Category:Moth (Vol. II)|Moth]]. It rules over the escalation of conflicts and their abrupt conclusions. It ends the journey to usher in the next.

'''The Half-Turned''' ('''The Anticyclone''', '''The Cycle-of-Seasons''', '''The ''') is the feral eleventh Hour of the Second Fansus, represented by Death. It emerged from Sea-Of-Mists in an inverse to the [[The Knife's Edge]] and [[The Storm-Tossed]]; born when [[The Hunter]]’s corpse and [[The Ink]]’s tears mingled with man’s memory of the Subsumption. It waits watching beneath the waves, gazing upon the storm with interest and impatience. Its aspects are [[:Category:Winter (Vol. II)|Winter]], [[:Category:Moth (Vol. II)|Moth]], and [[:Category:Forge (Vol. II)|Forge]].

 +
The Half-Turned ushers in greater tension and higher stakes with every wingbeat, fanning the flames of conflict towards an abrupt and beautiful conclusion. It ends every journey to make room for those that must follow.

FNORD.
 +
===Appearance===
 +
It’s upper half is often depicted as old, wild turkey with massive wings. The wing feathers, as well as all the feathers, are spear to just be more wings. It is often shown rising from a vast gray sea, sometimes with a circus or theater nestled beneath it.
  
 +
The less revealed lower half often appears as a vast worm or eel of sorts, with bits of it rising out of the sea behind the main body.
 +
===Principles===
 +
The Half-Turned is an hour of Forge and Winter; unmaking the old to make way for the new, but making no attempt to ensure something new follows. What is and isn’t old to the Cockatrice is solely based on a thing’s ability to entertain. Those without struggle quickly grow dated in its eyes, while those up to their waists in conflict are all but immortalized.

===Appearance===

The Half-Turned is not counted as an hour of Edge, but before it left the sea it could have been. Its might cannot be denied or controlled. It’s endings are as indifferent as they are catastrophic.

Usually depicted as an old wild turkey with massive wings emerging from a vast gray sea. Sometimes depicted with a circus or theater rising alongside it.

Only by appealing to its longing for fresh conflict to can the beating of its wings be postponed.

===Principles===
 
−
The Half-Turned is an hour of Forge and Winter, clearing away the old to make way for the new. The old, in this case, refers to the conflicts that have refused to progress, or have failed to amuse it. Its endings are catastrophic. They can be avoided only by appealing to the Moth that heralds its arrival, the wind of its wings raising the stakes, by progressing the conflict at hand.
 
  
−
It is the Hour of restlessness and the changing of stories. It is a patron of actors, but an unpredictable power for all orders and movements. No story can stay fresh forever. No establishment, or movement, can stay in its favor forever. When unrest persist but fail to usurp, who the Half-Turned favors rests solely in who entertains it best, and even then it will tire of both eventually. Where [[The Storm-Tossed]] lingers, the sound of its wings can be heard. Where its gales near their peak, [[The Knife's-Edge]] soars. Round and Round and Round they fly.

    The Half-Turned (The Anticyclone, The Cycle-of-Seasons, The ) is the feral eleventh Hour of the Second Fansus, represented by Death. It emerged from Sea-Of-Mists in an inverse to the The Knife's Edge and The Storm-Tossed; born when The Hunter’s corpse and The Ink’s tears mingled with man’s memory of the Subsumption. It waits watching beneath the waves, gazing upon the storm with interest and impatience. Its aspects are Winter, Moth, and Forge.

    The Half-Turned ushers in greater tension and higher stakes with every wingbeat, fanning the flames of conflict towards an abrupt and beautiful conclusion. It ends every journey to make room for those that must follow.

    Appearance

    It’s upper half is often depicted as old, wild turkey with massive wings. The wing feathers, as well as all the feathers, are spear to just be more wings. It is often shown rising from a vast gray sea, sometimes with a circus or theater nestled beneath it.

    The less revealed lower half often appears as a vast worm or eel of sorts, with bits of it rising out of the sea behind the main body.

    Principles

    The Half-Turned is an hour of Forge and Winter; unmaking the old to make way for the new, but making no attempt to ensure something new follows. What is and isn’t old to the Cockatrice is solely based on a thing’s ability to entertain. Those without struggle quickly grow dated in its eyes, while those up to their waists in conflict are all but immortalized.

    The Half-Turned is not counted as an hour of Edge, but before it left the sea it could have been. Its might cannot be denied or controlled. It’s endings are as indifferent as they are catastrophic. Only by appealing to its longing for fresh conflict to can the beating of its wings be postponed.

No story can stay fresh forever. Likewise, no establishment, or movement, can stay in its favor forever. When unrest persist but fail to usurp, who the Half-Turned favors rests solely in who entertains it best, and even then it will tire of both eventually. Where The Storm-Tossed lingers, the sound of its wings can be heard. Where its gales near their peak, The Knife's-Edge soars. Round and Round and Round they fly.

    Names

    Jev, the Opening-Act

    The first Name-Fragment of the Half-Turned; the piercing voice of the Half-Turned given freedom and flesh.

    Jev serves as the herald of the Impatient Act—the bringer of its will. A colorful, inflated-looking jester, donning a chromatic jingling cap and a joyful golden mask. He enters with an assortment of instruments in hand, not to bolster his power, but to concentrate and control it. Each sound he makes is both note and key, with his every word opening ears and doors alike, bearing the world to the wings of his master.
    Though not a sign of doom, his arrival is a warning of one that may soon come.

    When uninvited, he is a definite threat.

    Septa, The Pre-Finale

    Septa, the second Name-Fragment of the Half-Turned; she is the enforcer of the Half-Turned’s will, whom it fashioned from its discarded claws.

    Sister and jagged, colorless inversion of Jev, Septa hides their jagged face of claws beneath a silver tragedy mask.
    Black as the eyes of the Ox.
    White as the heart of the Glory.
    Her spear and gaze move to ensure that the will of her maker may not be denied. She is never to be taken lightly, for her very presence signals the Anticyclone's direct intervention.

    Should she manifest uninvited, it is already too late.
