History

(WIP and possibly under revision) The Glory, the overseer of reality; whose light has served as the foundations and framework for the House's decrees for as long as can be known. It has often been the central piece of countless occult theories and debates, and it's workings and nature are a universal topic of controversy among scholars of the Know. It has even occasionally been debated if the stones were, in fact, just the result of the glory's first decrees.

These theories almost always remain perpetually inconclusive, and as such usually receive very little actual research. But, on extraordinary occasions, some lucky few are pushed closer to a semblance of conclusiveness. The death of the Tenfold, for instance, called into question the eternal nature of the Glory. The decent of the Eye has all but ended the debate of the Glory's sentience. The ascension of the Canthride made the idea of a sapient Glory's one of occult's most controversial subjects.

FNORD. Because, as any lawyer knows, no law wrought by a sapient creature can be without flaw. The possibility of such a being managing accounting for all the future may hold, not when that includes accounting for the actions of others.

When the FNORD died and humanity was bless with the knowledge of FNORD, it was also given a curse. FNORD.

And as any lawyer knows, no flaw, however minute, is impossible to exploit. Especially when its reach is shared with another.

Description

Principles

The principles of the Recollection are littered with nuances and specifics, but it's aspects and domains summarize the fundamentals quite well.

First and most simple is the perpetual stubbornness of life that is heart. The persistence of all that is, be it old or new. The Recollection holds firm the belief that while all things must end, the permanence of endings is and should be optional. The idea that, so long as there is life, what has come before will be be continuously recreated by the decedents of those who spawned it.

For individuals this generally translates to prevention of death; including things from simple medicine and antibiotics, to resuscitation and immortality. However, most fail to realize this also translates to ones legacy; the image that inspires imitators or successors, be they decedents or simply random inspired souls.

Similarly, this also applies to empires. Subverted royal families and overthrown rulers or heirs, benevolent and tyrannical alike, call upon the Recollection to see their rule restored. Those facing the threat of fall call upon the recollection to mend the weakness within or ensure return, for better or for worse. Controversially for all parties involved, Revolutionaries sometimes call upon the Recollection to see the fruits of similar movements recreated by their own. Why the Recollection chooses to endorse those who'd overthrow the old remains a mystery.

Restorers, historians, and researchers will occasionally call on the Recollection when attempting to recover or restore damaged artifacts, incomplete recountings, and ideas since worn away or lost to time. Success rates tend to vary.

Second is the cost of survival, or; the changes that come with defying or unmaking death. This is less of a belief to the Recollection as much as it is a rule or a lesson, but it still demands learning. FNORD.

FNORD.

Long of the Recollection consider this to be its most invaluable of teachings, allowing one to bypass the Omnipede's ruling without violating its principles, provided you can deal with whatever resulting changes it brings.

The third and final regards the frameworks known as memories and records. FNORD.

Appearance

In its full glory, the Recollection appears as a mountainous amalgamation of materials. It's composition includes everything from stone, to wood, to glass, to flesh. All of its body, regardless of material, appears to flow with a gel like consistency. Few can claim to have witnessed this sight.

For the appearance of the Recollections interior, see the FNORD.
