Perpetua 46: Escape the Rumbling Castle! 06
Friends at the Table
Confrontations with Villains need not be catastrophic. Some hostile encounters, including those against enemy bosses, can be de-escalated through conversation or completed through clever use of Objective action. Parties specializing in tools of foresight can leverage their navigational upperhand to outmaneuver potentially deadly encounters all together. Some clashes—especially those with reality-shaking stakes—seem written into the fabric of Perpetua itself. But even these, despite the long odds, have many possible resolutions.

As the crew of the Little Snail and the Sourcerot investigators continue to delve the depths of the Castle Eschatonica, new voices are heard in the air. For those in the western half of the castle, the voices are brusque and severe, shaped to fit the prepared phrases necessary for a most hospitable war. But in the east, the voices lilt and shine, like dewy petals in a breeze. Is such a sound an invitation or something more nefarious… This week on perpetua: Escape the Rumbling Castle! 04 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.06] Some Feedback [Page 66 of 68] TheUnforgivenIII So uhhhh does anyone have...

For Semiotician Uklan Tel, the discovery of the object in the vaults of the New Archives was a gift he could scarcely have hoped for. The Holy City, walled and impenetrable, had fascinated him for so long. He'd pored over the Marieldan documents and artifacts that the Archives had collected over the years so many times that his name repeated in the access cards like a prayer . But here was something new - misfiled, overlooked - that had evaded his eye all this time. He was starting to take notes for a book. We could not be more excited to unveil the Marielda 10th Anniversary Vinyl Soundtrack...

As the northern edge of the Castle Eschatonica grows closer, the adventurers within begin to sense a change in the dungeon around them. While the Celestial Echoes that make up the hallways and rooms of the castle were once neatly separated, now it seems that the people and places from the various past Perpetuan worlds have begun to overlap and interact. In search of information, Brontë, Veile, Elena, and Caoimhe seek help from an otherworldly machine. Meanwhile, on the other side of the castle, a gang of otherworldly beings seeks help from the trio of Antistrophe, Jonathan, and Uncle...

In the depths of the Castle Eschatonica, the true beckonings called to the travelers of the Dragon Path. Led across the ether under divine shadow and holy light, to things that aren’t, but which might yet be: New more peaceful lives. Freedom from obligation and duty. Different, more adventurous histories. A key to a door which itself beckons. The power to protect those they care for. Power for power’s sake alone. With these behind them, the two groups re-emerge into the halls of the Castle. In the western wing, three figures push forward into the passageways of this transcendent...

At the highest point of the Castle Eschatonica, the crew of the Little Snail and Team ABC finally find some answers to their most desperate questions.

With the Wicked Weaver defeated, the trio of Antistrophe, Caoimhe, and Nicky return to their hunt for the crest of the western hall, and their search will lead them into places unlike any they’ve ever seen.

info_outlineAll across the Elevana League, pilgrims leave their homes and travel over great distances towards the city of Cenn, determined to meet with the only member of the Ennead who deigns to walk amongst their worshippers. As a matter of propriety and faith, what transpires between Castine and his believers is largely kept between the embodiment of metal and his visitors. But it is not uncommon to see echoes of the conversations in the life that follows. Greater confidence. Lesser cruelty. A new found curiosity. When you walk your lap with the Living Metal, it is said, you may find yourself newly tempered.

What do you think you’d ask Castine if you could walk with him?
FriendOfNei
You actually can if you get the right answers during the Temple Infiltration. But that’s a good question, I’ll load my backup save and try to update the FAQ soon with as many answers as I can get from him soon!
Alukard83
Oh thanks. But I meant in real life. Like would you ask about the future or about the past or maybe about some secret only he would know?
TheDiamondRanger
I’d ask him where the ultimate weapons are!
TheUnforgivenIII
Wow, a rare good question from Reverse Dracula. I think I’d ask about my grandparents (mom’s side). Never really got to know them.
XxZelgadyskXx
I don’t know that Castine knows about stuff like that. He seems more into like, statues and shovels and things made of metal. XD
Alukard83
I mean he’s a God right? God is omni-scient, so he’d have to know about things like TUIII’s grandparents. Even if we just meant in Perpetua and not IRL, he could watch them from like… candle sticks and forks and stuff right.
CarlsSr
god doesn’t exist lol

I think it’s a good question, Alukard83! From what I’ve read, it’s not clear what exactly Castine (or God, if she DOES exist, I’m agnostic) can or can’t do. Sure, there’s clearly a lot of miraculous and powerful stuff that happens in the story (game and IRL religions). But there are always limits, right? Like how Castine couldn’t see into the Hexcloak office because Aegir did that trick with the light and with Caoimhe’s sword, or how in real life, a supposedly benevolent (that means kind and loving) God lets bad things happen to people. But that doesn’t mean that they aren’t loving. Just that they aren’t actually all powerful. A lot like us.
Anyway I thought it was a good question so I wrote a fic about it over on the Creative Writing board. If you search for “Walking In Iron Shoes” you should be able to find it. Let me know what you think n.n;;;
