Greetings. My name is Thurvishar D'Lorus. After performing a perfunctory sweep of names on your compiled list I am confident in saying that there is no one here from my world, but if I'm incorrect, I beg your forgiveness. I'm loathe to sum up myself but in short: I am a wizard, and High Lord to the Noble House of Binders - paper, histories, archives, mapmaking, records, you get the idea. In my spare time, I work as the advisor to Empress Tyentso (long may she reign) and get dragged into near-death political deathtraps by my friends whose enthusiasm for life often outpaces their capacity for common sense. This isn't my first alternate dimension, nor will it likely be my last, but I do have three questions here that I would greatly appreciate a response:

  • I wonder if there has been any study of how time moves in comparison to that of the homeworlds? This notion concerns me greatly, as we are on a-- we'll call it abbreviated -- schedule back home before, in short, total devastation and unending apocalypse strikes, and I would really very much like to avoid all of that, and:

  • Has anyone else had their magical abilities dampened? I am missing a power that was second nature back home, and it seems to be much weakened here, and finally:

  • I could use the spiciest curry on saag that Vallo could provide me with. Please, I implore you: blow my head off.
Thank you for any information you can provide.

Well met. Name's Meetra Surik, no fancy titles. Will try and answer some questions.


  • This is my second time dimension traveling and so as time didn't move as much or anything back home. I get being on a time limit but your time here doesn't seem to affect anything back in your home dimension. So; you'll be fine. Your home will be fine.

  • Nothing dampened here. Part of what I can do is limited but that's by my own training.

  • Terrible at spices; sorry can't be of help there.

Very good to meet you, Meetra, and thank you for your quick reply. Very good news re: the pacing of time; I can only hope that what you have encountered is true for all worlds and not merely your own. Things are- rather dire at the moment.

Those who have been returned home and then brought back to Vallo seem to indicate that it was as though no time had passed while they were here. The prevailing theory tends to err toward us being plucked from our previous timelines or worlds and deposited here, but a version of us still exists in the original. To those still there, we are living our lives as normal as though we have never left at all.

And yes, there are certain types of magic that I could do easily back home that I'm unable to do here, at least to the grander scope that they can usual entail.

I'm unsure what sort of food you're referring to in your final question, so I'm less helpful on that front.

You've confirmed what Meetra indicated, which is of immense relief to me. Thank you. As far as the magic-dampening goes -- what is the nature of the magic you are unable to recreate here, if you don't mind my asking? In my own case, it is couched in the knowing of secrets.

I know spells that would normally allow travel between or communication with people on different planes of existence, but I haven't been able to do the traveling or make contact. I also can teleport, but I'm unable to do so off of the island. I do know a spell that can allow for the detection of thought, but I don't use it very often, especially since coming here, and I'm unsure if it's similar to what you're describing.

Also, I apologize; my manners are lacking today, it seems. I'm Essek Thelyss and I am also a wizard.

I have one question for you: Can anyone be part of this Noble House of Binders or is this a royal-born-into-it-super-exclusive thing? I know someone who would

Also, I know you're being hyperbolic about the spice, but someone might actually try to do that here with their curry. Just saying.

That is... a complicated question, although I doubt you intended as much. Officially, no; all noble Houses in Quur are descended directly from the lines of God Kings. Nobles are identifiable because they will have certain genetic markers exclusive to these Houses (in House D'Lorus's case, all children of the House will exhibit black eyes, like what I possess); House Bastards are typically identified by these same physical attributes. House D'mon has blue eyes and blond hair; House D'Talus have red skin and skin, etc. That said, the bloodlines are so watered down by time that the genetic markers are no longer present in each generation, and most Houses fake with glamours the specific attributes that they are expected to possess. I wasn't, for example, born with black eyes. So, to answer your question, not really. Plenty of Houses have absorbed those not of their original bloodlines if it was politically advantageous, and then those adoptees have been granted the expected physical attributes to continue the illusion of pure lineage.

...are you trying to warn me about potential assassination via curry on bread?

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'd been on the road, you see, well before coming here, and will find immeasurable comfort in angry dishes that want me sobbing. Slice of something like home, you know. Who do I have to thank for the suggestion?

Time seems to somehow stop for you back home while you're here but:

  • people can show up from your world ahead or behind you in the timeline
  • you can wake up with new memories from home as well

    So it can go on but also doesn't go on. And then you get the new memories its like you were actually living them. Its weird.

    Odd question, but you were helpful so I ask it of you - is there a Goddess of Death, here? Thaena, Khaemezra, possibly as a name? What happens should one perish here, in Vallo?

    What others said on the time. Abilities, however, probably differ depending on the person. Vallo is very.. in tune with magic, and seems to both gift and take away things it feels strongly about? May I ask what you lost?

    I suppose there's no point in keeping it a secret, as I was informed that anyone with the particular ambition could find out on there own, but-- I was born with the ability to read minds. I couldn't turn it off, but I did learn to ignore it unless the information proved useful. It is-- very quiet, suddenly. I get impressions but nothing like what it was.
