==Description==
''”The Ink, the Scient, the Many-Armed Author is the Hour of writers, archivists, and storytellers. With a hundred quills, its passage through the House is marked by tracks of its scrawling, rambling calligraphy. Herein is a practice that may find some truth amongst its manifold fictions...”''
 
-''The Pen, Indelible'' by Dubedat Locke
===Appearance===
===Principles===
==History==
===Before He Knew===
''"It is said the Scient was one of many who tended a great library. In his history, it didn't burn, but simply fell to ruin and neglect. He stayed in the rubble, writing until his dreams led him to become Long in the service of an Hour of Knowledge."''
 
-'The Pen, Indelible', Dubedat Locke
 
One day, a scholar decided to put pigment to parchment. Even as their dreams grew strange and a light started to shine from a fiercer place, that scholar did not stop writing. Everything they saw, everything they thought, all streamed into one furious line of ink, charcoal, chalk, and even blood if it was required. He wrote his way into becoming Long with the fervor of his writings.
===Name-dom===
===Ascention===
==Worship==
 
''"My delight is in the written and the document, the memo and the parchment. '''His''' joy is the act of writing and the act of writing is '''my''' joy."''
 
-''What to Do With Paper'' by Jos. Cz
===Cult===
The Co-Writer's Covenant dedicate themselves to documenting everything that is happening everywhere all the time, and interpreting the nonsense that comes of it.

===Servants===
''"With his many Arms, the Author lifted up the Beasts of the Wood to stand, to speak, and read as Humanity does. In gratitude, they are his editors, his assistants, his secretaries. They always bear the faces of the furred beasts: the rodent, the canine, the feline, the animals found in the countryside. I have found they appreciate pats considerably less then their counterparts outside of the House."
 -''The Pen, Indelible'', Dubedat Locke
 
 
''"I never truly liked [Secretarians]. Intelligence gave them airs of sophistication that I've never much cared for, even before my arrival. They do serve well as entertainment, however. There is a way to distract them from their duties, if you've the right bait..."
 
-''What to Do with Paper'', Jos. Cz
*'''The Secretarians'''
 
====Names====
* '''The Head Secretarian''' - {{Aspect|Lantern}} {{Aspect|Secret Histories}} - A Jackal-Headed scholar who leads the effort to curate the work in the Scriptorium. He has read more of the Ink's work than anything living, or dead. He is a very busy Dog-Person, but may spare you some time if treated with respect. The Head Secretarian is not known for his humility.
* '''"Jos. Cz"''' - {{Aspect|Heart}} {{Aspect|Grail}} - Somewhere in the marked halls of the Scriptorium is a woman who built and destroyed lives with her correspondences. Her poetry and prose wets the appetites of even the strongest mortals, and many are lost in her eternal letters of longing. If you catch her attention correctly, she may send you such a letter.

====Longs====
* '''Dubedat Locke''' - {{Aspect|Moth}} {{Aspect|Knock}} - Once a distractable and eccentric playwright of ambition, his writings tell of far off places and fantastical journeys, horrid beasts and a terrifying Wood. Be careful about his publications, lest you fall in. Newly Long, he is eager to speak of his many imagined paths with anyone who would listen.

==Locations==
===The Mansus===
====The Scriptorium====
The Scriptorium is a place in the Mansus or something
===Books===
* The Zeroth Indictment (Indictments correspond to hour number. Everyone gets one but you can have more books than just that)
** Description: It's an old book, okay? A dusty old tome? Made out of...flesh? What the.
** Start Text: This is the tale of the skeleton warriors.
** End Text: The skeleton warriors theme song refuses to leave your mind.
** Gives: Stuff goes here. Usually lore. Sometimes languages. Sometimes things get really weird. Feel free to get creative.
===Rites===
* Making of the Hours=
** Description: Ancient ritual conceived by the spooky boys of Uh-Shekel.
** Requires: Rites are the more unique bits of Cultist Simulator. They may require tools, objects, lores, living beings, and so on. Some of the items used for the rite may be destroyed, and proper aspects are needed. Do specify all the details!
** Gives: Glorious boons. From summoning to spawning items to other beneficial effects.

=== Skye ([[User:Lyrositor|Lyrositor]]) ===
{|
| '''Acquaintance''' || Skye knows no problem lies beyond her ability when her mind is set on it, but wearies of mundane puzzles.
|-
| '''Believer''' || Skye refuses the world's easy answers. She cultivates her mind as a farmer tills his field.
|-
| '''Disciple''' || Skye has begun to smile more. Perhaps because of what she has learned; more likely because of what she has yet to learn.
|-
| '''Ophede''' || Few things lie beyond Skye's grasp now, but those few that do are what she lives for.
|-
| '''Troublemaker''' || Skye is fond of answering simple solutions with complex problems.
|-
| '''Prisoner''' || Skye has bet she can break her chains faster than we can repair them. Let us hope we can keep pace.
|}

=== Bryn ([[User:Evoro, Paints-in-Blood|Evoro]]) ===
{|
| '''Acquaintance''' || Neighbours complain about the noise often - so Bryn has opted to do away with neighbours entirely.
|-
| '''Believer''' || They are thin and malnourished; some swear Bryn has even grown a few inches taller from their time beneath the earth.
|-
| '''Disciple''' || "I am digging," they explain, "to reach the Glory in the centre of the earth. But I suppose I can dig a few extra tunnels for you."
|-
| '''Burrower''' || With but shovel and pick, Bryn has crafted tunnels that span as far as the eye can see in the squalid darkness, and further still.
|-
| '''Troublemaker''' || Frequent reports of "disturbances" come from their home. Every time, we find nothing but a deep hole, and the distant sound of metal striking stone.
|-
| '''Prisoner''' || We ensure Bryn's cell has thick stone and allow no access to metal utensils. To them, bloodied hands and snapped wooden spoons are tools enough.

|-
| '''Disciple''' || "Linnea" is merely one of many names. Not all, Linnea claims, were given. Some she stole, some she bought, and some she conquered.
|-
| '''Exalt''' || Linnea says she remembers being there with you, watching when the Glory was relighted. She hopes she will be there with you as well when it is snuffed out.
|-
| '''Troublemaker''' || "Linnea" is merely one of many identities, all with their own personal histories and property records. She picks her victims in accordance with patterns which have been continuing without interruption for hundreds of years.
|-

{|
| '''Acquaintance''' || Alex used to be a gambler and a reader of cards, until the cards begun to make too much sense
|-
| '''Believer''' || Alex spends most nights at his writing desk, where he has arranged his old cards into neat piles and rows. The cards aren't real, he insists, and neither are the things they represent. But nonetheless, he claims they help him understand the world.
|-
| '''Disciple''' || Alex rarely speaks anymore, preferring to quote short phrases from his cards. Sometimes, he hums along to music only he can hear.
|-
| '''alex_d''' || "FNORD"
|-
| '''Troublemaker''' || It's all a game to Alex, the files say. They say other things too, but none of those things are relevant.
|-
| '''Prisoner''' || "So this is how it ends?" He asks you when the jail call slams shut. "Is that all I am to you, another insignificant pawn in another one of your little games?"

'''Disciple''' - He makes light of dark matters, even when I ask him not to, even when it would be merciful to refrain. 
'''Vocabulate''' - His laugh is bright, his speech is harsh. He has learned that the right word in the right place can send a person to their knees. Another can dazzle and bewitch. Another can burn like the sun.
'''Prisoner''' - Even behind bars and tied up, he jokes and hypothesizes about the things I plan to do to him. 'Am I right?' he asks. He always is. I will need a gag as well. 
'''Troublemaker''' - This comedian fancies me the butt of all his harsh jokes. He always says that I've yet to taste the punchline.

|-
| '''Disciple''' || Lucas still dons his surgeon's scrubs when he knows the work will be untidy.
|-
| '''Sabre''' || Lucas dispatches problems with professional economy of effort. No knife is ever used twice without proper sterilization.
|-
| '''Troublemaker''' || Lucas is said to be the best in his field. Certainly none of his patients have died under his knife, but one suspects his true work is not performed before an operating theatre.
|-
| '''Prisoner''' || Lucas has taken to describing the myriad methods through which he will have his revenge on us. Some of the imagery does not make for comfortable sleep.

Acquaintance - Claudia is a frail young lady with an enchanting smile and an interest in old mysteries.
Follower - Claudia's speech always seems to be to a tune that is not quite known, though her coughs sometimes interrupt it.
Disciple - Claudia's words are like honey, her smile like sunlight. One must focus very, very hard to not simply agree and go along with everything she says.
Nrityian- As Claudia's body grows frailer, the pulse of her spirit grows stronger and stronger yet, undeniable. Even if she cannot walk, she can still dance. 
Prisoner - Claudia looks very small and pathetic, but there is a vicious hate in her eyes.

| '''Acquaintance''' || Alex used to be a gambler and a reader of cards, until the cards begun to make too much sense
|-
| '''Believer''' || Alex spends most nights at his writing desk, where he has arranged his old cards into neat piles and rows. The cards aren't real, he insists, and neither are the things they represent. But nonetheless, he claims they help him understand the world.
|-
| '''Disciple''' || Alex rarely speaks anymore, preferring to quote short phrases from his cards. Sometimes, he hums along to music only he can hear.
|-
| '''alex_d''' || "FNORD"
|-
| '''Troublemaker''' || It's all a game to Alex, the files say. They say other things too, but none of those things are relevant.
|-
| '''Prisoner''' || "So this is how it ends?" He asks you when the jail call slams shut. "Is that all I am to you, another insignificant pawn in another one of your little games?"
|}

=== Dubedat (Leathy Kocktail) ===
'''Acquaintance''' - His humour often get laughs from his audiences, but rarely comes from those he comments upon.
'''Follower''' - He always jests at the other's expense, but his insights are rarely wrong. He tries to make me laugh.
'''Disciple''' - He makes light of dark matters, even when I ask him not to, even when it would be merciful to refrain.
'''Vocabulate''' - His laugh is bright, his speech is harsh. He has learned that the right word in the right place can send a person to their knees. Another can dazzle and bewitch. Another can burn like the sun.
'''Prisoner''' - Even behind bars, he jokes about the things I plan to do to him. 'Am I right?' he asks. He always is.
'''Troublemaker''' - This comedian fancies me the butt of all his harsh jokes. He always says that I've yet to taste the punchline.

=== Lucas ([[User:Lyrositor|Lyrositor]]) ===
{|
| '''Acquaintance''' || Lucas operates on his patients with formidable enthusiasm.
|-
| '''Believer''' || Lucas would much rather be saving lives than ending them, but those worth saving are in short supply these days.
|-
| '''Disciple''' || Lucas still dons his surgeon's scrubs when he knows the work will be untidy.
|-
| '''Sabre''' || Lucas dispatches problems with professional economy of effort. No knife is ever used twice without proper sterilization.
|-
| '''Troublemaker''' || Lucas is said to be the best in his field. Certainly none of his patients have died under his knife, but one suspects his true work is not performed before an operating theatre.
|-
| '''Prisoner''' || Lucas has taken to describing the myriad methods through which he will have his revenge on us. Some of the imagery does not make for comfortable sleep.

=== Claudia (Eliseofnohr) ===
Troublemaker - Even if you know everything about her, it is hard to bring yourself to attach it to someone as sweet and delicate as Claudia.
Acquaintance - Claudia is a frail young lady with an enchanting smile and an interest in old mysteries.
Follower - Claudia's speech always seems to be to a tune that is not quite known, though her coughs sometimes interrupt it.
Disciple - Claudia's words are like honey, her smile like sunlight. One must focus very, very hard to not simply agree and go along with everything she says.
Nrityian- As Claudia's body grows frailer, the pulse of her spirit grows stronger and stronger yet, undeniable. Even if she cannot walk, she can still dance. 
Prisoner - Claudia looks very small and pathetic, but there is a vicious hate in her eyes.

|-
| '''Disciple''' || Acton speaks plainly of his body, but orates with measure his new beliefs on a pyre soul.
|-
| '''Ophede''' || Acton knows his mind, the world strains greedily to the same.
|-
| '''Troublemaker''' || Acton's plans move like veins of lava beneath a bubbling inferno we have yet found.
|-
| '''Prisoner''' || Acton is not to see men speak, only to hear their voices. No more will his rages replace men.

One day, a scholar decided to put pigment to parchment. Even as their dreams grew strange and a light started to shine from a fiercer place, that scholar did not stop writing.

*'''The Secretarians'''
 
====Names====
* '''The Head Secretarian''' - {{Aspect|Lantern}} {{Aspect|Secret Histories}} - A Jackal-Headed scholar who leads the effort to curate the work in the Scriptorium. He has read more of the Ink's work than anything living, or dead. He is a very busy Dog-Person, but may spare you some time if treated with respect. The Head Secretarian is not known for his humility.
* '''"Jos. Cz"''' - {{Aspect|Heart}} {{Aspect|Grail}} - Somewhere in the marked halls of the Scriptorium is a woman who built and destroyed lives with her correspondences. Her poetry and prose wets the appetites of even the strongest mortals, and many are lost in her eternal letters of longing. If you catch her attention correctly, she may send you such a letter.

====Longs====
* '''Dubedat Locke''' - {{Aspect|Moth}} {{Aspect|Knock}} - Once a distractable and eccentric playwright of ambition, his writings tell of far off places and fantastical journeys, horrid beasts and a terrifying Wood. Be careful about his publications, lest you fall in. Newly Long, he is eager to speak of his many imagined paths with anyone who would listen.

** Description: Ancient ritual conceived by the spooky boys of Uh-Shekel.
