 '''The Snow-Stained,''' also called the Bully's Stick and, more ceremonially, the Brass-Beater, is one of the Hours of the [[The First-and-a-Half Fansus|Mansus]], created by some [[User:A Spooky Pineal Gland Growth|cancerous infestation of the brain]]. It is a God-From-Blood from a time that no longer properly exists, except in echoes and in shards of glass. It is the caretaker of the Mansus' plumbing, from which it was born.
-== History ==
+== Description ==
 From the plumbing of the Mansus, a lead pipe was taken. Its purpose changed in the blood-streaked hands of an occultist. Glass shattered. Time bent, dented. The occultist fell into it, and into all the blood of the things that would never be born, and the terror of averted disaster. Shards fell from the tower; snow dripped from the coat of its vessel. They fell together, and together, stick and shards and vessel. The Stick inherited all that the vessel had been, and together they became something else--the Brass-Beater, who allows no conclusion. It changes essential nature as it strikes.
 == Principles ==
 The Bully's Stick is aligned with [[:Category:Heart|Heart]], [[:Category:Forge|Forge]] and [[:Category:Edge|Edge]]. It is the damage done; it harms, but never kills, and whatever it harms, it causes to change. It is ugly, hateful, petty, and violent. It is rarely invoked by those who expect to live comfortable lives. It is loved by survivors and by brutes in equal measure, for the harm it causes and the conclusions it prevents. Revolutionaries and terrorists pray to it. It has been described as raucous, dynamic and spitefully persistent. It deforms whatever it strikes.
-== Location ==
+== Worship ==
 It makes its home in the plumbing of the Mansus, which it is capable of fitting into effortlessly, despite its bulk. In an especially deep place within the Mansus' labyrinthine pipework, it keeps its store of mementos. They contain a great deal of what made the people who owned them what they were; should an enterprising Occultist recover them, those fragments could be invoked.

 == History ==
-The Bully's Stick was made when a powerful occultist beat up time with a lead pipe. Their consciousness was sucked into the pipe by the force of it, and the pipe itself was empowered, both by the drubbing itself and by the act of stealing the [[The World That Never Was|conclusion]] the beating had been meant to avoid. It is called the Snow-Stained for the snow-melt that soaks the blue-gray coat of its vehicle. Its mind was dulled considerably in the process, leaving it to pursue its goals almost aimlessly.

These mementos contain a great deal of what made the people who owned them what they were; should an enterprising Occultist recover them, those fragments could be invoked.

 == Relationships ==
 * [[The Architeuthian]]:
 * [[The Engine of Cycles]]: The Bully's Stick appreciates the desire for change, but makes it a special point to destroy any part of the Engine it perceives as being related to bringing about endings. Nonetheless, they are more closely aligned than the Bully's Stick is with most.
-* [[The Peacock]]: The Bully's Stick frequently urges entities it perceives as belonging to it to disrupt the Peacock's parties. Raucous as it is, it does dislike the way they tend to carry on.
+* [[The Vizier]]: The Bully's Stick detests the Vizier for its ordered mind and its desperate need for control. Its failure to prevent the cataclysm that nearly claimed its history is also fresh in its mind.
 * [[Old Tarnished]]:
 * [[The Cuckoo]]:
 * [[The Fanged Bramble]]:
-* [[The Mendicant Without]]: The Bully's Stick has no strong feelings about the Mendicant one way or another, but as in all things, it finds the separation of walls dissatisfying. It has attempted in the past to create a hole through which the Mendicant could pass, and will likely do so again in the future.
+* The Snow-Stained occupies this slot.
-* [[The Aged Bones]]:
+* [[The Spark]]:
 * [[The Ferryman]]: The stagnancy of the dead in the Dolomedes' care offends the Snow-Stained. Were it to find a way to crack open their prison, it would do so without hesitation, almost irregardless of the consequences.
 * [[The Great Serpent]]:
