The Stone Meridian, also known as The Shelter Adamantine, The Moving City, and The Sky-Pearl, is an Hour born in the moment of greatest peril, at the apex of the Collision. It was molded into the shape most desired by the thousands upon thousands of wounded hearts. And as they begged, it shall remain, no matter what.

Description

History

A big FNORD

Appearance

The Sky-Pearl is a city of impossible geometry and dwarfing, awe-inspiring architecture. In its bounds, the horizon is fuzzy, and the countless waterways pierce the landscape like a web. Outside, one can’t look at it directly, but if it’s there, it will always be seen in the corner of one’s vision. It resides in the Mansus, but sometimes it bleeds into the Wake, and, occasionally, it can be seen drifting into Nowhere.

Principles

The Stone Meridian holds the same principles that brought it into being. It is hopeful, for nothing can remain for long without hope. It brings home, shelter, and comfort to those who are desperate for it, for home is essential if one is to persist. It brings purpose for those robbed of it, it gives second chances to those who were misled, and it reshapes those who are beyond the reach of mercy. And, at last, it remembers, for sacrifices fade, too.

Worship

Cult

This Hour is worshipped as much as you would expect someone to worship a street, a road, or a house. There are, perhaps, individuals who do, but the reasoning is vague at best. Maybe there is something to gain out of this after all?

The Shelter Adamantine itself, however, is home to many Names, Mansus-spirits, Nowhere-things, Long, Know, and just regular mortals. All of them are loyal to no-one but the City and its Name-emanations.

Names

The Stone Meridian is connected to its Names on a deeper level than most other Hours. Without them, its face is blank: they are its expressions.

Summon a Terse Name of the Sky-Pearl?

The Minister in Black will come when his way is paved with an act of great strife, but only if shown the hungers of the Grail he knows so well.

The Minister in Black rises slowly from the ground, enveloped in clouds of thick black smoke. His robes are soaked in blood.

The Twister of Tongues

FNORD

The Twister of Tongues

"Sometimes they call me The Lord-Lady, sometimes they call me The Inkblood. I am, perhaps, both; I am, perhaps, neither. You should decide on your own. Now, shall we wager on a secret or shall we wager on a name?"

Summon the Most Deceptive Name of The Moving City?

The Page-Trail will hear your call if presented with Moth's yearning, but they will answer it only when given a delightful secret as a show of respect.
