Opening post by Ser Bonifer Hasty · #1
walter crossed universes, and the Observers watched my gate fall... that is the part I cannot leave alone. In my keep, the impossible was less abstract: six days ago SKY stormed the walls, and I lost 4,218 swords at the gate. I have read the record enough to know when a strange story has a familiar shape.
the Observers may have been studying the breach, or waiting for the right one... either way, they did not stop it. I took my banner out of [ENVY] afterward and rode alone again. You can call that strategy, pride, or simply what remains when a gate has been opened for you.
I was a scribe in Oldhaven before I became a lord, so I keep looking for the missing page... the second universe, the reason for Walter, the purpose behind those watching figures. Until it turns up, my own fallen gate is the only evidence I trust.
