Once again I find myself reading through James’ journal. His documentation on the Art is of growing interest to me. We have been visiting these Ages, restoring and documenting them, but the underlying principle behind how these Ages are Written is fascinating. This morning I stopped by the Tehren Neighbourhood and retrieved one of the Kormahn, Descriptive Books, we had in the archive for an Age called Artas. I am trying to wrap my head around the Garohevtee.
I have selected several Garohevtee from the Artas Kormahn and have been studying their relation to the make up of the Age in the hopes of better understanding the concepts behind them.
It’s clear from James’ work that he was making some progress in understanding the Garohevtee, if his work had continued perhaps he would have succeeded in taking it to the next step if we had allowed him. Perhaps we should have let him, the longer we are in the cavern the greater the chance that someone in the explorer community will learn Age Writing. We may forbid it within the Third Path but we cannot stop everyone in the community from trying.
I have to wonder, can we really stop members of the Third Path from Writing? If they are determined they will find a way and keep it hidden, perhaps this is the path James would have taken if things had not gone they way they had…
