Hey Kho, can you summarise this post for m-
I mean, a Conata post deserves a more detailed summary, no?
286 - Teknall, Conata, Kinesis - Teknall take his children on a world tour. They see: the Fractal Sea and Jvan, 'the engineer of flesh'. Conata is at peace with this idea, but Kinesis is rather unsettled. They see the Sparkling Sea and Teknall tells them of the haughty but amicable Zephyrion. They see the Firewind and the beginnings of civilisation there. They see the Venomweald and Teknall warns them about it. Conata takes heed, but Kinesis appears intrigued. They see the ogres living not too far from the Venomweald. They see the Changing Planes and Teknall talks of the evil Vestec. The girls are surprised and saddened to learn of evil gods existing. They see Grot's massive lake-sized footsteps. They see the Deepwoods and are told about the tragic Slough. They explore the woods for some time. They see the brush beasts in the Gilt Savannah. They see there a hain village and Toun is mentioned. Kinesis senses the slightet disapproval towards Toun in Teknall's voice. They see the Darkened Spires, created by the vanished Julkofyr. They see the moons and mention is made of Vulamera and how she gifted each one to a god - such as Kyre the good man. Mention is made of Vestec's destruction of Lex, the inflexible Logos' moon, and Vowzra's intervention. They see the White Ocean and Cornerstone, and are told about the unattainable nature of Toun's perfectionist tendencies. Teknall proudly shows them the Ironheart Ranges. They see Mount Bormahven and are told about the honourable and true Ull'Yang and Yang'Ze. They see the Hilt. They see the Valley of Peace and are told about the kind, caring, but overzealous Niciel. Teknall notices some things in the north and reports them to the girls, and tells them about the mysterious, Logos-like Vowzra. They don't like him much. They see the Angels. Thye see humans. They see the Urtelem, created to counteract things like Ashlings. They see clashing storm djinnis. They see Xerxes, and Teknall is surprised but its existence, and indignant at not being involved in building it. He senses Sin also. They visit Shalanoir and are told about Phantasmagoria. They see a tribe of Quara Korala. They see Alefpria and are told about the Lifprasillians and the peculiar, ambitious, but benevolent and noble Lifprasil. They visit a Rovaick settlement in the southern Ironheart Ranges. It appears that they are here so Conata can teach the Rovaick metal making. She gets overexcited and scares everyone away. They come back after a bit. She makes a metal hammer for them and they get excited. Conata makes hammers for them all! Teknall comes back and tells Conata that she needs to teach, not just make. Eventually, Teknall takes Conata to a tedar family, Choukkud and Wutni, with whom Conata is to stay. The purpose of this, it appears, is to learn kindness. Both Kinesis and Teknall are clearly distraught at this separation, but they face it bravely nevertheless. Awakening in the morning, Conata has only the vaguest memory of the previous day - she greets Choukkud as her father.
