A line from Sven

Well. We, um - have something regretful to announce. This morning, the nineteenth book of Rubi Radr was found missing, from the temple. We don't want to - point fingers, and yet we kindly ask that whoever took it return it, to its original place. You can leave it in the temple, which will be left unguarded, unwatched. Nobody need to know, it was you.

Sven

We describe it like “emotional sheet music.”

Josh

What does it say?

Sven

Well...each runic letter represents one of the 16 affects, which are graded from most holy to most unholy. This here is about Grief. You can see at the end, however, we have blank pages? This is because the Rubi Radr is a constant work in progress. Always evolving.

Josh

And who decides what’s added?

Sven

Well – this iteration is being written by Ruben.

Josh

Wait. The...disabled?

Sven

Since birth. Ruben is unclouded by normal cognition. It makes him open for the source.

Josh

So...what happens when Ruben dies? Do you just wait until a new baby isn't “clouded”?

Sven

Ruben was a product of inbreeding. All of our Oracles have been deliberate products of inbreeding.
