MEMORY BANK
The memories that characters lose during the course of the game don't just disappear into the void! They become an important part of game personalization — and may become a part of some other mechanics down the line. 🤫
MEMORY LOSS
For all that characters feel corporeal when they enter the game, much of that feeling comes from the resiliency of their memories — which they will be repeatedly asked to give up, in various forms.
As you submit memories, mods may sometimes reply to give you information on how your character may find the setting responds to them differently, though this will always be at player discretion to play out or not — just think of them as prompts!
To submit a memory, copy the form below and paste it in a reply to your character comment with the subject MEMORY LOSS. You may do this at any time.

Ptero
Celehar
Memory Loss
MEMORY DETAILS:Celehar's memory of the true name of Ulis, taught to him in his initiation into his family's sect.
MECHANISM: First Toll
Memory Loss
MEMORY DETAILS: The last words his lover Evru ever spoke to him, before the man's execution. While the exact words aren't (yet?) given in canon, we know some things about them! Referenced in The Goblin Emperor, p. 248 - "I was the Witness for the Dead. I could not lie... He did not even curse me when he died. He had never expected me to value him more than my Calling."
He'll still remember Evru and the fact that he died.
MECHANISM: Paid during the January Crossing to the Ferryman.
Memory Loss
MEMORY DETAILS: There's a corn maze maintained by the devotees of the god of the harvest in Celehar's canon. The one time Celehar goes there, it's past the harvest, so it's mostly a field filled only with corn stubble, but the maze path is marked out by the people who've walked it, and lined with stones. It's a winding thing to walk, but calming and meditative, with the open fields around and the blue sky overhead. In the center is a bowl with a collection of tokens - simple white stones, that anyone might take as a token of pilgrimage.
When Celehar went there, he was trying to find peace and stay awake after a sleepless night. It was very meditative for him, and he walked the paths remembering one of the prayers to Ulis, one that wound itself around the phrase "strength in tranquility and tranquility in strength."
MECHANISM: Toll for the second Crossing.
