Harald warps to that shining jewel on the sea, Chrysopolis to try to catch up with his old pal Eorl. Eorl asks his old associate Leo to record bits of pertinent conversation for his records, but, unfortunately, what with the lack of mention of Prometheus, Leo quickly becomes bored and so his notes are spotty at best. Here's what he has:
- Olcius is the murderer (Alexander?)
- A bunch of people have he Jewish letter for Harald
- Nonacres comes from the point of origin of the River Styx
- Elves don't have souls, but they do have spirits. (?)
- Egyptians divide the self into four parts, Ba, Ka, Name...something else. Elves only missing one of these.
- When people "go west", only one part of the self goes there
- Danger Gang Turqoise (that's me, Leo, the greatest adventurer) found a hole to the otherside of the world. Theorists theorize it may be Dark Sun.
- If you eat Alexander's corpse (Soma) you float up and west. Intangible but not ethereal. (Could be that you remain stationary and Earth moves. Which way does earth move?)
- Danger Gang freed ancient plague god (that was me too! Leo = #1. Wait, was I there? No, still, Danger Gang, #1!)
- Let's kill Evelake! Good luck, guys.
Harald and Eorl traded spells, spell components, and other magic stuff. Harald asks Eorl to go out on one last quest with him. Eorl hems and haws about his administrial duties and says he'll think about it.
Harald clears things up a little:
- According to the Fragments in Cassandreia, " [O]lcias had come from Nonacris, near Pheneus, in Arcadia". Nonacris is the city in Greece where the River Styx comes out of the ground. Menander is exonerated in the Diadocomachia, in the section that provides the continuarion of the fragment above: "but he[Menander] had come from Lydia, and not from Nonacris, near Pheneus in Arcadia, as others had."
- Maybe Hal can fill in on the aspects of the Egyptian soul, as well as which part elves lack.
