Oh man, you'll never believe what happened to me!
|

So after we got separated in the fog, I let my instincts lead me, and that brought me right back to the beach!

Luckily, that beach was far enough away from the foggy woods that I was able to follow the coastline east.

@Da Vinci
|

We shouldn't be wandering aimlessly around Britain right now.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
What we need to do is set up a base of operations here in Salisbury where we can gather information and tackle our problems one at a time.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace D 0]
|
||
|

@Da Vinci

Our top priority right now is finding Mash, so we'll need to look for info on a girl wearing iron armor.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
While we do that, we should also learn more about Britain, and the lives of the faeries who live in it.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
?1:So, you want us to set up a base? Do you have a house here or something?
|

|
||
|

?!
|

|

[charaFace D 16]
|

|

@Da Vinci
|
||
I sure do. This pub doubles as an inn.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Well, technically, they just copied a man-made inn without knowing what it was for.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
So I taught Mike about inns, and how to put all the extra rooms he's got here to good use.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
And as a little reward for my services, I got to take three of the second-floor rooms for myself☆

|

[charaFace D 19]

I knew we'd eventually find each other, and that we'd need a Chaldea frontline base when we did, so that's why I went ahead and made one.

@Da Vinci
|

All right, let's begin by sharing what we've learned, starting with this version of Britain.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace D 25]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
You probably got a sense of this yourselves on your way to Salisbury...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace D 24]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
But this Lostbelt is very different from all the others we've seen so far.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
It doesn't look at all like an alternate path human history could have taken, especially since humans aren't the dominant species here.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
So far as I can tell, this world consists almost entirely of faeries.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
In Russia, a huge cold snap made it impossible for the human species to survive as they were, so they were forced to adapt and evolve.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
In Scandinavia, the twilight of the gods[line 2]aka Ragnarök[line 2]happened during the Age of Gods, and both gods and people alike were in sharp decline afterward.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
China was ruled by a single Zhenren, or true human, and became the sole nation-state in the entire world.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
India was converging in on itself through endless cycles of reincarnation, only for the whole world instead of individual people.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
And in Greece, humankind was completely[sr]dominated by gods who never died out.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace D 0]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
While all of them were dead ends, they were still all human worlds.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
No matter how different they may have been from our timeline, they still all had human societies that suited their environments in the year 2019.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace D 14]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
But that's not the case here. This is very much not a human world.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
For one thing, there IS no world outside of Britain.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
It's not like the other Lostbelts, where we just couldn't see the outside world thanks to the storm walls.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
There's just nothing in this world at all besides Britain. No other continents, and definitely no other nations.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
So as long as we're here, the whole planet consists of nothing but the Isle of Britain, and the sea.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
And that means[line 2]
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
?1:It's basically another world with no relation to human history?
|
||
|
||
?!
|
||
|
||
[charaFace D 24]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Yup. Given what we know now, that's the only way to describe it.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Over the last few days, I've been asking various faeries about what things are like between Britain and other countries, but the very idea of other countries was alien to them.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
So that tells me there must be some strange circumstance that caused this place to become Faerie Britain.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Figuring out what that is will be the key to beating[line 2]no, unraveling this Lostbelt.

Does that mean every faerie in this land comes solely from the Isle of Britain?

|

That's a great question, Tristan. If there are no other lands in this world...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
It follows that no faerie legends from those places would be imported here.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace D 16]
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
But luckily, there's still a little thing called “human history convergence.”
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
What that means is, as long as a faerie once existed on earth, their existence will remain even if their form and history are different.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
So even in this Faerie Britain, we have faeries from various European legends showing up in different forms.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Basically, the ecosystems are similar, even if the environments aren't.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Since this is still the same planet Earth, there are inevitably going to be similar life-forms, civilizations, and large-scale events.

But despite that, the two Britains have a surprising number of things in common.
|

@Da Vinci
|

Things like city names, faerie names...

Even the name of this world's queen.

Remember that huge castle to the north you saw on the way here? It belongs to High Queen Morgan, ruler of Faerie Britain.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
And it probably won't surprise you to learn that its name is Camelot.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
That's right. Here, the same castle that symbolized British peace in Proper Human History...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
...that was home to King Arthur and to the Knights of the Round Table...belongs to Morgan.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|

The strongest, most despised witch in British history, and the one indirectly responsible for King Arthur's death and Britain's downfall.

@Da Vinci

Yup. As far as I've been able to find out, Morgan's ruled Faerie Britain for almost two thousand years.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
There are six different faerie clans here: Wind, Earth, Fang, Mirror, Wing, and one other.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
They waged war with each other constantly for thousands of years...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Until Morgan used evil magecraft to defeat them, subjugated half of the clans through force, and united all of Britain.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Afterwards, she gave the humans of this world a limited degree of freedom, made them build a foundation for civilization...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
...and developed this imitation society over the course of the last two thousand years.

|

@Tristan
|

So, what exactly is her reign like?
|
||
[k]
|
||
|

Since she calls her castle Camelot, does that mean it's fair and just, in a way King Arthur would be proud of?

No, it's pretty horrible.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
She has strict limits on the number of humans that can be born each year, and she rules the faeries with an iron fist.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Every faerie that lives in an urban area is inscribed with Morgan's curse[line 2]Command Spells, as part of their civic duty.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
And every year, faeries inscribed with these Command Spells are forced to “donate” some of their vitality[line 2]magical energy, essentially.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
They call it the existence tax.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
And any faeries who can't pay it[line 2]essentially, who can't provide enough magical energy to satisfy Morgan[line 2]are killed right then and there.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Apparently, when she first took the throne,[sr]Morgan told the faeries:
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
“I offer neither absolution nor salvation. I demand only that you obey without question or hesitation.”
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
“Show me your fealty in word and action, and I shall keep Britain safe.”
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Any faeries who can't handle this state of affairs and become unable to work are either taken into Camelot and dealt with there...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
...or they escape the cities and run away to lands no one else knows about.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
?1:An annual existence tax...
|
||
?2:So that's why those faeries were there...

Yup. Which just goes to show how powerful she must be.
|

[k]
|

|

@Da Vinci

She takes half the soul of every faerie in Britain each year, and there's STILL no faeries able or willing to stand up to her.

@Da Vinci
|

That said, there are some positive[sr]sides to Morgan's reign.

@Da Vinci
|

Remember those black things we fought near the shore?
|

[k]
|

|

@Da Vinci
|
||
The faeries call them “mors,” and they're one of the calamities that have been plaguing Faerie Britain since its inception.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Occasionally, faeries that lose their purpose, or their spark...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
...end up turning into these mors creatures.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Mors are essentially the faeries' natural predators.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Just touching one is enough to infect a faerie, ultimately transforming them into a mors too.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
It's kind of like a disease that only affects faeries.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
And the mors aren't the only calamity Britain has to regularly contend with. There are lots of others that pop up on a regular basis.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
And Morgan's[line 2]the high queen's army is constantly fending them off.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Morgan may be a cold and ruthless ruler, but she's also the sword that keeps Britain safe.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
The faeries may fear and hate her, but they also depend on her.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
And that's the current state of the Faerie Britain.

?!
|

[charaFace D 0]

From what I heard, it went something like this:
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
“Sixteen years from now, a savior shall appear. Guided by the Staff of Selection, the true king will take the throne.”
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
“When the six bells ring out, the false queen will fall. Alongside fae and humans, the savior will bring an end to this false history.”
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
|
||
[charaFace D 19]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
So what do you think?[sr]Sounds vaguely familiar, right?
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace D 0]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
It's got credibility out the wazoo too, since the Mirror clan's prophecies have never once been wrong.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
The high queen's been trying to prevent the inevitable by rounding up every faerie who turns sixteen this year...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
...but the fact that this Child of Prophecy hunt is still going on proves that she still hasn't caught them.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace D 26]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Suffice to say, between the mors and the Child of Prophecy alone, the cracks are showing in the high queen's reign.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
So if we play our cards right, we might just be able to negotiate with Morgan after all.

|

That said, finding Mash definitely comes first. For the time being, you should rest up and recover your strength.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Da Vinci
|
||
Then tomorrow, we can start gathering information. Quietly and casually, of course, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Okay, I think we could use some rest, too.

Servants might not need to sleep, but it's still tiring to be constantly watching out for threats, right?

I mean, you never took your fingers off your bow strings even once that entire time. Guess that's why you were a Knight of the Round Table, huh?

You may be a Servant too, but you're also a being living in the here and now, just like [%1].

I don't want to take too much of your time, but before you fall asleep...

I was hoping you could tell me about the Sixth Singularity.

@Tristan

Specifically, I would like to hear about the version of me who was summoned there...

@Tristan
|

...and what I was doing in the Holy City of Camelot.
