Violence is not the Answer

Argos is the chief librarian of the palace of the tyrant Theophonia 'Digonea' of Kyrene. He has worked hard in recent years to organise and recruit a school of scholars and philosophers at the palace. He can be encountered outside the city-state searching for lost knowledge and artefacts.

Argos sets about the task of teaching the survivors the skills needed to flourish in the new world. A task made easier by the bounty the gods have provided, and harder by reading the instructions from the Omniscribe and then trying to figure out how to practically apply them. It is with relief that he settles into the city of Argonia that the Tyrant has founded (somewhat uncomfortable with its name). There he sets about duplicating the Omniscribe and its contents, to spread learning amongst all the little lights of civilisation that have begun to shine in the new world. The devices are carried by scholars taught by Argos who found their own schools. With the cooperation of the God of Wisdom, Argos establishes an order of scholars named the Eternal Vigil who are dedicated to learning about the new world, recording for posterity all that is best about it, and remembering the old world and the people who were lost and the lessons to be learnt from its destruction. Meeting with these scholars takes him through the many god-built cities, visiting with Lady Greta frequently and spending time with the citizens of Circustopia.

Victors get to write history, but so do scholars. Argos prepares a scrupulously accurate and scholarly work about the Will-War and the Disjunction, based on his own research and the records in the Omniscribe. He also writes a considerably more populist (and shorter) version, including children's fables with descriptions of the monsters at the end of the world. They are the anti-Trinity of Emilio the Liar (who died as the antithesis of Wisdom), the Murderer in the Box (who deserves no Glory and no name) and Sant Without Conscience (who lost his Power because he never cared about right or wrong). There are fallen heroes to be remembered and emulated too, amongst them Count Friedrich and Corin Gauss (after whom the first school of medicine is named).
