@Scientia; Entry 01
[Ignis seriously doesn't know the right way to start these entries so- he just types.]
Ignis here.
I visited the Library few days ago (read: Aug28th) to check on the Librarian spirit. The entire incident had left them to feel gloomy and I didn't want us to lose the handful of spirits that still like us.
[Bear with him, he IS going somewhere with this]
As always, after a "cookies & chat" I scour the Library, reading and returning books along the way. I usually never run into anything of importance, asides from books on stars and random biographies (which is a good way to pass time).
That day, however, I ran into a geography book. This is what I found.
[Ignis shares image.jpg- a page in the book of a continent (North America), with scrawlings alongside the margins. It is not the best lit picture ever, but it decently shows that someone has been marking the said continent with numbers from 1 to 12 at the places that are completely blocked out. The word that stands out amidst all of it is "Panem".]
I have never heard of this continent
Nor am I claiming that we are residing on it right now
I have been trying to make some sense of it in the past two days, but without the basics, I'm afraid I can't move past it.
And now, after hearing that bit from Will, keeping it as a puzzle to solve in borning evenings is out of the question.
After reading Will's post, some of my assumptions:
1. If this actually represents the land we are on, the 12 points could be older Beacons
2. They are blocked/scratched off because they fell to the World Eaters in the past
3. There might be some salvageable information there
Amidst all of this I still cannot fit in word "Panem" anywhere, so please take this with a grain of salt. The only solid confirmation that this is the land we're on would be from the Keeper (and I have some doubts she will do it).
Note: You can check out the book by yourself at the Library in the Village
Warning 1: If you visit, do not antagonize the Librarian. They were skittish and uncomfortable even when I opened the book.
Warning 2: Don't go off on your own to check and prove this. Eager you might be, but you'll end up dead without anyone to return your lantern.
What is your take on this?

Not only lighthouses but destroyed ones too- if that's what the blocked/scratched off parts mean
no subject

But if they were on big distance, how did they get the information?
...I wonder if Lighthouses were connected to each other before and then they decided to cut off the connection to stay under the radar from the Eaters
no subject
She makes it sound like she's the only one left. When too much Light shows up she just kills us all.
no subject
If her Lighthouse was disconnected from the others the same way, she wouldn't be able to contact them.
Regardless, it still doesn't rule out the possibility that there are more Lighthouses. There could be other survivors.
[And the fact that she didn't mention them. This "hunt for clues by yourself so you don't get bored" is very aggravating. As if they are mice, placed in a trap, trying to survive and she's just watching.]
no subject
More light just draws those things in faster.
no subject
And while you have a point, it's also important to share information with others, see if they made some progress in how to either stop the Eaters or how to avoid them (sans the resets)
no subject
It's not like we could get through the woods to find them anyway.
no subject
After all, we still need to find a way how to avoid World Eaters, and that won't happen by sitting in one place
