Logrus

[Jaypay]

Shape-shifting and all that aside, has anyone identified an existing Logrus that can be walked?  Or do one of us have to attempt to create one first?

[PotatoJedi]

I don't know of any myself, and I don't think anyone else does either. If there are any, they'll probably be in the Courts of Chaos somewhere.

I do have the necessary shape shifting abilities to create it now. I just need to practice them a bit before attempting anything. Regaining some of my mental faculties may also help, though I have the distinct impression that the forces of the universe are purposely trying to make me a little crazy in order to "help me" achieve this.

You know, at this rate I have just about the right mind to say fuck the Logrus and fuck Ghostwheel/Justice. Let the pattern do its thing. They should learn to treat us better if they want something from us.

Do we know how to get to the Courts of Chaos? Is that another potential question for Big Red in Dinoland?

[PotatoJedi]

I'm sure we could hitch a ride with the Dryders. They probably know how to get there.

Do you know how crazy you all sound? I am beginning to think Kinley is right about these things.

[PotatoJedi]

Crazy people don't know they are crazy. I know I am crazy therefore I am not crazy. Isn't that crazy?

Brian Blessed’s voice booms over the speak,

“Of course I’m right about these things, I’m Alex Kinley!!!”

Actually, if someone tells you they're crazy, you should absolutely believe them.

Some things we learned from research

- There only one known Logrus currently, the one in the Courts of Chaos.
- Language of the Courts of Chaos is <Logan will advise once he finds it in his notes/works it out>. Thari is also spoken by a few people
- To work the Logrus you should be physically strong, strong of will, be able to endure it. Also good at shapeshifting (Shapeshifting while walking the Logrus will be harder than normal due to focusing on walking the Logrus). It is also taxing on the mind.
- For people that have walked the Pattern previously, it is believed that walking the Logrus would be as hard as creating a new Pattern.

Creating a Logrus
- Do not do it near the original Logrus or they would just merge
- Do not do it near a Pattern (creating a new Logrus in the Village would be a bad idea)
- Do not do it near anything you care about (So not to be done in any zones we care about is what I think this means)
- May need to be a bit crazy to create a Logrus
- it is unknown what object (if any) is needed to create a Logrus (according to the books we read)

Well, don't we need the Unicorn's Eye to create it? And by "crazy" do you mean just a bit… insane… but otherwise stable or do you mean seeing a zombie is likely to cause you great mental anguish?

The authors of the book were not aware what was needed. That does not mean it's not the unicorn eye. (the whole yin/yang with the eyes on it)

I suspect (pure speculation) that when creating a Logrus you need to be able to let the strain on your mind cause you to become temporarily insane (aka losing your shit) as you need to be in this particular state of mind. I assume this is why JS has been doing stuff, to "assist" you in getting to where your mind is fragile and thus easier for you to enter this sort of state.

[PotatoJedi]

I don't like my mind being fragile. I took great steps to regain my stability.

Ah well. If the time comes to it, I'll go murder some nuns or something.

An impish voice speaks out.

"Dictated for Mr Kinley."

"New Information, trans-versing Logrus is indeed more difficult than walking the Pattern, especially if you have already walked Pattern."

"Unlike Pattern, the first veil of Logrus will test your agility, rather than your brute force, it will also tear at your body and rip at your mind. To then pass to the second veil, you must assume your demon form. The second veil will test your endurance, while continuing to attack your body and mind. To access the third and final veil, you must assume your avatar form. The last veil will test the fortitude of your willpower, while still assaulting your mind and body."

"I am now somewhat associated with House Helgram, we have an alliance with House Hendrake and are currently feuding with House Jesby."

"Trevor was very interested, as you may understand, in what is currently happening in our shadow, especially about the wall. I circumnavigated the direct question to make sure no information was leaked, but something tells me he already knows some information and will not stop until he finds the whole truth."

Congratulations on walking (and surviving) the Logrus, Kinley! I will definitely have many questions for you when I next see you. But for now, I just want to know this: how did you get in contact with Trevor? Did you go to the Courts of Chaos to walk it?
