User blog:Codex Keeper/Keeper's Journal 001

AND SO IT SEEMS THAT I, the humble Keeper, have been tasked with creating this codex, which I'm supposed to fill with intel on just about everything in the known universe, like a trough being slowly filled with harrhi excrement.

HA!

''What a colossal joke. How can one person compile data on everything there is to know and see? One cannot even see all there is to know! How does one compile a full data spectrum on the exotic Matalea, the rarest creature ever to grace the skies over ancient Tarke, long before the Andrans crawled from the primordial soup of rot and decay that is the Sea of Ma'ackia? For that matter, where does one begin with Sentinels, or Omnidecks, or Artifices? How about the macroeconomical eccentricities of the Dryopian Senate after the Charchar Outbreak of '71? ''

Hmmm?

One would think the Apoth, with all their prescience and hyperintelligence, all their omnipresence within the Sixes, with all that nonsense about the Void––which they'll happily gesticulate on, at great length, with those disgusting tentacles ––might have perhaps foretold the dilemma here... Call me a fool, but it would take several lifetimes'' to compile this much data, and that's with an entire division of Intel Officers under my thumb. ''

PHOEPUS! Phoepus I tell you!

''Ugh. I'm too old for madness, and too mad for oldness. But, I guess there's no sense in whining about it now. This is my lot in life. Spend enough time around relics and artifices and scrolls and people label you some kind of scholar. I'm no scholar. I only hang around with books and artifacts so I don't have to hang around with people!''

''I need more rum. It's going to be a long century...''
