Author's Diary — Auxiliary
This is a diary. Keep out.
....
I see.. Curious, aren't you? I'm Frienzi — a Timeless Author. I go by many names throughout history. Call me anything, or not at all, and for I'm a slave of remembrance.
What you're about to delve in, is a story of no return, grab what you could reach, and pray that there won't be anything besides or behind you while you're reading.
Welcome stranger, to this diary, written by who is forgotten..
Act I | The Relics
"They do not worship the saints, but their bones; they do not seek God, but his fragments."
— Erasmus De Rotterdam (1466-1536)
- Gospel of Nyx
With this gospel in this hand, traversing through time is not a myth, but a reality which I denied. Let's change the history together, maybe there's more than bloodshed at the end of all stories.
- Mnemosyne's Quill
Ah, the pen of the bloody author. It writes faithfully, but the bastard never told me what they paid in exchange. Ink is cheap, blood is cheaper. We shall rewrite history with the blood of those forgotten.
- Century Compass
Even Columbus will be lost without a compass, let alone myself. No matter if the terrain was changed over time in history, the compass navigated all the same. But can one truly return to where the journey first sailed?
Act II | Factions
"Men are divided less by differences of doctrine than by differences of interest."
— Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)
- Priests of Times
Yes.. the folks in white robes, oh such holy blasphemers, one that does not touch the ground, never truly live. One would rather be impaled a thousand times over than to be silently recorded.
- Timeless Authors
In a pursuit of knowledge, I'm not alone. Who knows how many great blasphemers live outside of time's thin thread? But blasphemy comes with its own principle — Video, Scribo, Muto. If we were to meet our demise, then we shall do it as one.
- Beyonders of Fiction
You, yes you. They say there are many ways to pay gratitude. Don't fret, I don't forget about you, my friend. Your name is engraved in this gospel.
Act III | Eras To Visit
"It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end."
— Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018)
- Hundred Years War
Orleans'? Such a dangerous destination, I should keep my distance so I don't get caught in the fire. Maybe I'll be able to meet with the saint too.
- Jerusalem (Crusade)
The mighty Leper King, not feared, but respected by his enemies. Which matters more? A gratitude from a friend, or a pat on the back by your enemy?
- Ottoman Caliphate
Dragging dozens of ships across the land.. is it genius? Or outright madness? If it wasn't for the cannon, Constantinople might still be a thing.
- Athens, Sparta & Persia
I remember when the world had great scholars walking on God's forsaken soil. I've heard whispers of a once mighty general who tricked three kingdoms in his short lifespan.
- Holy Roman Empire
There was a story of two brothers who wanted to build a kingdom on top of two mountains, and it shall be so that our roads will lead to Rome. But what if one were to.. rewrite the path?
Final Act | Missions
"He who has a why to live can bear almost any how."
— Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)
Missions.. the plan hasn't changed, We see, we write, we change.
Come.. let's defy this past.
Come, let's defy this fate.
Come! Let's defy the judgement of flaw!
Sincerely by,
Yours Truly
