Who can guarantee that those once-noble ideals won't be twisted into crimes even I can't imagine? [...] Xbalanque could not guarantee it, [...] I don't want that name, and the ideals it once stood for, to be twisted by future villains and reviled by the public.

i still (over)think abt brahe's note and whether it implies that someone somewhere reviled xbalanque bcs of och-kan's actions "for him"... like brahe is clearly talking abt the ideals themselves used for evil (aka och-kan committing his atrocities so xbalanque stays the only god and so on) but he's also worried abt the public's perception of avrelian & alia... but i scoured through like all of natlan's lore at some point and i never saw anyone ever say anything bad abt xbalanque... even a lot of the descriptions make a point to mention that och-kan deviated from his commandments... but... who knows... maybe someone out there does blame xbalanque for what och-kan did...

A replica of the artificial nose worn by Astronomer Tycho Brahe. During an engagement party, he got into a drunken quarrel with a contemporary over who was the better mathematician. They resolved their feud with a sword duel in the dark, in which Brahe lost his nose.

Brahe was not your typical astronomer, with more bizarre anecdotes to his name than just the nose (made of brass or silver, and meticulously glued on with paste).

One of Brahe’s greatest companions was a man named Jeppe who had dwarfism. Brahe believed Jeppe to be psychic, and they would chat together at mealtimes with Jeppe sitting at the foot of Brahe, occasionally receiving morsels of food from the table.

Famously, Brahe also kept a fully grown Elk as a pet, that was known of among many of the nobles in Denmark, but this Elk met a sad end. When a nobleman, so intrigued by the idea of a tame deer, offered a trade for this animal, Brahe broke the news that it had recently died after drinking too much beer and falling down the stairs.

Regardless of Brahe’s personal life, he was an extremely meticulous astronomical observer attaining some of the most accurate results of the era. Although he didn’t specifically make any conclusions on Mars itself, he took on a young assistant by the name of Johannes Kepler. During Brahe’s lifetime, Kepler wasn’t able to see the full extent of the significance of the Mars data that Brahe had collected, as Brahe guarded his results extremely jealousy. But after his death, Kepler used this data to conclude that orbits are not circular like Copernicus had once thought, but in fact elliptical, thus creating the laws for planetary motion.⠀
