Fragment of some writing I’m noodling around with—

Many believe that it is an immense task, perhaps an impossible burden, to know all that can be known. This is true. But there is one task harder.

There are scholarly disciplines for every topic on earth, save one, which we will touch on in a moment. Geologists plumb the earth’s hidden depths, whilst geographers array before our eyes the manifold marvels spread across it. Botanists diagram the inner lives of plants, phlebotomists diagnose the infernal flows of blood, physicists master the manner of the cosmos, and physicians manage the mortalities of our bodily matter. And this is to say nothing of the magical arts! Allomancy, cryomancy, pyromancy, illusionism, duplimancy, hieromancy, keuranomancy, mimeomancy, lumimancy, oneiromancy, necromancy, thaumaturgy, viromancy—a mere triskadecaton of the manifold numerosities found in the study of magic, most of all our native Shandalar, infused as it is with our native magics.

But whether we name sciences of the body or earth, alchemies of fluid and chemicalism, or magics of ice, flame, death, or light—in all these disparate sciences we may grasp a common thread weaving amidst the chaos, which is this: the vocation of unveiling, that is to say of making the unknown known.

But I invite you to imagine the reverse. Can there be such a science as makes the known unknown? That is to say, a science that mystifies that which we take without faith, that clouds those sunny days of our intellect, that casts over our knowledge a pall of obscurity and allows us to know nothing but this: that our world is not what we believe it to be?

Such is the science I propose to you. Such is cryptohistory.

Gor Muldrak, amphinologue 

Lore :

Les amphes, une race d’humanoïdes amphibiens vit en paix depuis des générations dans les profondeurs océaniques, mais leurs nombres sont en expansion constante, et leurs temples-cavernes d’ammonite ne peuvent plus contenir leur population devenue trop importante. Les prêtres amphes ont pour objectif d’atteindre la côte de Shandalar, et leurs chasseurs se préparent pour la guerre. Pendant ce temps, leurs mnémomages se sont infiltrés dans les égouts de toutes les villes majeures. Ils ont utilisé leurs pouvoirs de contrôle mental pour effacer toute connaissance de l’existence des amphes des esprits humains. L’absence quasi-universelle de savoir concernant les amphes dans toutes les universités d’Ardestan à Lesh est à la fois la preuve de leur puissance et de leurs mauvaises intentions.
