Shez MOM....some hcs under cut

Formerly a talented scientist mage, Hypathia worked to develop the technology to preserve Agarthan culture after her kind were banished. However, the majority of the displaced Agarthans were more bent on planning an invasion on the aboveground "beasts."

She had initially made the technology to store information through artifical "drives". Epimenedes caught wind of this project and stole her work to make "cores": artificial devices that stored memories and conscious, which could be implanted into hosts.

The hosts ranged from captured "beasts" to artificially made bodies. This further developed into body possession. Hypathia, upon finding this out, was vocally against Epimenedes. Such careless use of lives horrified her.

But it was too late: his technology was being widely used by the Agarthans to extend their lives, and she had no influence over them. So Hypathia instead sought revenge against Epimenedes.

One day, Hypathia found out Epimenedes was undergoing core transfer into a new body. She took this oppurtunity to find the location of the procedure, and interrupted it by stealing his host: Shez.

Using magic to disguise herself, Hypathia eventually found refuge in a mountain village by claiming she was a healer (now named "Lillia") with a very small child. As thanks for letting them stay, Lillia became the quiet apothecary/doctor of the village.

Since she never had used the core technology to extend her life, she knew her body was not going to last long. But after all the ostracism from the Agarthans, Hypathia was happy to spend the remainder of her life raising Shez…

Celebrating Women in Philosophy Reading List

To celebrate women's contributions to philosophy, we have created a reading list of books and online resources that explore classic female philosophers and recent feminist philosophy. Despite the lack of opportunity in academic philosophy and their apparent invisibility in the field, women have been practising philosophers for many centuries. Some of the great social and cultural movements have also been enriched by the female minds. Explore books and articles on feminist philosophy, gender oppressions, and women's empowerment below.

Hypathia, Headmistress of Photobombing

(Wonder what she thinks of Copernica now that she has taken over her legacy and reformed Alchemy exactly like she wanted to do, wonder if she is proud of her now, wonder if Copernica knows she is alive and she is proud of her).

Chers canaris païens plus ou moins orthodoxes de tous bords,

Le nouveau zine de la Maison des Canaris Païens, Hypatia, est téléchargeable, imprimable, redistribuable gratuitement grâce au lien ci-dessus!

La Fontanelle vous y parlera d’Ada Lovelace, de la série animée Batman, de sociologie, de grenouilles ébouillantées, de neurologie et d’Hedy Lamarr... entre autres!

Hypatia est nommé d’après la mathématicienne et philosophe Hypatie d’Alexandrie et est à la base une très longue lettre à une adolescente, dont finalement les Canaris Païens se sont dit que tout le monde pouvait apprendre quelque chose (ne serait-ce qu’une statistique étrange pour briller en société)

Bonne lecture à vous!
