Hi! Could you possibly do a land analysis/quest for a Mage of Void in the Land of Irrelevance and Null? If not, then delete this ask as I fade into the Furthest Ring >:]
Ah! Hello, fellow Void player! I most certainly can. ;3
For a Mage, their Aspect is oppressive–it’s everywhere, and in order to gain some semblance of control over it, they have to learn and experience it.
That being said, here’s my interpretation:
“The Land of Irrelevance and Null is gray. There is no color, no strength. Nothing matters here–tomorrow is a faint dream, and the past is gone, never to return. Today is nothing but a dreary, pointless slog from one point to another. Nothing matters–they are all so small, so tiny, against the meaning of the universe and the Game, so why should anything they do matter?”
In this one, the irrelevance is taken to the extreme, and the Mage must learn of it and from it in order to use it–to awaken their Denizen and to twist the oppressiveness of their Aspect into something less damaging. The Denizen likely brings the aura of ‘grayness’ (both in the sense of the color, and of the feeling) with them, or intensifies the amount already there, leaving everything bland and feeling completely irrelevant, your actions ‘nullified’ by the apathy of the Consorts.
By understanding the irrelevance of the Land, and how it nullifies things, the Mage can use this knowledge to force the Denizen awake; who, given the nature of the Land, is unlikely to awaken without that push. This Mage’s Quest, then, is to experience the presence of their Aspect within the Land, and use it to find and awaken the Denizen by using that experience to avert the negative effects of their Aspect in the Land.
This may seem close to a Prince Quest, but it’s really not–the irrelevance is something the Mage needs to experience and understand, and it doesn’t need to be destroyed; instead, the once the Mage understands it, they can use that understanding to strengthen the ‘good’ parts of their Aspect that are present, and allow the ‘bad’ parts to fade into the background more. It’s meant to make the Mage learn, not make them destroy, especially as sometimes Mages can want to run away from their Aspect.
