Arquasto Notes

The Arquasto Notes are carvings and graffities of blood and ink scattered all around Hallownest that guide Arquasto to do more and more terrible things such as murder and theft. The notes are all signed by "Mr. Epsilon". Nobody knows who or what the Mr. Epsilon that writes the notes is but the Mr. Epsilon in Arquasto's head is a remnant of what she thinks her father Hiro'Tal looked like. Some speculate that Mr. Epsilon the writer is a primordial demon, some say its actually Hiro'Tal, some say its a bunch of psychopaths that enjoy torturing younglings. Either way, there is no way of knowing the identity of Mr. Epsilon.
=== The First Note ===
"Hello, Arquasto."
"If you have woken up in a dark room, you have succeeded."
"You are far away from your home, the Troupe Tent."
"However, you will die if you enter it."
"This bow is your companion."
"Platonically, of course."
"Use him to travel around this world and find anyone"
"Once you find out about my location, come and find me."
-Mr. Epsilon
=== The Second Note ===
"Hello, Arquasto."
"You have found the tent and our hand in it."
"Bad idea, but it's alright for now."
"Now, would you kindly find a Weaver Moth Hybrid in the Resting Grounds?"
"They'll have the next note."
-Mr. Epsilon
=== The Third Note ===
Most of this note is worn out.
"...Would you kindly kill..."
"...find Andramita..."
-Mr. Epsilon
=== The Fourth Note ===
The first note to be written in blood.
"Hello, Arquasto."
"You have successfully eliminated an enemy in our competition - hopeless world."
"Now, would you kindly kill the shade of a vessel named 'Terimita'?"
"They do not deserve it, but they also do."
-Mr. Epsilon"
=== The Fifth Note ===
One of the only notes carved on a vessel skull.
"Hello, Arquasto."
"You have succeeded again, I feel like you deserve a treat."
"Defeat the metal giant TAU, and you'll find out where I am."
-Mr. Epsilon
=== The Sixth Note ===
The front of the note is completely covered in ink, as if someone scribbled furiously in frustration. On the back, it reads;
"YOU FUCKING DUMBASS, YOU DIDN'T KILL HIM?"
"WHY DID I CHOOSE TO SAVE YOU FROM CERTAIN DEATH?!"
"I COULD'VE CHOSEN ERIC!"
"I COULD'VE CHOSEN HIM!"
"BUT I DECIDED TO CHOOSE YOU, YOU DAMN IDIOT!"
"NOW, CAN YOU GO TO THE TENT AND WALK INTO IT?!"
-Mr. Epsilon
=== The 3 Other Notes ===
One of the notes commands Arquasto to kill Andra. The other two were never discovered by Arquasto as she was killed in Zannker's mind - however, the ninth note she was supposed to find would be carved on a door, commanding her to take her own life.
