The Society of Sensation (PWH)

__TOC__
"What do you know? What can you know? Let's try something: Am I standing here next to you? How do you know? Right. You can see me.
"Now close your eyes—am I still here? How do you know? Right. You can hear me. If I were to stop talking, you might be able to smell me (I smell very interesting today). I think you're tumbling to the idea.
"Now, how about a berk on Mount Olympus—does he exist? How do you know? You can't see him, hear him, smell him, or touch him. Maybe someone else tells you he's there. But do you really trust other folks to tell you what's real and what's not?
"Here's the dark of the Sensates: You can only sense what's real, and what's real is only what you can sense. To sense something is to know it, 'cause you can't know anything if you haven't sensed it.
"We're out to sense everything, to try everything. Experience is the key. To know the truth, you've got to have experienced everything. Now, I don't mean that we want to climb every tree on Arborea or get drunk on diamond  mead every night for a month. We want a range of experiences. We want to try everything once—maybe twice. Sure, it sounds ambitious, but at least it's fun. And we've got a few tricks to help us along.
"See, we use wondrous magic to record experiences and sensations from all over the planes. We keep them in the sensoriums in the Civic Festhall, where anyone can sample them. Our headquarters is the most breathtaking building in Sigil, and that's just the outside. Inside, we've got the sensoriums, of course, but we've also got theaters, classes, museums, and all sorts of wonderment.
"Maybe you'd like to join our faction? All you've got to do is visit the Festhall and record your experiences—five to start off, and then regularly after that—so that others can partake and get that much closer to the truth. We all help each other in our quest for sensations.
"Look for us as we walk the planes. You'll see the truth in our words as we take the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures of absolutely ... everything."
