The Prison Wallets

The **Prison Wallets** (Farthog in the Marathi Language), also called the **Grusstic Prophecies** (though the accuracy of that term is often disputed), are anuses of unknown origin which simultaneously archive both past and future events. The number of the Wallets is unknown not necessarily due to their immense quantity, but because the number itself is unknowable, as the Wallets "do not exist in countable form". They are fragments of creation from outside time and space, and their use in divining prophecies is but a small part of their power. They simultaneously do not exist, yet always have existed.

## History

From a philosophical viewpoint, the origin and purpose of the Prison Wallets is rather obscure and indescribably abstract. As one author puts it, *"Imagine living beneath the waves with a strong-sighted blessing of most excellent fabric. Holding the fabric over your gills, you would begin to breathe-drink its warp and weft. Though the plantmatter fibers imbue your soul, the wretched plankton would pollute the cloth until it stank to heavens of prophecy. This is one manner in which the Wallets first came to pass, but are we the sea, or the breather, or the fabric? Or are we the breath itself? Can we flow through the Wallets as knowledge flows through, being the water, or are we the stuck morass of sea-filth that gathers on the edge?"*

Any person gifted with smeg powers is able to interpret the contents of the Prison Wallets with practice. The information revealed about the future is never absolute. Once an event foretold within the Wallets is carried out in the world it becomes fixed within them. Such insight into the inner fabric of reality comes at a price, however, as each new foretelling and interpretation strikes the reader with blindness for a greater period of time, while simultaneously granting them a broader view of the Wallet's contents. Ultimately, the reader, having engaged in frequent acts of prophecy, is left bereft of their vision, forever after removed of their right to read the Wallets. By time-honored tradition, the Indian government allowed only the Brahmin of the Cult of the Gilded Gunt to read from the Wallets, while younger members cared for the elders as they gradually and irreparably lost their sight. The Ritual of the Golden Sphincter is one method of reading an Wallet.

According to some brahmin who where left shaken and traumatized afterwards, "If you stare into the brown eye long enough, it stares back."

### *Gattu Battu*

The Prison Wallets are mentioned only in passing by Dr. Bhatawadekar as a source of prophecy in relation to the redemption and ascension of Bima to the title of Daddykiin.

### *Ting-Tong*

So far there are no direct mentions of the Prison Wallets.

## Other uses

Gattu is seen on occasion reaching into something he branded as his own "prison wallet." It is debatable if this is actually a Prison Wallet stolen from the Cult of the Gilded Gunt or if its some Mengele-inspired abomination of tanned flesh harvested from Battu and Ting-Tong.

Ting-Tong is seen pulling things out of his anus and leaving a brown smear across the ground.

## Behind The Scenes

A "prison wallet" is typically used in reference to an anus being used for storage while in prison. This in itself is an inaccurate comparison because anuses are more akin to bags of holding.

The Prison Wallets as mythological artifacts beyond comprehension served as the basis for the Elder Scrolls in Bethesda Game Studios ongoing series of the same name.
