Sextus Leofdæg

Sextus stood as alone as a man can get when chained together with seven others, his chains stretched taught on either side as the men flanking him tried to distance themselves.  The only reason his arms weren’t stretched out was the men weren’t strong enough to pull his crossed arms apart.  He could hear them gagging.

“Mercury’s balls!” The man on his left gasped, “did you bathe in a Gallic latrine?”

The prisoner on the other side laughed, then coughed and spluttered. “This here’s Sextus the Sheep Fucker.  He’s famous for that smell”

The first man leaned forward to look across Sextus at the other. “Sheep Fucker?”

“Yeah, he was caught in with the food supply, shagging a sheep”

The prisoner squinted up at Sextus “For real? That’s a death sentence isn’t it?”

Sextus gave the man a toothy grin “for sleeping with the Tribune’s mother? Probably”

That brought a general round of laughter from others nearby

“Shut your pie holes!” Yelled a legionary walking down the line, “And form up properly! Close your…What in Hades is that fucking smell???” The soldier recoiled from his attempt to push the prisoners closer together

“Why, it is me! Sextus Leofdæg!”

“The sheep fucker? Why aren’t you dead?”

“Because he’s the best damn fighter we got” chimed in the expert on his right, “and despite that godawful smell, our Tribune has a soft spot for him for some reason"

“For your sake, hope you’re right,” the soldier called back as he walked on, “there’s an entire country of angry savages, and you all are the front line”

Character Sheet

***Saxon - Sextus Leofdæg - bestiality! - fucking the food - sheep fetish - odious personal habit - sleeps with animals, smells bad, chummy - thick as two short planks, but man can he fight!***
Legio XIII Gemina

Legio XIII was levied by Julius Caesar in 57 BC, before marching against the Belgae, in one of his early interventions in intra-Gallic conflicts. During the Gallic Wars (58–51 BC), Legio XIII was present at the Battle against the Nervians, the Siege of Gergovia, and while not specifically mentioned in the sources, it is reasonable to assume that Legio XIII was also present for the Battle of Alesia.

After the end of the Gallic wars, the Roman Senate refused Caesar his second consulship, ordered him to give up his commands, and demanded he return to Rome to face prosecution. Forced to choose either the end of his political career or civil war, Caesar brought *Legio XIII* across the Rubicon river and into Italy. The legion remained faithful to Caesar during the resulting civil war between Caesar and the conservative Optimates faction of the senate, whose legions were commanded by Pompey. Legio XIII was active throughout the entire war, fighting at Dyrrhachium (48 BC) and Pharsalus (48 BC). After the decisive victory over Pompey at Pharsalus, the legion was to be disbanded, and the legionaries "pensioned off" with the traditional land grants; however, the legion was recalled for the Battle of Thapsus (46 BC) and the final Battle of Munda (45 BC). After Munda, Caesar disbanded the legion, retired his veterans, and gave them farmland in their native Italy.
Archelaus Xenophon

Archelaos Xenophon was greek, well educated, erudite in many subjects, cultures, and sciences both physical and social. He also happened to be a slave who expected to be assigned to the General’s personal encampment as a tutor to the great man’s son. He was therefore rather surprised to find himself chained up with many uncouth men, shoved into carts, and then herded into rough formation.

“There’s been a terrible mistake”, he tried to explain to the grim-jawed legionary in front of him. His appeal was cut short by a casual back-handed blow that staggered him forward. He fell to his knees, vision swimming, the coppery taste of blood in his mouth. The man behind him in the line grabbed him and pulled him roughly to his feet.

“Keep fucking moving or you’ll drag the whole bunch of us down with you” hissed the fellow prisoner.

Xenophon tried again with the next legionary, “I’m meant to be teaching in exchange for citizenship.”

The soldier just laughed, “Right, mate! The recruiter probably told you that you’d get land too, didn’t he?”

Archelaos was stunned, “how did you know?” But the legionary laughed again and pushed him to keep moving, “Should have read the fine print. The recruiters will say anything to get you to sign.”

Muddy, cold, bedraggled and shivering, Xenophon stood disconsolately in line. What the hell did he know about fighting? What was he going to do? Talk the enemy to death?

***Greek - Archelaos Xenophon - slave - philosopher / teacher - taking a chance to gain citizenship - knows a lot of non-fighting things - great with languages***

Character Sheet
Legio XV Apollinaris

**Legio quinta decima Apollinaris** ("Apollo's Fifteenth Legion") was a legion of the Imperial Roman army. It was recruited by Octavian in 41/40 BC. The emblem of this legion was probably a picture of Apollo, or of one of his holy animals.

XV *Apollinaris* is sometimes confused with two other legions with the same number: An earlier unit which was commanded by Julius Caesar and met its end in North Africa in 49 BC, and a later unit that was present at the Battle of Philippi on the side of the Second Triumvirate and then sent east.
Inigo Salazar

Inigo Salazar strode calmly up to the line, and settled in to wait. He knew how this game was played. It wasn’t the first time and it wouldn’t be the last that he found himself in such a predicament. The army always took his money and “acquired” merchandise - but someone had always owed him a favor before that got him out of it. This time, he wasn’t sure who he could call on. But no matter. That too had happened before. Salazar was not one to exert himself without gain. After all, he hadn’t built a mini-empire of corrupt trade and favors within the army by rushing around and getting into fights. All he had to do was wait. Sooner or later there would be an opportunity. Somebody would want something and he would get it for them, and then a favor would be owed, and his rebuilding would begin….

Character Sheet

***Iberian - Inigo Salazar- arrested for stealing equipment and selling it for gain, and for bribing his way into the guarding the baggage train every battle - lazy Spaniard, smuggle***
Cerberus

It was a fine day with a bracing breeze. The smell of the sea wafted around them, the occasional glimpse of sun brightened everything to a glow, and the chains were so light, Cerberus didn’t even notice them. Not at all like the thick heavy chains he would be bound in for the Arena. Such a glorious day to be outside. Much better than being in the cells beneath an amphitheater, waiting to fight and bleed for the crowd on an unforgiving bed of sand. Feeling a nudge, he looked down to see a legionary trying to push him to keep the line moving.

Cerberus smiled and said “I am Cerberus! I fight well! I kill enemy!” The soldier looked up, replied “fucking great mate, now get a move on”

Cerberus did not understand, so he repeated a third of the latin that he knew “I am Cerberus!”

The legionary sighed, pointed up to the lines of other prisoners, and said loudly and slowly “Go..Up…There…Enemy … There!”

He didn’t understand all the words, but he knew to go where guards point. If he went that way, he would get to kill Rome’s enemies instead of their prisoners. And if he did it well enough, he got citizenship. It was true. The greek slave who was also at the recruiter explained it to him as they were signing up. It was good to know there was at least one other person here who spoke his language.

Character Sheet

***Carthaginian - Cerberus - slave - gladiator - taking a chance to become a citizen - barely speaks Roman, but can kill almost anything... even when he should run away***

Legio XII Fulminata

The **Legio duodecima Fulminata** ("Thunderbolt Twelfth Legion"), also known as *Paterna*, *Victrix*, *Antiqua*, *Certa Constans*, and *Galliena*, was a legion of the Imperial Roman army. It was originally levied by Julius Caesar in 58 BC, and the legion accompanied him during the Gallic Wars until 49 BC. The unit was still guarding the Euphrates River crossing near Melitene at the beginning of the 5th century. The legion's emblem was a thunderbolt (on a shield *fulmen*). In later centuries it came to be called commonly, but incorrectly, the *Legio Fulminatrix*, the **Thundering Legion**.
Marcus Xagatus

Legate of Legio XI Claudia

A portly older Patrician. Likes his comforts but is a long-time soldier, and despite how he looks, prefers to be out on campaign rather than in the senate

- has a bluff honesty to him, highly respected by his men

Knows Gaius Fabius Maximus uncle (Publius Fabius Maximus Servus) and will be surprised to hear of Gaius' misfortunes

Bluff-hearted Legate: D10
Caratacus The Coward

For Caratacus, this would have to rate as his worst nightmare yet. Chained and visible. No way to run, and nowhere to hide. He hunched and tried to sidle behind the men flanking him. A shove in his back from the prisoner behind made him whimper. He felt sick to his stomach, his limbs weak and shaking, his brain yelling at him to run! Run! Yet he couldn’t. He found himself unable to appreciate the irony that it was his swiftness and speed that had elevated him to Cornicen, but his propensity for using that talent to avoid danger had brought him so low.

He heard the others whispering around him, “Coward”, “craven”, “spineless”

A passing soldier looked over at the whispering, saw him and knew him for what he was: Less than a man, a weak-spined yellow-bellied coward who turned tail and fled. Originally everyone thought he was good luck, the way he always emerged unscathed from a battle. This had led the Centurion to give him the trumpet and make Caratacus stand next to him. It was only then, visible to all, at the height of battle, the century sorely pressed upon three sides, that the Centurion turned to order the withdrawal, to see Caratacus’ backside disappearing behind the lines.

So he stood, and shivered, dying the coward’s death a thousand times, knowing he would be pushed forward, inexorably, into the face of the enemy, by the swords of his betrayed companions.

***Cornicen (Hornblower for centurions orders) - Gaul - Caratacus the Coward - arrested for cowardice***

***Apt to run away if scared, intimidated, or just no-one looking - dodges like crazy, runs like the wind.***

START: You've been thrown on a wagon, one by one.  this cart has rumbled on through the night, stopping every so often to on-load a new prisoner.  Jostled & yelled at all night

Barred wagon, pulled by oxen.  4 legionaries, a driver, and a Decanus (Avitus Galarius)

NEXT MORNING
Terminus Consus

Terminus Consus hoped and prayed to every god he could think of, that no-one would recognize him; that no-one in this crowd of miscreants had been a victim of his swindling. He hadn’t meant to. He loved money, thought it was his dream job to be put in charge of counting it. But it wasn’t his, was it? And he could make better anyway. The local whores and bars where the soldiers spent their pay couldn’t tell the difference between real and fake sestercii. His were works of art too. Thats ultimately how he got caught. His one fatal mistake - not realizing the soldiers were paid with the worst coins from the mongers.

Those around him had been mostly respectful. He still had his Signifer’s rank, and everyone knows to be nice to the man who counts your pay. If only they knew. Terminus suppressed a shudder.

When the Armicustos and the guards came for him, it had not been pretty. Dragged from his bed, trying to make excuses and stories while held suspended between two hard legionaries, and the Quartermaster dragging out his sins. First, the chest of stolen money; then, his forgery tools; then the fake books; then the personal items. Bags of small trinkets, medals, rings, shiny toys, junk jewelry, random glittering belongings he had pilfered from his own men. Finally he slumped, defeated, no explanation to give. It was just in his nature. He couldn’t help himself. He tried not to want things, but the fever of avarice would grab him. Even when he didn’t even consciously want something, he would still return to his tent of a night to find his pouch full of random items he had no memory of collecting.

His only hope lay in two things - that no-one else here was from his previous century - and that whoever was centurion would see his worth, the skill of his rank, and let Terminus be the Signifer for this crew of the damned.

***Signifer - Roman - terminus consus - arrested for swindling the pay***

Legio XI Claudia

Legio XI Claudia, along with Legio XII Fulminata, was a Roman Legion levied by Julius Caesar in 58 BC in Cisalpine Gaul, for his war against the Nervians. They likely were present at the Siege of Alesia.[*citation needed*] After his campaigns in Gaul, civil war broke out between Julius Caesar and Pompey, both of whom were triumvirs, and in January, 49 BC, Caesar invaded Italy with Legio XI serving in his army. They fought in 48 BC at Dyrrhachium and Pharsalus, but were disbanded in 45 BC and settled in Central Italy around the area of Bovianum Undecumanorum.
Cortex-SPQR Wiki

***A last chance for condemned men comes but once.***
As Caesar prepares to invade Britain, his army gathered on the coast of Gaul, more men are needed.  Weather has delayed his invasion, and desertions are sapping the men's morale

Salvaged from the prison pens, a replacement Century is created from condemned men - deserters, cowards, thieves, cheats, frauds, psychopaths, murderers - the dregs of the army.

These men have been given one more chance to serve the Republic, to redeem themselves (if they believe in redemption) on blood-soaked foreign shores.

"One"

Album Art by Bill Scoville.

**"One"** is a song by the American rock band Coheed and Cambria. It is the first track on their 2010 album *Year of the Black Rainbow*.

## Story Context

This track does not have any exact match to the story as it is fully instrumental. However, Coheed and Cambria is known for instrumental tracks representing the passing of time. As this album represents the first chapter of The Kilgannons' story, this track acts a bit more like a setup/prologue to the rest of the story and album.

## Trivia

* Sanchez played the Synthesizers.
* The title of this track, "One," acts as the tie-in to the other albums to show the same number sequence and solidify its place as the first chapter.
* This track had a voice over on the DVD. It said: "The Howling Earth was aptly named; that much was beyond dispute. Why it howled, on the other hand, was a matter of very active discussion." These sentences are the first two sentences in the first chapter of the novel.
* This track is reprised in "The Black Rainbow".

Indominus Rex

The Indominus Rex was a dinosaur from Jurassic World. It then died (because it was eaten by a Mosaurus) at the end of the film. The Indominus Rex was a mix of Tyrannosaurus and other animal DNA, it can change color and even turn invisible. Its said that it will be 15 metres when fully grown, as big as Gigantosaurus. It convinced Blue and the three other Velociraptors to attack all the people in Jurassic World. But Owen made the Velociraptors passive and attack the Indominus Rex. But that did not work and brought a Tyrannosaurus named Rexy, which battled the Indominus Rex
Spinosaurus

The biggest theropod, Spinosaurus was 17 metres in length, bigger than Tyrannosaurus. It has a sail on its back, which is how it gets its name. A similar animal, Oxalaia, was possibly the same animal. Despite its huge size, Spinosaurus would have been a fish eater, eating a diet of fish. However a spinosaurid tooth was found with a pterosaur vertebrae. Even more surprising a juvenile Iquanadon femur in the stomach of a Baryonyx, which meant that Spinosaurus was a hunter of small animals as well as fish.
Dilophosaurus

Dilophosaurus was a coelophysid from the early Jurassic. In Jurassic Park, Dilophosaurus had frills and could spit venom to blind prey. Dilophosaurus would be different than that in real life, having no frills, cannot spit venom and has a longer neck. It was 6 metres long, as big as Utahraptor, making it the biggest coelophysid. however it could not be a coelophysid and make its own family, the dilophosaurs.
Tyrannosaurus

Tyrannosaurus was the most popular dinosaur. For a century, Tyrannosaurus was the biggest theropod until the discovery of Gigantosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus and Spinosaurus. T-Rex was the only species of Tyrannosaurus, however Tarbosaurus, Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus were a species of Tyrannosaurus. At a length of 12 metres (or 13 metres), it was the biggest tyrannosaurid.

"Run Like Hell"

The PFI logo.

**"Run Like Hell"** is an unofficial demo song by The Prize Fighter Inferno that was leaked in 2004.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

I'm divided with decisions

I'll call you, through the permanent

And carry the rise and fall of man

To stomach the stabs

I'll worry if I need to

A book I'll never get to open up

This city ablaze, your body aflame

I'm sent to put out

**[Pre-Chorus]**

If I'm dead, then you're alright

I'll start killing when the dog starts asking to

I'll start killing when the dog starts asking to

**[Verse 2]**

Your eyes bear curious

And I'll show it if the word is true

I'll chisel the end in skin and bone

And toast the stone

I'm quicker than the cure

I'm sicker than the illness

I bury the cautious foot of man

Through a hole in your hair

**[Pre-Chorus]**

If I'm dead, then I'm alright

I'll start killing when the dog starts asking to

I'll start killing when the dog starts asking to

**[Bridge]**

She said, "You're the one for me"

And he said, "Baby, I'm not who you thought I'd be"

She said, "You're the one for me"

And he said, "Maybe I'm not who you thought I'd be"

"Maybe I'm not who you thought I'd be"

**[Chorus]**

So run like hell, run like hell

I can't believe they're coming for me

Run like hell, run like hell

Your mouth's my host, the gunshot smoking

Run like hell, run like hell

I can't believe they're coming for me

Run like hell, run like hell

Your mouth's my host, the gunshot smoking

## Trivia

* Though many people believe this song to be a PFI song, there is a strong argument for it being an early version of "Gravemakers & Gunslingers". Some people also point out that the song doesn't really have the PFI electronic sound, and that some riffs feel more like Coheed and Cambria proper than PFI.

"Love Protocol"

Album Art by Chase Stone.

**"Love Protocol"** is a song by the American rock band Coheed and Cambria. It is the eighth song and fifth single on their 2018 album *Vaxis – Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures*.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

You locked a knife inside my heart

Buried a key inside my mind

The maps surveyed, the X you chart

Where our hands go to hide

**[Pre-Chorus 1]**

Will our needs stay level

As the terrain starts to grade high?

Should I remain unsettled?

Watch goodnight turn to goodbye

Goodnight turn to goodbye

**[Chorus]**

Hold on to me

Tell me you've got me, sweetheart

The world is going dim in my gaze

Sweet vertigo

Feel my lungs heaving, choking

Clawing down my back, panic attack

I'm alone, watch me float as I fall

**[Verse 2]**

The soundtrack placed over this part

It shares no rhythm of mine

It juts and sways, it ends and starts

All in and out of our time

**[Pre-Chorus 2]**

Oh, I can be your dancer

The one you set within your sights

When I admit surrender

Then maybe goodbye will turn to goodnight

Goodbye will turn to goodnight

**[Chorus]**

Hold on to me

Tell me you've got me, sweetheart

The world is going dim in my gaze

Sweet vertigo

Feel my lungs heaving, choking

Clawing down my back, panic attack

I'm alone, watch me float as I fall

**[Bridge]**

Oh no, we have been cursed

This stage set for a tragic verse

Our love protocoled romance

Our air drained of happenstance

What have we turned ourselves into?

This abstract personnel

**[Chorus]**

Hold on to me

Tell me you've got me, sweetheart

The world is going dim in my gaze

Sweet vertigo

Feel my lungs heaving, choking

Clawing down my back, panic attack

I'm alone, watch me float as I fall

Oh, watch me float

Oh, watch me float

Watch me float as I fall

## Story Context

There doesn't seem to be a one-for-one with the novella for this song, but rather a sort of look into how Nia feels as she reunites with Nostrand.

## Trivia

* Travis Stever said that this song, though not originally written for the album specifically, felt like it should belong and the band came together to put music behind it and it seemed to come to life with them finding a place for it in the story.

## Brief History

It is not know where Sector 3 exactly resides, just that it is located in the "North Eastern" area of the Fence. During the Mage War, Limbi surrendered himself and his sector to Wilhelm Ryan who declared himself "Supreme Tri-Mage" of all the Fence at the conclusion of the war.

## Notable Planets

As mentioned, this sector has a designated capital planet with five follower planets, for a total of six. There are no notable planets.

## Lyrics

As I first walked out

LA whispers

She hides no secrets from me

She lays them out

On a bed of cracked concrete

She will love her

Under cardboard covers

I'll be your everything

In these streets of golden stars

She'll bed our broken hearts, mhm

Oh, the less you care to know

The more you'll call her home, mhm

For in the fangs of the fox

You will receive the teeth

The teeth

The teeth

Once a little girl with dreams, with one dream

Until the lights unknowing

To meet man's every need

Now the burning break of dawn

She counts her money

These years unfriendly

Was it worth your fantasy?

In these streets of golden stars

She'll bed our broken hearts, mhm

Oh, the less you care to know

The more you'll call her home, mhm

For in the fangs of the fox

You will receive the teeth

The teeth

The teeth

So good night sunset

Hollywood just close your eyes

And when the morning comes

We'll be miles across state lines

Oh the escape's so good

It tastes so sweet

But we'll regret, the moment we up and leave

In these streets of golden stars

She'll bed our broken hearts, oh

Oh, the less you care to know

The more you'll call her home, mhm

For in the fangs of the fox

You will receive...

For in the fangs of the fox

You will receive...

For in the fangs of the fox

You will receive...

The teeth

The teeth

The teeth

"Random Reality Shifts"

Album Art by Heidi Taillefer.

**"Random Reality Shifts"** is a song by the American rock band Coheed and Cambria. It is the twelfth track and second bonus track on their 2013 album *The Afterman: Descension*. It was originally released on *The Afterman: Descension* (Big Beige Demos) album but was released on the iTunes version of the original album as a bonus track.

## Lyrics

This little runaway, against the golden cusp

She screams words of distrust to tease me

As the motor turns to thrust

Her skin the tone of rust, her eyes burning with lust

Pray in disbelief, this day be done

Little switchblade sister, dreaming of guns

Your courage; a disease, it's strengthening me

Oh, I'll pull the trigger, hun

Oh girl, and watch it blow up

All this, I have wanted and more

While I live in the blame

I wish the past could come take it back, so I can start it all over

All this, I have pushed to endure

Just to find out, it's breaking me

Disgustingly fit into, unhappily, with the absolute questions:

Is this what I need? Do I even feel this?

This burden's mine alone

This world will never know, as I live with it in tow

All this, I have wanted and more

While I live in the blame

I wish the past would come take it back, so I can start it all over

All this, I have pushed to endure

Just to find out, it's breaking me

Disgustingly fit into, unhappily, with the absolute questions:

Is this what I need? Do I even feel this?

Oh, I need a break from these random reality shifts and mood swings

All good boys run home to mommy, but you're not afraid no more

Go in through the front door, and give 'em hell, buddy

All good boys run home to mommy, but you're not afraid no more

Go in through the front door, and give 'em hell, buddy

Oh, I think I've made a mess

I've made a mess

All this, I have wanted and more

But while I live in the blame

I wish the past would come take it back, so I can start it all over

All this, I have pushed to endure

Just to find out, it's breaking me

Disgustingly fit into, unhappily, with the absolute questions

I can't find the answers to this life

I can't find the answers to...

I don't think there, or anyone there is just nothing

I don't think there, or anyone there is just nothing

Hold onto what you have, never let go

Find out what happens in the truth low below

Oh, I think I've made a mess

I've made a mess

## Story Context

Though not directly associated with a "chapter" in the book, many fans believe this song is still dealing with the consequences and aftermath of the car crash referenced in "Gravity's Union". This is because the line, "Oh, I think I've made a mess" is also featured in that song.

## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

Why? Why?

Wide open

Wide open

**[Verse 1]**

Cassio, could you love me more?

Can we be friends

On a journey to Tibet, I call freedom?

Words unsung

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Hold me close

Don't let the wind follow

Don't let the wind take us away

**[Chorus]**

Cassio

What the fuck is anything worth, at all?

It's my freedom

Cassio, Cassio

**[Verse 2]**

Cassio

Can you stomach what I've done

Oh, to your soul?

Can we drown?

Getting caught in muddy waters and go down

Forever, I doubt

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Hold me close

Don't let the wind follow

Don't let the wind take us away

**[Chorus]**

Cassio

What the fuck is anything worth, at all?

It's my freedom

Cassio, Cassio

**[Bridge]**

Never let me go

She's been high up

It's my fault

She never let up

It's my lonely year

It's the only salvation

It's my final request

**[Chorus]**

Going down

Going down

My fault

No, we're going down

Bye, we're crashing down

Oh, we're crashing down

Oh, we're crashing down

Oh, we're crashing down

**[Outro]**

Now I know you're going down

*(Higher)*

Going down

Bye, Cassio

## Lyrics

Oh... Oh...

Come Saturday

And wash the mundane off from the weekday, my dear

This time, love's not the same

I see her face

Oh, and every space, this room monopolized

When she crowds, I can't get enough

So I wait here defeated by the West Side Highway

To hand over my heart

Bridge and tunnel girl

Come back to me

Come back to me

Bridge and tunnel girl

She's over on the other side

My heart lost in the Hudson

Oh... Oh...

Oh... Oh...

It's four AM

The city sleeps as I phone the cold air dial tone

Desperate to hear her speak

Oh as I wait here pleading by the West Side Highway

A creep in the dark

Come back to me

Come back to me

Bridge and tunnel

Bridge and tunnel girl

She's over on the other side

My heart lost in the Hudson

Oh... Oh...

Please don't leave me, no...

Well I know you don't give a damn about me

I know, I know I'm just another freak

But the idea of you, you is all I need

To keep me here, me here

So I wait here defeated by the West Side Highway

And I'll cut out my heart

Come back to me

Come back to me

Bridge and tunnel

Bridge and tunnel girl

She's over on the other side

My heart lost in the Hudson

Oh... Oh...

My heart lost in the Hudson

Oh... Oh...

My heart lost in the Hudson

Oh... Oh...

Oh... Oh...

Great Crash

The **Great Crash** was a cosmological event that occurred some many years before the events of *Vaxis I*. Very little is currently known about it, but it is presumably the result of Claudio Kilgannon fulfilling his destiny as the Crowing and destroying the Keywork, freeing the souls trapped within Heaven's Fence and destabilizing the gravitational balance of the planets therein.

## Context

* In "Prologue":
> "The Five Houses of the Star Supremacy have privatized the detention zones of the galaxy / These planetary prison pits reassembled from the cracked worlds of The **Great Crash**."
>
>

	+ This is elaborated in the novella, though it wasn't named:
	> "Years ago, **chaos** cut through this atmosphere. The **fractured worlds** that inhabit this space were once locked in a force of **uncontrollable destruction**. Gravity was lost. Their planetary trajectories conjoined in one **catastrophic collision**, choking to remain viable even as the dying glow of their cores peek through the cracks and scars of those impactful moments. Yet a gasp is a sign of life, and the planets that many might have cast off as annihilated space continued to show a pulse across the hopelessness. These discarded earths were still very much alive… and made profitable by the Five Houses of the Star Supremacy, an elite society who looked to the sky and saw potential in the nearly-wasted planets. The opportunistic approach could hardly be considered an act of empathy for the human condition, as the decision to convert the dying planets into private prisons meant an unthinkable life sentence awaited those shipped off to their remote reaches."
	>
	>
* In *Vaxis - Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures*:
> "For a split second, he imagined it was a Quintillian Speaker. Children across the universe had been whispering about them since he could remember; strange beings conceived of energy from the **great crash**.

"The Homecoming"

Album Art by Heidi Taillefer.

**"The Homecoming"** is a song by the American rock band Coheed and Cambria. It is the first bonus track on their 2012 album *The Afterman: Ascension*.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

We are a living absolute

Stuck in an anguished innocence

This moment loved

I greet the sun

And wake from a war I could have won

Well in your arms I'll keep this memory to me

This kitchen floor won't reveal all the things I felt for you

**[Chorus]**

Please level with me

Understand, I'd do anything for you

Seize any moment while you can

This void's coming after you

Cause loneliness is why you hurt

Just don't kill the messenger

**[Verse 2]**

The dust a-dance against my breath

The world awaken slowly dressed

A life unanswered in the light

With questions scattered in the night

And now my heart feels heavy

The weight will drag me down

You were the only reason

They'd find me here tonight

**[Chorus]**

Please level with me

Understand, I'd do anything for you

Seize any moment while you can

This void's coming after you

Cause loneliness is why you hurt

Just don't kill the messenger

Please level with me

Understand, I'd do anything for you

Seize any moment while you can

This void's coming after you

Cause loneliness is why you hurt

Loneliness is why you hurt

Please level with me

Understand, I'd do, I'd do anything for you

Seize any moment while you can

This void's coming after you

Cause loneliness is why you hurt

Just don't kill the messenger

## Story Context

Though not directly associated with a "chapter" in the book, many fans believe this is another, direct look into Meri's thoughts regarding Sirius' disappearance. Obviously, in "The Afterman", she learns of the loss, and in "Goodnight, Fair Lady" six months has passed. This song is believed to take place within that missing year.

We get lines like, "We are a living absolute / Stuck in an anguished innocence" and "This kitchen floor won't reveal all the things I felt for you" depicting Meri in pain from the loss, and also "And wake from a war I could have won / Well in your arms I'll keep this memory to me" showing her own regret at not being more honest with Sirius—maybe if she had, he would still be here.

She goes on to say, "Please level with me / Understand, I'd do anything for you" which may be her cry for him to just pick his work over her explicitly so she can be free of the turmoil and guilt inside herself. "This void's coming after you / Cause loneliness is why you hurt" shows Meri knows Sirius, possibly better than he knows himself. She knows he seeks recognition from the world and thinks these dangerous missions are the way to achieve that, but the Keywork, ultimately "kills" him.

We get more imagery of a depressed, regretful Meri, who now wonders into the Fair Lady ("You were the only reason / They'd find me here tonight").

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Pay your thoughts no mind in cowardly contradiction

We are the meek, we are the small

We are the failed that leads us blindly to have no hope at all

In ourselves, we run the risk

There's only one way to make their list

So I say "fuck this," I'll make my own list

And we'll welcome a new today

**[Chorus]**

So goodnight, my dear!

If only one thing's clear, it's I'm coming home

Oh, and leaving this scene and I'm keeping it off of me

Oh, I've been mistaken, only no hesitating gears

Hold through all of these years

**[Interlude]**

*(Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor)*

*(Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor)*

**[Verse 2]**

Pay no mind to the sign that will take you home

We are immobile and overgrown

There is no moving these gears

So please, just leave us the hell alone!

I've been a beggar and a fool

To a conscience, that beats me up with rules

*(Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor)*

*(Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor)*

**[Chorus]**

So goodnight, my dear!

If only one thing's clear, it's I'm coming home

Oh, and leaving this scene and I'm keeping it off of me

Oh, I've been mistaken, only no hesitating gears

Hold through all of these years

**[Interlude]**
*("La la la-la, la la la-la-la-la")*

*(Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor)*

*(Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor)*

*(So goodnight, my dear!)*

*(If only one thing's clear, it's I'm coming home)*

*(em fo ffo ti gnipeek m'I dna enecs siht gnivael dna ,hO)*

**[Chorus/Outro]**

Goodnight, my dear!

If only one thing's clear, it's I'm coming home

Oh, and leaving this scene and I'm keeping it off of me

Oh, I've been mistaken, only no hesitating gears

Hold through all of these years

Goodnight, my dear!

If only one thing's clear, it's I'm coming home

Oh, and leaving this scene and I'm keeping it off of me

Oh, I've been mistaken, only no hesitating gears

*(Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor)*

Hold through all of these years

*(Dance floor, dance floor, da- da- da- dance floor)*

Goodnight, my dear!

Sector 5

A simple map of The Fence.

**Sector 5** is one of twelve sectors in the space colony known as Heaven's Fence. This sector contains six planets in total though we do not know any of them. Before the Mage War, the governing mage of this sector was **Bran Wilsinger**.

## Brief History

It is not know where Sector 5 exactly resides, just that it is NOT located in the "Western" area of the Fence. During the Mage War, Wilsinger was the first mage Wilhelm Ryan captured, obtaining his sector in the process. Eventually, all the other sectors fell too and at the end of the Mage War, Ryan declared himself "Supreme Tri-Mage" of all the Fence.

## Notable Planets

As mentioned, this sector has a designated capital planet with five follower planets, for a total of six. We do not know any of these planets, nor do we know which is the capital planet.

## Trivia

* There is a Fawn Lebowitz that lives in Sector 5 who was interviewed for an encounter she had with narrows.
