Bazaar’s razor *facepalm*. Love it. Well, I don’t know why I think I remember that some of the College of Mortality stuff seems to suggest (I wasn’t taking notes or anything) that some of the Prester’s individual lives were more than one person. That the position wasn’t allowed to publicly be assassinated or die in some cases. Vacating it in some cases would water down the myth of the Prester’s power, I guess? I think it was the Sunless Sea thing where you assassinate an immortal by way of explosives. Presumably there wasn’t enough body left.

In addition to the whole “being pushed back into your body” when you die near the mountain. I always assumed (with little to no evidence) that the Prester’s power was tied to their depth of knowledge of the mountain (presumably passed through the ages), weird rituals in the wound, infusing him with light and life not unlike the way the Nadir was used to infuse Millicent with... is that too spoilery? (I wonder if the first was involved at the beginning, knows the diadochi (at least Nicator)

Tough choices, but if I had to choose one, I know what I am going to pick.

After going deeper in the darkness myself, there seems to be a few revelations that are revealed if you're willing to give up your batling and a level from all of your stats:

[spoiler] The Wings-of-Thunderbat apparently does come from the Elder Continent, and not be posing as a certain Master. More remains to be seen.

"These aren't your eyes. These aren't your kin...This is where you belong. This is where you should rest....Your hands and tongue and nose and ears aren't yours." The text implies that the player is a Snuffer all along, having stolen one's face.

What is this place? It seems that there is a connection with the depths of the Prickfinger Wastes and the Elder Continent, maybe even the Garden itself. The bats, which are supposedly native to the Elder Continent, are here en masse, the people here clearly serve the Presbyterate, and know of the beast with ten-thousand teeth, whatever it is. I haven't played Flint so I don't understand things like the Seventh Butler or the specifics about not killing flying things, but it is definitely interesting. I do feel bad for my batling though/

I doubt the player is a Snuffer, as Snuffers can't come back from a trip on the river, and yet the player can.
