The Architect
The Architect (Mimar) is the name O.C. gives, in the Sürgün Günlükleri ("Exile Chronicles") campaign, to the being he believes wrote the Volumes of the Architect, some fifty books in which the places and dates of events in the lives of exceptionally lucky people are set down.1
O.C. says he does not know what the Architect is. Some scholars who studied the matter, now dead, held it to be a being bound up with time, or a guardian angel of the Empire; O.C. himself prefers to believe that, for all the terrible events along the way, what is written leads to a good end. He tried to reach the Architect and come to an understanding with it, but failed. In his account The Puppeteer hunts down and kills the people written in the volumes and works to bring about the opposite of what they foretell.2 3
When one of the companions tried to explain the Architect and the Puppeteer to others, in writing, in speech or by showing it from the mind, no one in the room could understand, and the speaker found that it could not be told.4
Asked about a missing volume, the White City nobleman known here as the buyer of the bottles recalled selling, some twenty years before, a rare book he had thought nonsense, and being paid in stones like those the company had found.5
