 		The message the link stems from off the main page was there before. I have to think that either the hyperlink wasn't added in before, or I just didnt see it.

 		Well, I suppose I'll try to catch the wish this time around. If you don't mind me asking, what was the purpose of a library card the first go around?

 		Uhm, I think the library card just ended up being some of the cool swag we got. Like the Emporium of the Weird Bumper Stickers.

I thought Sarah was part of Phyllis' house. Her artwork was on the walls?

In the 2003 game Sarah was the mysterious missing woman whose artwork was painted all over the walls of Phyllis. This game Sarah appears to have taken over for Agatha Dobbs at the library.


[Spec] Unless Sarah "took over" Iris when Reality reset. This could explain some of the stuff in her blog... though we won't know anything about that until this site decides to update.

 		[Update] New Message from Sarah June 29
Message update

Quote:
June 2006: Dear Friends of the Library,

It was a hard-fought and sometimes contentious battle, but we have succeeded in our struggle and have saved the Library. My deepest and most heartfelt thanks go out to all of you who helped, who wrote and signed and called and even sang your love for the "Bound pages, not web pages!" You have my undying gratitude.

The Aglaura Police have given me the go-ahead to publish some pictures of the missing masks. I have been asking around to the Library patrons who attended the exhibit and have found a couple people with some good mask pictures. They have given me permission to post them online. Please take a look once they're up and let me know if you have seen them.

Best Wishes,
Sarah Wyatt, Head Librarian

Mrs. Dobbs began a campaign that lasted several years to augment and replace the library's outdated volumes and included bringing in a large portion of the locally famous Wali Fard collection of books and manuscripts.


The mysterious Ashram makes another appearance.

Hmmm... a comment Sarah said about Mayor Dobbs casting the deciding vote and his mothers shade coming to haunt him if he allowed it to be destroyed (ah, mentioned here) leads me to think Agatha didn't just retire, but has also died.

Another interesing tidbit from Dale's Journal (mentioned here) JD and Phylis adopted Sarah.

 		[Update] Mask of Knowledge July 1
Sarah has added the Mask of Knowledge




Looks a bit like the world tree "Yggdrasil" and a little like this painting that Sarah painted in CTW1.

 		So, is our current task:
"History"
?
If so, is it history related to Aglaura/CTW1 or the type of history we're experimenting with on the mystes site (Greek/Roman/Other mythos)?

Either way, I'm glad we've got a lot of CTW1 vets.

 		Makes me think of The Tree of Knowledge aka The Tree of Conscience.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_Knowledge_of_Good_and_Evil

Since I've heard it said that the eyes are windows to the soul. The eyes on the mask make me think of a soulless person black and dark. Someone without a soul or a Conscience.
While the eyes on the mask on the left remind me of the good. And looking at the eye with the red and comparing it to enaxor's image I think of a vortex to another outer world dimension while the white eye makes me think of the inner world dimension.

But then there is this which fits nicely with the Yggdrasil (yew tree in Aglaura) and the things that have been going on in the story.
http://www.earth-dancing.com/yggdrasil.htm
Quote:
YGGDRASIL

The World Ash Tree of Norse mythology, consists of three huge roots and is considered to be the pillar of the Universe. Each root goes into one of three wells.

The first root is in Vanaheimr and goes into the Well of Urd or Well of Wryd, where the three Norns live in their cave perpetually deciding the fate of human beings. The three sisters are "Urd "that which has become," Verdandi "that which is becoming," and Skuld "that which will become."

Wyrd is a name that originated with the three Norse sisters known as the Norns. They were known as Urd - "that which has become," Verdandi - "that which is becoming," and Skuld - "that which should become." One of the three great roots of the Yggdrasil reaches into the Well of Wyrd keeping the World Tree replenished. At the well of Wyrd, the three Norns, also known as the Sisters of Wyrd, continuously "rist" (rist, means to engrave) Rune staves which are continuously thrown into the Well of Wyrd. The Well of Wyrd contains all the cosmic knowledge from the beginning of all time.

There is so much going on in the Cosmic Tree of Life! At the very top of the Tree there is a hawk named Veldrolnir. He is perched on top of the wise Eagle's forehead. The Eagle when it flaps its wings causes the winds of the earth to blow. At the root of the tree is a serpent named Nidhoggr that is responsible for constantly destroying the Yggdrasil by gnawing at its roots. A squirrel named Ratatosk constantly runs up and down the tree exchanging insults between the wise eagle and Nidhoggr. The four harts or stags Dain, Dvalin, Duneyr, and Durathror have voracious appetites constantly nibbling at the leaves of the Yggdrasil! It is said that they represent the four directional winds when they run around.

The second of the three roots goes into the Well of Mimir in the land of the giants known as Rimes-Thursar (the Frost Giants) in Jotunheimr. This is where Odin sacrificed one of his eyes for a drink from the bubbling cauldron, a well of enlightenment, so that he would speak eloquently.

The third root stretches into the Well of Helvelgamar, an underground spring of Nilfheim where Nidhoggr, the terrible serpent, is coiled around the base of the tree constantly eating at the roots of the Yggdrasil. This is the underworld presided over by the goddess Hel, Loki's daughter who is one of his three off springs. While locked by a gate within her realm, she resides over life and death and is half living and half dead as well.

The roots of the Yggdrasil produced a magic fluid called aurr. This is probably the life giving lunar blood that lies secretly at the root of all universal-elixir myths. The Yggdrasil was also the universal mother, "source of unborn souls." The first man, Askr, was created from the Ash tree and the first woman, Embla, was created from the Elm tree, and it was Odin that blew the breath of life into both of them.


I'm beginning to believe we are getting a virtual education on ancient (history) world religions from around the world. How they all are different yet one and the same. And how they all tell the same story of the cosmos on one hand and the story of the soul on the other. "As above so below."
