Lately, I have heard many adventurers speak of imagined items, events, and protean relics that never were: a gem that enhances the recovery of one's equilibrium; a paper-thin veil that offers more protection than a suit of fullplate when drawn; trinkets that reward the bearer with greater luck or wealth.

This assault on memory could mean one or both of two things: that these are delusions implanted among those who recall them, or that recollection of these objects has been wiped away from those who do not.

As we each attempt to make sense of which memories to trust and which to reject, consider this: what is more plausible? That the memories of some few hundred adventurers have been altered, or that the entirety of the historical record and every other mind upon the continent has been affected?

It is nothing more than the arrogance of adventurers to claim that our recollections are superior, and to dismiss out of hand the possibility that it is us who are wrong.

Look. Listen. Think.
