    Summary

    In which the Last Emperor of Astandalas and Lord of Zunidh is an unbonded sentinel (as if he didn't have enough problems) and Cliopher sayo Mdang rejects the entire classist and culturally imperialistic sentinel/guide paradigm out of hand and offers his Radiancy... almost the exact same thing, honestly, but done their way.

    Summary

    In the end, the decision was easy.

    "I've come to tell you I have accepted a position at Yiling University."

    "I am taking the professorship. I am also taking the boys."

    Summary

    The Emperor sits, nearly motionless, on a dais for the entire duration of the play, with his face in shadow. Restricted to the dais, The Emperor must nevertheless have a strong presence, and the full scope of the character must be communicated through posture, gesture, and voice. To do so while retaining an appropriately imperial demeanour requires great subtlety on the part of the actor.

     

    The Secretary is more active, and seems at first the less challenging role. However, his ability to shift subtly between personal speech and speech on behalf of The Emperor is essential to the impact of the play. The Secretary must be aware of and attuned to the Emperor at all times, without ever looking at him until the final scene. 

     

    In among all the thinly-veiled plays about His Radiancy and Kip, this one is about the simultaneous separation and synchronicity between the Emperor and his Secretary.

    Summary

    Through ungodly stupid magic DC bullshit, a cult successfully summons the Eye of Horus, Pharaoh to the House of Life, one of the Killers of Apophis, follower of the path of the gods.

    Members of JL Dark, some members of the JL, and most importantly John Constantine are appropriately horrified.

    Carter is just really excited to have new research materials. Magic is always fun to study!
