Field Notes

Drawing

The BOOK-BURNER is a trickster GOD on the world of her origin.

  • The BOOK-BURNER has eyes that mimic the cosmos. The pupil of one eye resembles the moon in its proper phase, glowing when the moon is full and dimming as it wanes.
  • She lives on a rocky beach, hidden. I had great difficulty seeking her out.
  • Her enemy is the LIBRARIAN, though there appears to be far more to their relationship...
  • She steals record-seeds from the LIBRARIAN's eyes and burns them. Once burnt, the information in the records is lost forever.
