 ## Episode 52: Truth and Lies
 We begin where we left off in the library and Miwyfe, Neil and Nox are there.
 Miwyfe finds a book regarding the veil, and attempts to breach it were abandonded around 500 years after. A connection to Bren was made since it seems everyone knew who was responsible for the creation of the veil, however there is no reasoning.
 In recent years, within a 100, the Arcanum has made efforts to spark curiocity regarding the veil, the Author is Audric Dessanen explains the many different reactions about when the veil lifted. Many were fearful, and blamed farlanders for the political disasters.
 The apparent ascendency of a mortal to godhood, Titus warborn, has been given up in Tellius. Many do not support the ascencion. Mistral is the 4th continent in this world.
 Neil has a book about someone escaping their fate. A boy named Severn -- he rised to great renoun but died by fire in his 30th year by prophecy. His parents kept him from all fire however fire seemed to find him. He caught flame at 12, house struck by lightning when younger. He wanted to beat the destiny and spoke with many scolars about it, and found that phphecy is a chain, so he decided to master fire instead of fear it. On the eve of his 30th birthday a cabal of warlocks led him to a cursed flame and Severn walked through it due to his mastery of the fire. From then on no sear dared name his fate, for Severn the unbroken proved that destiny can be defied.
 Ulq seems to be really interesed in Neil. He deems him very important.
 The king of Daein is fearful of the power he holds drying up on him.
 The espada are the ones that hold true power. Power that kills kings, topples kingdoms.
 Ulq is the last Espada left. He has spent years traveling around trying to find others.
 Eldric has been working with him for the last 40-50 years.
 Ulq founded the spellbinder society, to gain a position of leverage against the oracalcum exchange.
 They rely on the society more than they let on, should Eldric sever ties, he doesn't care if the org exists.
 They are only there to make sure the money goes where we need it.
 The goddess of time, is who Ulq hates most. He pulls out the small dial and the compass opens within his grasp. What appears to just be a compass holds more value than we could possibly know.
 He wants to return it to its full potential.
 He plans to take Tillia back from the time goddess.
 There was a great lie told to everyone, the throne of eternity conflict was a tragedy, a grab for power.
 But the things Ulq saw when in the time realm. He has seen the throne of eternity, and has seen it empty.
 Whatever god sat there, hasn't for thousands of years perhaps longer. Imperious was the dog that wanted to ascend to godhood.
 There is someone else trying to make a grab at the throne, someone who has been doing it for a long time and trying to cover it up. Someone who knows will happen in the future. The goddess of time.
 Ulq resents all deities and wishes to be rid of all of them, but understands the consequences are not the best with that outcome.
 None know what happens when you sit on the throne of eternity. Accessing it is hard, it sits outside of anywhere even the gods can touch. He does not plan to trade Neil for Tillia.
 Ulq eats the emissaries because of their power. It is insurmountable. He shows us his arm, where we see multiple dials running up to his shoulder. He has consumed 26 creatures. They contain spells that have been long dead to the world. Abilities that will aide him in his quests.
 He told us all this because of the boy, because he trusts us. If he can no longer trust us he will kill us.
 He requests that we summon the boy to our meeting area at this time.
 I contact Noxx and he is an idiot that does not know how to respond to a sending message.
 Neil notices someone following them as they travel to the meeting spot.
 They confront him and ask for Sebastian's last name.
 Ulq shows that he has been near death multiple times. His torso is mutilated.
 Ulq shows Neil his compass, and Neil shows him his. When brought together they help you find and locate the time disturbances.
 When you are in the realm of the gods, when they are brought together they direct you to the doorway to the throne.
 Ulq has looked into the disturbances and he thinks they go to another realm: the astral sea.
 The Fate-weaver might know about what Neil is to be used for.
 I ask Ulq about 'When Death Marches'.
 He is not too fond of Gods, however he does have an issue with one in particular, the one that took his sister Tillia.
 > Justin Tucker is the one that gave the message to the king, this message led to Locke's father losing his eyes apparently.
 Ulq is not the happiest with whatever happened with us in the chamber.
 Locke requests a private conversation.
 Ulq tells Neil not to let the compass into the wrong hands, not even his own if he were to ask for it.
 Locke and Ulq talk a bit in private: The boy won't choose victory over the preservation of life.
 Ulq knows there is a good in him, due to his youth.
 He shakes hands with Ulq, and Locke has never felt raw strength like his before. He feels as if he could rip his hand from his arm easily.
 Locke needs to talk to Ozen in the morning.
