		<description><![CDATA[“Every choice has its shadow.” Early in Travelling‘s development I was playing around with art direction and drawing our first interiors. Behold, I said, this vast room wot I have drawn. Bask in its amplitude. Tremble at its generous size.

		<description><![CDATA[Minor spoilers for Travelling at Night, inconsequentially minor spoilers for Book of Hours! Three years ago, I sat down to write an in-game letter for each Wisdom. The one below was for Hushery. We were going to release it as part of the Book of Hours marketing run-up, but it was a particularly opaque effort. […]]]></description>

If you stare them in the face hard enough, they generally run away.” — Mervyn Bunter, Clouds of Witness (1926) Facts are the bricks of life, but they need a few licks of paint before you want to look at them.

As the struggles are resolved, they iron out the impossible, exalt the possible, tie the fraying braids of what has been into one golden ribbon of future. Everything is resolved.
