		<description><![CDATA[“Facts are like cows. 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. Mr Gradgrind of Hard Times said: “Now, what I want […]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my more quixotic projects has been to commission one piece of unique art for every Hour of the Mansus. You’ve already seen the gorgeously crochet Mother of Ants; the Vagabond is a project on a much larger scale. The sculptor Nicola Rigby took the best part of a year to sculpt her in […]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Each century in the Mansus is a great hall. The Hours feast in the thirty-fifth of its kind. In its last year, they’ll close it up and move on. In our dreams, we can visit their abandoned halls. In our dreams.” – Meredith Blaine Aficionados of the Secret Histories may recall that Blaine was killed […]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We've kept our cards uncharacteristically close to our chest about EXILE, mostly because we weren't quite sure what its final form would be. Now it's nearly complete - and, by the way, almost as large as the whole of Cultist Simulator was at launch - I can finally share full deets with you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The big news this sprint is we moved house! 😱 Alexis has started a sourdough culture he refers to only as "The Bred Möther", and inspired by our current work on Exile, Sulochana has started an eternal feud with Big Ken whom she bites until I spray lemon at her.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From an anonymous F. to Christopher Illopoly, this letter is remarkable for a number of reasons. First, that it explains with more clarity than usual the purpose and abilities of the Librarian of Hush House. Second, that the ‘secrets of inks’ are discussed with the candour of assured destruction. Third, that the letter was evidently […]]]></description>

I’m naming this sprint update after the rather curious case of D and The History of Inks, written to a Dr. Serena Blackwood at the Office of the Curia.

		<description><![CDATA[This sprint’s title comes from my favourite literary lady, Gwendolen Harleth in George Eliot’s Daniel Deronda. That’s a lot of names to open this blog with, but we did a lot of things, sooooo… The big aim for this sprint was to get us ready for the EXPLORER’S BUILD, releasing on Monday!

		<description><![CDATA[Sarah Gordon (@notsarahgordon on Twitter) has been putting together some more quasi-Tarot for the Hours in the Cultist Simulator setting. She has access to a lore spreadsheet with details and correspondences for each Hour, but I have finicky and demanding requirements and we usually go through at least one round of changes.

		<description><![CDATA[The Thunderskin is the Heart Relentless, who does not permit conclusion. With the Mother of Ants, he is among the chiefest Gods-from-flesh. He cannot be stilled; he demands the dance; he is beaten, like a drum. Red and blue are his colours. He is heard in the Wood below the world. The Hours are the […]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Sun-in-Rags concludes endings beautifully. He is usually reckoned one of the Gods-from-Light; but Julian Coseley (the seventeenth-century magus and reputed immortal) has indicated he should in fact be numbered among the Gods-from-blood. He burns; he is distant; he is not as he was. He wears gold and red. The Hours are the secret gods […]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Witch-and-Sister unites what is at rest. She is sought at the water’s edge and beneath the moon. She cannot be touched; she cannot be separated; she is pearl, coral, amber. The Hours are the secret gods of the Cultist Simulator setting. Their true nature is too primal to be depicted, so the game kindly […]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Watchman is the Door in the Eye. He opens the way for the willing and for the unwilling. He is often the first Hour that we supplicate. He is always in white.
