The Perpendicularity Pool

A twenty-foot pool of pure white Investiture — the same liquid Moonlight carries in her jars, with its mother-of-pearl sheen — dug into the floor of the largest room of Entrone's Wayfarer mansion. The light pours up out of it, the surface begins to ripple as the device is brought online, and the air directly above warps with what Marasi reads as the early shape of a perpendicularity. Entrone tells her the location was chosen *because of those people* — the high concentration of Metalborn in the Community — and that the strange power *we were required to bring in* (the Investiture) is part of the key.
