As expected, the Sun of Babylon pointed us in the direction of the next Sebitti, this time in the Esterskald. Assuming this pattern holds true, there should still be a Sebitti in the Morningstar, Mayda… and perhaps the Ouroboros as well. I suppose the most pleasant of those three would be the Morningstar, so that’s where I’ll head next. Though, without the Cafe and Diner’s sigil of protection, I’ll need a few days to prepare my own protection against the unyielding heat and light.
As for the fourth Sebitti, it would seem the Sun has pointed us toward a tree in the Buzzing Plains. Twain and I were unable to investigate closer due to the Blackfly clouds and other ravenous insects. Of course, the Sebitti couldn’t be somewhere more peaceful like the Emerald Shore. I’m not entirely sure what the best approach would be to wade through the incessant insects of the Buzzing Plains. Beelzebub must have had a way to enter the Plains without being torn to shreds. Though whatever secrets he had died with him as he was never one to entrust the secrets of the Esterskald with others.
I would propose leaving this Sebitti behind, comforted by the thought that if we can’t get it, neither could Fenrir. Though, I imagine he could burn a path through the Plains to his prize with little effort. I suppose we could as well. Though doing so risks further destabilizing a currently Prince-less Otherside. The Buzzing Plains are one of the most violent regions, and if there is even a slim possibility that our actions could spread that violence further… Then again, we are trying to stop another apocalypse. I’ll leave the choice to the rest of you. I personally do not wish to touch that wretched chattering place with a ten-foot pole.
