If you found this list I am dead do not mourn me it was by my own hand. What I have written here was learned by trial and error and was paid for with the lives of many companions. Do not waste what I have given you.

1. Always destroy the heads of those who die. there are many who would make use of their bodies deny them.

2. Never travel in a groups larger than a dozen herds always attract predators.

3. The BIRDS are your allies they will warn you of danger but they are spiteful as well. Reward them often and generously. Never harm them for they can just as easily lead danger to you.

4. Do not pray try not to ask for help either without naming the specific person you are asking. IT considers itself a god and you do not want ITS help.

5. Never enter the TOWNS both the ones that were once ours and the ones THEY built. Even the abandoned ones there is nothing for you there and you do not want to see what THEY leave behind

6. You may have notice that your memory from before and after the EVENT is full of holes. Do not make my mistake do not try to remember what you have lost and above all else DO NOT REMEMBER THE EVENT.

7. Do not think of IT often and when you do try to dehumanize it as much as possible IT likes attention.

8. The Soldiers speak nothing but lies. Their food is rotten their medicine is tainted and there is no safety. Do not fear them their guns have no bullets and they are too weary to chase you. Do not end their suffering if you can help it. They made their deal let them reap the consequences for it.

9. Do not fear the children they are not much stronger than an adult and far more uncoordinated and they are truly sorry for what they do to you. Fear what made them for they are its eyes and it is not sorry for what it will do to you.

10. The communes are peaceful despite their appearance. However that peace requires you to sacrifice and if you are not willing to make that sacrifice leave before they make you.

11. Do not let THEM know of you they will chase you and you are faster than them but THEY do not stop so you either must cross a river THEY cannot swim or kill them. I recommend the river they do not die easily.

12. If you think they will catch you pray as loudly as possible before THEY take away your tongue. Think of IT while you do and IT might show up, IT and THEY are not allies and there’s a tiny chance you will be able to escape in the fighting. IT will win and IT loses interest quickly.

13. In the likely event IT catches you do not look afraid, do not cry and do not beg. Curse IT until your last breath. ITS PUNISHMENT will be agony but it will end being FORGIVEN does not.

14. Do not travel during winter you will starve there is no food during winter. Stay at one of the Communes if you are able too they have plenty of food and they sleep during the winter. Always leave at least a week before spring they get quite active when they thaw.

15. Do not go to the shore many of those who remain are clustered there and being a small fish in an empty ocean is far better than being a small fish in a cramped pond.

16. Do not get overconfident because of this list there are many horrors out there. When you encounter something unknown make sure you are not the slowest in your group.

Edit PLEASE READ THROUGH THE COMMENTS BEFORE YOU POST A LOT OF PEOPEL ARE MAKING THE SAME ARGUMENTS Edit Okay I didn’t clarify what I meant by speech here well I’m not talking about literally speaking I’m talking about peoples ability to express an opinion First off I don’t want to protect hate speech I just really don’t want to give the government the power to police speech. Any law that the government makes to censor speech will be misused. Even if the government that implements it has good intentions the nature of democracy means they can and will be replaced ( and if it’s a dictatorship then they have much bigger problems ) If the group that replaces them has bad intentions they will use it to censor their political opponents. Unless they are actively threatening the lives of people the state should not be able to punish them. Edit a lot of People are jumping on me for my exception so I’m just gonna put this into the post THREATENING VIOLENCE ISN’T VAGUE hate speech is the main problem is a lot of laws are really vague on what constitutes restricted speech Edit also child porn even if you didn’t pay for it should be restricted Edit also I don’t care what private citizens do in response to speech

Atlas is strange; he was betrayed by the society he serves, sent to die in the far ink, yet at the same time, he is willing to exterminate his own family for the same society. It makes sense, though, when you realize how he was raised. Raa are weirdly honorable at basically a genetic level, and strange as it is, so is Atlas, but what Honor means to him is duty (Octavia almost certainly had a hand in his worldview). I think he believes that everyone has a duty to civilization to ensure stability. The rim betrayed them, so they had to be beaten down into obedience, and he did it in a way there would be no resentment. But if he only cares about stability, why didn't he join the rim? I hear you ask his men, Atlas does seem to care about his people, and the gorgons are zealots to the society, not to mention there is no scenario where the rim beats the society in a war, and eventually the golds in the core will want war theyre facist so he has to destroy them now before the golds do it sloppily in a way that will lead to more wars in the future. He is not loyal to people he was willing to betray Atlantia in a heart beat when Lysander became a viable option he could control Atlas is only loyal to the Society
