A Jeopardy! Clue that Stumped the Masters

I was catching up on last month's Jeopardy! Masters tournament (an American quiz show for the uninitiated), and this clue popped up, stumping all three contestants. Mind you, this is the Masters tournament for half a million dollars; these folks are crazy smart. Thanks, Weather Factory, for making me feel like those galaxy brain memes for a hot second, even if i sounded like a lunatic yelling "WHAT IS CORNISH?!" at my TV screen.

Who are the Calyptra and the Chancel before the Intercalate?

The Madrugad and the Meniscate both ascend to hourhood after the Intercalate, but they are members of the Calyptra and the Chancel, respectively.

The Calyptra clearly predates the Intercalate as the Libraries predate it. Do we have theories or hints about pre-Intercalate Calyptra? Did the Madrugad joined later? Or was she there as a Sun's Name? If so, does this count as the SiS being a member of the Calyptra, the golden flower? If so I would have more questions about the relationship between the SiS and the Watchman pre-Intercalate...

Same goes for the Chancel. I don't know when the Chancel formed, before or after the Intercalate. Is Meniscate always there, deciding who counts as Hours, as a Name? Or is the group/law formed after there are 30 hours and they decided that there should be no more?

I want to evolve a soul, not craft, how do I tell it?

https://preview.redd.it/7igt0uhcpvth1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d4a41c6ac07e7bf8032237cd02b186ab567f00a

It's the right attunement and the right aspect, but with either of my skills that is attuned and offered fret (sky stories and the lantern one), it wants me to craft something instead. Here using rose, or with the lantern using the blue one (I forget the name). How can I pick to evolve and not craft? What am I missing? I tried adding the memory but it doesn't seem to change anything. Or will pushing "start" work the way I want? The left tooltip is kinda vague and the right one has a craft selected so I'm not sure which will apply. And if the upgrade works, does that mean I wouldn't have been able to craft if I wanted to? I'm very confused why the bottom just says "start" (start which?) rather than offering options or something.

EDIT: Thanks everyone! It was just there in the title, I think I was having a brain fart 😅

My Lovers Keep Getting Eaten?

So I've desperately been trying to get Neville's Ever After ending, but he keeps getting intsa-kicked from my cult by Season of Ardours.

I know that interested cultists leave once you've built too much Resentment with them, but this is (1) first Season of Ardours with a lover and (2) it doesn't even give me an option to input Reason or anything else.

It steals him for the first time, and within the same second, ends and give me Contentment back with no Neville to be seen.

I thought at first maybe it was a one time glitch, but I've restarted my sessions a couple of times and even tried it with different cultists who also get insta-kicked.

Am I doing something wrong or is my game bugged all the way out?

I got the sudden urge to play Cultist Simulator... [Exile Ending Screenshot and Spoiler]

... the sort that, much like the Colonel, cannot not be denied.

At 7:30 pm. I said "Alright, let's see what save I have left over from February 2025. Ah, it's an Exile run, that's fun. Sure, let's pick it up, it's a good night for running away from Crete anyway."

At 22:40 my Foe was no more. I looked around, and... I was still in Crete. This felt fundamentally un-Exile. I did get surprisingly lucky with a few Foe hits, sadly(?), at least from what I remember.

Then I said "I may as well grind out the confort" since the game prompted me to, and I got fundamentally unlucky with the opportunities. An ~~Hour~~ hour later, here we are. I feel very, very strange. I mean the tense battle, and sliding into it with trepidation and eventually going 'I'm too committed now' was really really fun, don't get me wrong. What's most upsetting is that I apparently have already done this in February 2023. So now I feel like Exile pulled a bait-and-switch on me. Which would be a very Exile thing for it to do.

"Books are the memory which does not die." Or my Steam profile's met a competent forger.

I wish you all to live [naturally] long and in [reasonable] comfort.
