musical instrument. I opened my eyes and the grove was back in all its
colorful glory.The strange image of the man was left in my memory only.
Later in the day I felt quite sick and was put off eating the mushrooms
again, but I found the experience further supported one solution to the
problem of consciousness for Tier 2. It may be our brains our conduits and if
so, our will may also be present externally, not created by our brains.
Possibly Tier 1 individuals may not have this conduit, although I doubt they
have free will either and perhaps they are part of the giant clockwork of
Thera.

Chapter 7 - The Multiverse
I have begun learning in the necromancer guild because of my interest in
experimentation with corpses and the mysteries of life and death.
Unfortunately I have missed out the opportunity to learn about the planes of
existence which is taught by another guild. So I am no expert on this
topic. From what I have gathered we live in the prime plane. Other planes
exists, elemental planes close to our plane and light and dark planes further
away. The gods presumably inhabit other planes as well. So far I not have
learnt anything to help my studies specifically. Life from all these planes
are widely known to visit the prime plane. There does not seem to be any
indication that the source of our consciousness or our will comes from these
planes.Generally there is more intelligence in the prime plane when
thinking of elementals or demons. Even the gods themselves have been
described to be similar to us, but with much greater powers. Perhaps there
is another plane sits further out and could be in control of all the inner
planes, if so does that mean there are gods that control gods?

Chapter 8 - Imperial Imperative
The Tier 2 lifeforms have the chance to break free and work out the truth of
our reality, unless I am wrong, I may be. But currently we fight amongst
ourselves, are selfish and some with chaotic pursuits. It seems rational to
allow the Empire to control Thera and bring order. Only though an ordered
civilization can we study what is real, to determine if we live in the base
reality or if we do not and if not, what is it. I shall help the Empire, as
a scholar leader in this field, I will demonstrably benefit from the
increased resources, freedom and peace to acquire new knowledge. Though I
must caveat my choice to join the empire, could also be controlled by a will
not of my own or possibly will itself is simply illusionary and I am lead to
this path by past experiences I and my family have had with the empire thus
far. I don't know if I am a victim or a leader.
