The Hall of Remembrance was not a building. It was a mountain that had been made into a memory.
Solvren was waiting inside.
The Keeper of Records stood at the central dais of the first gallery — azure eyes bright, blue-silver hair tied back today instead of loose, ink-stained fingers wrapped around a stylus he'd forgotten he was holding. Three more styluses bristled behind his left ear. He'd been here since before dawn. Possibly since before the oath ceremony. Scholars and their priorities.
The first gallery alone could have housed a small city. The ceiling vanished into darkness above. The walls were lined with clan alcoves, each containing crystal pillars arranged in concentric circles — thousands of pillars per alcove, each pillar housing a single crystal, each crystal containing the deposited memories and essence of a demon who'd lived and been recorded.
