What the fuck is the Sun?

THE SUN

Officially, there are no sun cults on the great sea. The sun is not a god, certainly. It must be something, though.

Roll until sufficiently weird (d10)

1. It is the Spouse of one of the three goddesses, or maybe all of them.
2. It is the last Couatl Egg, and when it hatches it will bring peace to the world (or destroy it).
3. It's the Fifth Tower.
4. It's the invention of a wizard (whether invention means lie or creation is up for interpretation).
5. It travels deep into the earth every day.
6. It is the eternal battle of two archons of the earth.
7. It is the embodiment of the concept of truth.
8. It's what happens if you break one hundred oaths at once.
9. It's a ball of fusing hydrogen. What's hydrogen? Nobody knows, but it's in the Sun.
10. It's a god.

Excerpts from The Five Towers Codex*, as compiled by Sophos the Stylite

One of my players, I think. He probably read this book.

1. "Between the three souls of body and the four souls of spirit lies a sinew of considerable strength. This being the appendage which death, with sickle or sword, cuts. By gode or evil, this sinew may be made strong to refuse release even as the body decayes. As the bodey, the sinew must be fattened to keep strength, but the gall of bodey cannot flow. Thys being the reason few of gode faith live in rot, while many of evil eat men and souls."
2. A Symbol of Rite is known, which may lock the towers to the spirit. On [missing]... living man, this may lock the fifth tower. It is said that it is made out of herbs and gild when paint'd on the man or corpse.
3. Men claime two of towers are truly oubillets, but men have not seen the [missing]... truly towers which reach to helle. Of the fifth some say it spans sidelong, while others say it goes heartwise.
4. On the fourth floor of the fourth tower [missing]... great trysure and witchery.
5. Of gostly and bone frights, little thought is to be given. Many weak souls can not bring forth a bodey. They are of nature as shep or rams, much the same as the least being of elyments. They remain as souls who are weak to climb.

*It should be understood that The Five Towers Codex is not the Gaian holy text The Five Towers, but rather a commentary on it studied mostly by wizards, poets, and weird priests. The Five Towers simply details burial rites and prayers, and surprisingly says little of it's titular towers. The most it says goes along the lines of Take five keys and enter five towers, or lay here longer as long as the sun shines (When a copy of the text is found, I shall add this line in the original high gaian). It is generally accepted that two towers go to heaven, and two go to hell. Great theological debate surrounds the fifth tower, along with its destination.

All magicians are logicians

Hyper Incomplete High Concept

All the players are wizards. The setting is modern day. Each wizard has one axiom, of the form All Subject is Predicate or No Subject is Predicate. Subject and Predicate can be anything the player wants. Players can do anything a normal human can. Players can also Conclude and Justify their axioms. Concluding an axiom allows you to enforce the consequences of that axiom. Justifying an axiom allows you to enforce the cause of that axiom. An example: John has the axiom All Cats are Hairless Felines. John, if he encounters a cat (which is, of course, hairless), can Conclude from his axiom that cats would die in the winter of a  temperate location, and thus cannot exist here, at his home on the east coast, during January (the high formal logic version is All cats are Hairless Felines. No Hairless Felines are Winter Winter Adapted Felines. Therefore,  No Cats are Winter Adapted Felines). Alternatively, by expending far more power, John can Justify his axiom, backtracking along a foreign line of logic. Perhaps Cats are Hairless because a Cat (and, by association, all felines) is a kind of octopus (formally: All Octopeople are Hairless. All Cats are Octopeople. Therefore, all Cats are Hairless). How much power is expended whenever you use either ability depends on how many formal logic steps it takes to get to the final result.

Memes? In MY blogposts? Its more likely than you think.

Variations

• Mother Necessity: Wizards only have one part of their axiom (S or P) until they decide to use their axiom, after which it becomes unchangeable. 
• Nobilis Rip-off: No limit on how much axioms can be used.
• Define Subject: Each wizard has the same subject for their axiom. No contradictions.
• Informally: Power expended depends on how long it takes to convince the DM
• Principle Explosion: Wizards can take two axioms. Contradictory axioms are encouraged.
• Modernity: Wizards can use imaginary things as part of their axiom.
• Fuck Plato: All of the above
