The Breach Unseen Myth in Palimpsest | World Anvil

The Breach Unseen (Apocalypse Myth)

"On six occasions has any creature claimed without reprisal that they escaped from the Bridewell of the Eyes and Arms, though It-and-They would not admit it. All six stories share a common theme: opportunistic flight as some omnipresent cataclysm shakes the defences that constrain them down to their foundations. Walls split. Bars become unfixed. Eyes are blinded and arms wither. Fellow prisoners perish in a blaze, and one prisoner awakes in the wreckage, burned and weakened but intact and unwatched. The Eyes and Arms may be anywhere and everywhere, but nowhere else has it been suggested that It-and-They should need to make use of this imminence not to monitor but to retreat. The Bridewell is rebuilt each time, its impregnability republicised, but in truth no defence has been found that will not crumble when the time comes again. It is not coincidence that the three most feared of the Bridewell's cells were grouped at the very bottom, where they may last even if the structure is shaken to its foundations." Bastet of Palimpsest sang the song of the Breach Unseen in a Legend Lore spell compiling the existing myths of the Apocalypse.
