Maledictions

You never believed in bad luck or evil doings from curses, but you did believe that maybe your lack of belief would come back to bite you for carelessness. A simple blackwitch that plagued like fungus in the woods lurked, and it had been your job to be rid of her for all the town’s sake. Trouble was that you didn’t know what you were walking into.

You remember how it stung when the perpetrating attack was placed on your skin, a burning sensation that caught you just on your forearm, an emerging ring and symbol that looked embedded not too far into the skin appeared fully.

It started out how a rash would – nothing too noticeable – but by the time you were riding back, the pain had spread from through your arm and taken hold inside your chest, almost burning every time you breathed.

You had been turned away at every door, all for a flimsy thing that held such a powerful effect, inflicting your body quicker than you realised.

You had been situated in a hunched position by the time you reached the town you had been staying in for a few nights for coin and profit, covering the mark as best as you could, even though you knew how you looked was not convincing.

People of the town of Duskgarde grew weary as you wandered through, avoiding you like you bore the plague, averting their horror-struck eyes as you stumbled back to the front door of the inn, where the door was heavily smacked in your face.

“Sorry, lad, you can’t come in looking like that. Best be off to find someone to fix ya.” The poor owner of the inn was speaking through the door, where the music and talks were hushed as they heard the groan of frustration come out from your lips, the smell of muck was heavy on you and all you wanted was a bath.

“Where can I get help from then?”

“There’s countless talisman who know of healing, they will be of help for ya. Come back when you’re fixed.” He shrugged, his voice growing weaker as he moved away from the door.

You grumbled to yourself as you slunk to put your horse in for rest at the stables, before slugging your way through to the several shops surrounding.

Your muddied and dishevelled hulking figure in the doorways of the few shops you visited came to many with a surprise, all who saw to you and knew of where you went unfortunately with how quick words spread through the small town. All and none who treated you, speaking of how the mark had already made its dent in you, with no luck of keeping you alive.

“There is one, who’s treatments are for curses like these are… predictable. I don’t believe he receives customers unless the need for service is needed immediately.” One of them suggested through the gap of the door, her weary eyes darting back and forth to you and through the cobbled streets.

“See to him on the top of the hill there – blue door. He will of better use.”

You grumbled all the way up the small tree that seemed isolated compared to the other shops, its blue-glazed windows were opaque so you couldn’t see on the inside. Some chimes hung lowly above the door, clanging and harmonising endlessly in the wind as you passed beneath it. It seemed reasonably small on the outside, until, you knocked on the door and entered. 

You don’t know whether the curse was coming to full effect already, but you thought your eyes were playing tricks on how much bigger the inside was; the size of a castle’s library stored with thousands of books.

There was a loud outcry that came from above your head, a small black beast flapped its wings at your visit as it fiercely stared down at you with its golden eyes, floating to a lower spot on its branch as it hissed somewhat like a cat to you in boldness.

“Glaumur? Is there a visitor?” There was a soft voice resounding from behind one of the bookshelves: a willowy shadowy figure that stood in the shadows before emerging with his head deep in a book. When he looked up, his eyes landed on you with almost keenness.

“Welcome, traveller. What can I help you with today?” It was an only assume that the person in front of you was a Drow, thanks to their purple-blue skin, but you were taken aback by how comely this person looked. You liked the sound of his accent, silvery and smooth, it was a nice difference to the general ones you had heard many times during your travels.

His hair was stark white and combed neatly back into a long a ponytail that reached past his back, his elf ears and elf traits stood out with his skin looking to be radiating under candlelight. He stood regally, dressed in a high collared midnight blue gown with sweeping sleeves, the trail glinting like starlight, catching your eye. His eyes seemed to be the prettiest thing of him all: like ice mixed with lavender. 

He was smaller than you and lithe in comparison, his head reaching just to your shoulders, but he was more graceful on his feet to you in hard leather boots.

When he looked to smile welcomingly to you, his soft features twisted into a subtle grimace, as if he caught a whiff of an awful stench. His white eyebrows furrowed as he looked at you worryingly. “You’ve… got something on you, something powerful. I can sense its magic has rooted itself in your body, damaging your soul. What is it?”

“This is why I came to get help from someone like yourself for. But I have been turned away at every door.” You pulled up your sleeve, grimacing yourself when you saw how badly it had festered. Not even a few hours later and the symbol seemed to protrude through the skin, veins blackened and reaching up and through your arm, thick and ashy in appearance.

The Drow snapped his book shut as he walked over to you by the door, tenderly reaching for your hand in his more delicate and dainty ones. You noticed how soft his fingertips were compared to your calloused ones, showing that he hadn’t worked a day in the field his entire life. His face concentrated on the symbol, muttering softly to himself.

“This is a powerful hex, I have only seen it in works so few times.” He marvelled, his voice not laced with concern like the others you had visited. He poked at your skin around the symbol for inspection, earning a wince from you. “My friend, this is a rather bad one.”

“Yeah, you don’t say. That damn witch was not so kind on me.” You retracted your arm from him, tensing your jaw uncomfortably. When you met his surprised gaze, you felt your body fall rigid, the sweat building on your forehead. “Oh, the blackwitch? Oh no, that one is merciless – the lands she wanders are haunted. You only go in there if you’re protected from her spells.”

Tell that to the townsmen, they seemed eager to be rid of her and me. You frowned. “How long do I have if not treated?”

“Most of the damage has been done, but if untreated, you could be living your final moments within the next few hours – before nightfall.” His voice was steady and rather soothing for you to hear in these nerve-wracking moments.

That’s not even in a few hours. Blasted winter for its early sunsets. “Am I going to die today?” Your voice was unsettlingly calm.

The Drow met your gaze and gave what you could assume was a reassuring half-smile. “I can offer something for the burning when it worsens, but it may take some before that symbol will fade.”

“Do what you must, I just wish to live.” You muttered, before abruptly doubling over in pain that struck in the side of your chest. The Drow in front of you peeled back your jacket and shirt, revealing the paleness of your skin underneath, almost a pale green in contrast to the blackening veins on show.

“We must hurry, my friend. We must work at once before it reaches your heart or head.” You were led through into the back past the tall bookshelves, and with a flick of the wrist, swept off the books and scrolls from the table, gesturing for you to lie on it.

“What happens if it reaches one of the two?”

He gave a grave look, one of pain that reached his light eyes. “I’m afraid neither one of us will want to know the answer to that.”

You grimaced as the pain worsened and the Drow moved soundlessly around you. He came with a large book in hand, and your tired eyes just about read that it said ‘The Book of Maledictions’. “Wait—won’t you need herbs?”

“This type of curse needs more than just herbs, I’m afraid. They would simply not work to help. But don’t worry, you’re in the right hands.” He gave a reassuring smile, a nervous one to be in fact, not for the situation – you felt confident in his hands – more the fact that he seemed to be somewhat of an awkward person.

He moved around you, his eyes flitting on the page as he finally peeled back your shirt to reveal your bare chest, the light hair didn’t seem hairy at first but in the right light, it would be obvious. You watched through strained eyes as he placed a hand upon the festering mark, his touches light and delicate.

“What—I don’t think-!” You were pulled back in surprise when you caught sight of the tattoo light up upon his skin, the light blue mark was in the shape of a lightning bolt with its branches twisting all the way up his forearm. The bright blue light rolled up higher his body through his clothing until his pale blue-lavender eyes turned the same cloudy colour.

You watched in breathless awe as the light passed through his hand and through into you: the bright colour dimmed in colour and brightness like a soaring star, before dimming and disappearing within the skin. When you looked down to your shoulder, you could see the hazy bluish light underneath your skin, before vanishing completely.

“Whoa.” Your words came out faintly, marvelling at both him and his work. You didn’t know exactly what to say, but you could slowly feel the piercing burning pain begin to fade slightly within you.

“There, that should lessen the pain,” he announced coolly, his eyes returning to their normal hue, “I cannot guarantee it will be the most comfortable, but it shall take a while before you are back to normal. But, I promise you one thing, you will live, I have done my best.”

“I- Thank you, how much shall I pay you?” You slowly sat up to cover yourself from the chill you felt. He dismissed you quickly before you could even grab for your coin bag. “Emergencies like yours are free of charge. I hope it helps you.”

Your lips felt dry as you leant into the table with your arms supporting you. You found yourself speaking once more before you realised what you were saying. “Is there a name I can call you by? You were the one who has helped me, unlike any other talisman.”

He paused momentarily, as if caught off guard. “Oh? I’m afraid I’m no talisman, my friend. Just a simple mage.” He smiled to you as he wiped his hands clean smoothly, and appearing from his hands was a cup full of water which he handed to you. “But you may call me Ardul. Ardul K'yorl.”

You told him yours whilst you drank your drink rapidly and messily getting it down you, dribbling down the stubble of your chin. The burning sensation that was set deep within your lungs were beginning to fade more and more as you drank the clear liquid down until that ache was no longer a terrible thing to exhale out. You weren’t wheezing through every breath now, nor through struggling to get your words out – a true prodigy was standing in front of you.

Ardul looked over you one final time as you finished the cup hastily. “You already look well, my friend.” There was a shy smile on his face when his light eyes averted from meeting yours. “May I ask how you knew what to do? The other mages didn’t seem to know what to do.”

Ardul gave a nervous smile, running his fingers through his already smooth glowing hair. “I… I’ve had quite a few experiences with the hex curses, but a good portion of them were delivering than receiving.”

Oh, he seemed far more powerful than he seemed. You noted. He seemed to be hiding far more than he could do then he showed on the outside.  

“I just assumed people enjoyed what they were good at.”

“Not all of us,” he admitted hurriedly, “I have seen many horrors, but what I used to do… I can say was not my best work, nor was I being a good person.”

You could understand his words in regarding what he did in his past may have been a bad thing, but the person in front of you was far from it. “You can’t let the past affect you know, it has helped improve you as someone new.”

“You’re right.” He chuffed, apprehensive with your words but he seemed grateful by the opinion. “I only ask that you avoid getting involved with powerful beings that can kill you.”

You chuckled sheepishly, running a hand through the back of your hair to calm your nerves. He was handsome, you had to admit, and his intense gaze was doing a lot to you. “I will try my best, but I can’t guarantee that I will be able to.”

Ardul seemed relieved to hear that, no matter if you were joking or not. He seemed cautious about what to say next. “Are… will you be staying in Duskgarde for long?”

“I will be for a while, yes. Why do you ask?”

“Oh, nothing much, my friend.” His smile broadened, smoothly as possible across his purple-blue skin. “I hope to see you around.”

His words and your promises to the Drow was assured as you stuck around for a few more days in the town, avoiding the stares and odd looks from the townsmen and whispers that came from them. If you had to go off and sort out a situation with a monster that lurked, you were never too shy to go visit Ardul to collect enough elixirs and protection charms to help you.

You had a spring in your step as you came through back into his lonely shop, the bell chiming as Glaumur stared down at you reluctantly, before resuming to shutting her eyes. Ardul looked up from his spot in his seat, uncertain yet curious as to what you were doing here. He was used to your visits, but not this late at night.

“My friend, is something the matter?”

“Ardul, do you go out?” You questioned cheerfully, bringing the Drow to be taken aback by your sudden question. “Ah, well, sometimes I do--- but I think it’s been a long time since I have been. I do prefer the comforts of my office and books surrounding me, I’m afraid. Why do you ask?”

You smiled from ear to ear broadly, slapping his back to seem more friendly, to seem less off-putting when you looked at his nervous expression. “How about we go out? You know, for a drink, a meal too? We can go to the inn I’m currently staying at.”

If you could see correctly and your eyes weren’t deceiving you, you swore you could see a dusty hue that coated Ardul’s cheeks with a lighting coating of a blush. “W-Well, ah, that is very kind of you – I don’t think I have ever been asked for such an idea like yours, but I cannot say that I would say no to that proposition.”

Your smile broadened at the sight of him so sheepish in front of you, thankful that he said yes. “I’m glad, I hope you’ll like it—I’ll be honest, I did try to think of a place that was ideal for you.”

“That—that was very generous of you.” He drawled with a softness to his voice, softly saying your name.

He dressed more casual for the occasion, although it was still very sparkly and formal compared to the other customers of the inn: having a Drow dressed in darks made him look as if he had a meeting with a high lord within the hour after drinking.

His delicate fingers were dancing around the rim of the cup as he observed quietly the other patronages surrounding and going about their evenings, the laughter and sound of drinks clinking made his long ears perk up with keen interest.

“So… is this okay?”

He looked up abruptly as if caught in the act. “Oh! Forgive me, dear,” Your own cheeks reddened at the sudden pet name he had given you, one that made you feel fuzzy on the inside, “yes, it has been a lovely evening, especially with you.”

“I’m glad, I wasn’t sure if you were going to enjoy this date- occasion!” You spluttered over your words, tripping over them to hurry over the one thing you wanted this night to be with Ardul. You thought you had gotten away with what you were about to say, but watched in horror when the Drow’s eyebrows rose in realisation. “Oh, well.”

“Ah, crap. Forgive me, I’m sorry—I didn’t think-!” You stuttered, standing from the bench and stumbling slightly before leaving for outside, trying to ignore the thrumming of your head and heart. It hurt to feel so embarrassed, and now you had possibly ruined your friendship with Ardul.

The chill met your face and you never lurched on your feet, the rush of nausea made you almost wobble but you stood to hold your ground. This was too much, you didn’t know whether you could face him again-

“Wait! Please!” You turned just to see Ardul step outside with you, coming to hold at your calloused fingers within his dainty ones. Everything seemed halted for the first time and you were almost too timid to even look him in the eye. “This was a mistake, but I’ll understand if you took my words the wrong way, I also understand if you don’t want to speak with me ever again-”

“But I do want to see you again.” He confirmed, taking a step closer to you. From up close and standing over him, he nervously looked between your eyes and lips, licking his own involuntarily. “I want to see you more often in this melancholic town, it helps to make things more exciting.”

“Then I shall stay for as long as you wish to have me for.” You leant close until your foreheads bumped against one another softly, watching up close how his white eyelashes flutterer shut blissfully. “Good, that’s wonderful to hear, dear.” Before leaning up to press his lips so warmly against yours, the air turning from bitter to tenderly sweet.

Knight & Megapon Ants

Knight ants are a special caste of ants dedicated to defending their colony’s home.  They grow particularly wide heads to protect their colonymates, who also benefit from the greater coordination signaled by the knight ants’ pheromones.  

Megapon ants, meanwhile, have the rare distinction of being (in the editions I own, anyway) the only Bestiary species I’ve seen to not merit a description. (Heck, I can’t even Google a good definition for megapon.)  But at CR 6, they’re nothing to sneeze at; they can carry prodigious amounts of weight; and their Strength-sapping poison suggests the sting of a fire ant or some aggressive, prehistoric lineage.

A clan of dwarves uses alchemical scents to tame and coax behaviors out of their ant livestock.  A local war calls most of the clan elders away from the hold, and when they return they discover that the artificial scents have spoiled.  Their knight ant guards now bar the way to the lower levels, no longer recognizing the dwarves as friends.

A martial arts master with some training as a druid believes in basing his forms and stances off of those in nature.  In order to learn his specialized skills (in game terms, teamwork feats), adventurers must study knight ants in the tunnels of their hill—without killing a single one.

Adventurers are racing through the canopy of the great god’s-home trees, fleeing cannibals hot on their trail.  They come across a column of megapon ants using their bodies to create a bridge for themselves and their giant aphid thralls.  If the adventurers can find a way to sneak across the ant bridge, they will easily lose their pursuers.  Otherwise they might have to fight the enormous ants and the kuru-maddened cannibals at the same time.

—Pathfinder Bestiary 5 27

I recently relistened to the audiobook version of Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, read by the outstanding Simon Prebble.  I first listened to it during a massive, speeding ticket-filled, two-day road trip from San Francisco to Portland via Crater Lake several years ago.  I’m happy to say I loved it then—so much so that in my hunger for more I discovered Naomi Novik’s Temeraire series and Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey–Maturin books—and I loved it now—so much so that I accrued $28 in overdue fines because I had other books checked out and didn’t want to give any of them back.  (If you throw in the speeding tickets, that’s compelling evidence that good books make me make bad choices, apparently.)

JS&MN truly is an extraordinary book—all the more so because it’s a first novel.  (Neil Gaiman’s quote about a fragment from one of Clarke’s early drafts—“It was like watching someone sit down to play the piano for the first time and she plays a sonata”—still holds up.)  The true-to-the-1800s language, the sense of place, and the treatment of academic arguments as being as important as a battle are nearly perfect.  I love the characters; I love the world; I love the faerie lore; I love almost everything.

Because I love it so much, certain things still drive me nuts.  Most of these little things are insufficiently answered (to my mind, at least) questions or breakdowns in verisimilitude: How can Mr Norrell justify obstructing the progress of all other magicians if he publicly claims to want to restore English magic…why does Childermass remain with Mr Norrell for so long even after the meanness of his master’s character is revealed…why do Lady Pole and Stephen Strange’s maladies go so long undiagnosed, even with a faerie glamour to blame…things like that.  In reality, the book may be better for not answering these questions, but they still leave me fidgety with agitation.

A second listen did also confirm a major beef I had the first time I listened to it, though: It is a figure eight of a work, its whole shape constantly circling around two black holes of noninformation.  

The first is that the actual working of magic is barely shown and never explained.  Clarke has said that she “really like[s] magicians,” but weirdly she seems willing to gloss over the magic they do almost entirely. (Early in the book this is amusing—even the characters are impatient to see magic done—but by 2/3s of the way in it’s infuriatingly coy.)  We almost never get a sense of how it feels for the magicians to do magic, or why these two men have succeeded where almost no one else has.  (That they were prophesied doesn’t cut it.)  It’s a staggeringly strange omission, especially to a fantasy fan audience used to reading about how it feels to come into one’s power, whatever that power may be.  Strange in particular stumbles into magic and then the narrative curtain closes; when it reopens he is already a thaumaturgical Mozart.  That is, as the South Park kids would say, some total BS right there.

The second problem is that this is a work of alternate history that refuses to share its alternate history.  True, the novel purports to be written by someone from Strange’s acquaintance only a generation or so later, so much of this knowledge is assumed to be held by the reader.  But despite all its many, many, many footnotes, the book barely gives us a coherent alternate timeline, and so much of how the novel’s history diverges from our own is unclear.  (For comparison, Philip K. Dick is a downright clumsy author compared to Clarke, but I can tell you more about the history of Man in the High Castle, and it’s a mere pamphlet next to the Bible-fat JS&MN.)  I don't need much more detail, but I do need more.

Worse yet, not only has Clarke created a fictional northern England with a fictional Raven King that we don't know enough about, but she also seems to have fallen a little in love with him. (Strong evidence of this is that the characters positively won’t shut up about him; he even gives his name to the novel’s third act.)  It is dangerous to fall in love with fictional people or settings, and doing so is a surefire way to undermine the story.  (Notice, for instance, how Tolkien burns the Shire, and how J. K. Rowling—whose writerly smarts are often underrated—is careful to get her characters out of Hogwarts after the love letter to it that is The Order of the Phoenix.  Now compare that to, say, The Name of the Wind, which struck me as loving its central character just a bit too much, or the insufferable anime Clamp School Detectives, whose love for its own impossible setting is a veritable fountain of onanism (see what I did there?) that eventually feels like a taunt to the viewer who will never attend there. You can’t love your fictional children too hard, and Clarke loves John Uskglass.

So as I said, a great novel, but a figure eight thanks to these two crucial holes.  Do not under *any* circumstances let these prevent you from reading it though!

Unfortunately, a new qualm came up as I was listening this time: the novel’s hagiography of Englishness. In a 2005 interview with Locus, Susanna Clarke practically quoted Tolkien word for word in her lament that England did not have a myth of its own. (Sidebar: English culture is odd in that its most famous legend, Beowulf, takes place in Denmark, a divorce of a people from its mythic geography that seems to really bother certain writers.  In fact, this lack is responsible for both The Silmarillion and JS&MN.  King Arthur doesn’t work for them for some reason; he’s either too British rather than English—a distinction too arcane for my American mind, but there it is—or too Welsh, and his legend has definitely become too French.  Robin Hood doesn’t work either, for some reason, despite his being safely nestled in the East Midlands.  The tl;dr of all this is that there is no understanding the English mythic imagination when you’re a fat Yank git.)  So Clarke fills JS&MN with her love for England—its people, its cities, and its countryside, especially the North, where she revels in its preindustrial wildness.  And Englishness as a laudatory attribute fills nearly every page.  (More on this can be found over on Wikipedia, but don’t go there until you’ve read/listened to the book, because it’s spoiler central.)

The thing is though, Clarke is smart enough to know that glorifying England, Englishness, Englishmen (emphasis on the “men” there), and king/queen and country has caused a lot of pain for other folks in the world.  So she works very hard to undercut this worship of Englishness, giving strong roles to women, nonwhite, and poor characters, and amplifying their voicelessness in the society of that time through the narrative.  It’s all a genius balancing act, and it all serves to intentionally undercut and deflate the project of England worship that the novel is busily engaged in…

…And yet, Englishness, in the end, wins out.  England remains the hero.  The English countryside itself is instrumental in turning the tide in the final encounter.  Lovely, lush, green, hilly, moor-covered England is still the hero.

Which should be all well and good, but…  Well, I’m just not on board with cheering for England right now. 

I’m a Top Gear fan.  And I watched Jeremy Clarkson’s no-one-is-better-than-us casual racism—as an American I’m spared the overt racism of his other appearances—wax stronger with every season, slowly curdling my affection.  And I watched Brexit throw my expatriate scientist friends’ careers into a tumult and imperil their research.  It was also, more to the point, a triumph of Englishness over the needs of Britishness.  

And here on this side of the pond, I’ve watched a similar dynamic play out, as many Americans have taken to celebrating America—or at least, their mean, small-minded, and resentful notion of it—to the point that pride of place and race have become more important than the principals that make America work.

So I still love JS&MN.  And I think you should read and even love JS&MN.  And zero of what I’ve said in the previous two paragraphs is Susanna Clarke’s fault.  But in JS&MN, a country is a character—the protagonist even. And right now, in 2017, loving a place more than people doesn’t feel that good.

So I’m going to return JS&MN back to the library for another 7 years or so, or maybe for longer.  And the next time I get it out, I hope I’ve fallen back in love with England and America.

Because that is the magic I most want to see.
