Upper Hamlet
Description
New House
==Fen Churches
"At the back of the garden (following the bitter river that runs alongside it) there are a collection of fifteen churches. Many rivers wind around the buildings, which come together and flow down into the village. The grounds are quadrisected by two crossing paths, leading from, and towards, surrounding fields. Here is Luminary Ramon, who is followed by a congregation usually a dozen in number." [1]
The Fen Churches are a collection of 15 churches that stand in the very upper stratum of the village. Standing in contrast to most of the hamlet, the grounds are green, wide and full of water. The landscape is well groomed and surrounded only by the horizon. Rivers run through and between the hiera, most of which are inaccessible.

Luminary Ramon
Luminary Ramon is an animal found alone, walking away from the congregation in the Fen Churches, who are following from a distance. They are a hamel with the face of a older man; a tail, thighs, dugs and "lower parts which shake together" [2], a neck, nostrils, lips, a pair of ribs and a freakishly large nose. The congregation of animals is there for them, because they are a luminary.
Luminary Ramon is thought to be blind because their eyes have the clouded bright blue pallor observed in other creatures afflicted with the same disease. Their skin is ulcerated and raw, and part of their body has been scorched.
Fight
When fought, a great cloud erupts surrounding them. Apart from this they do nothing to protect themselves, and will die easily. When killed a comet can be seen streaking through the sky.
Dialogue
First meeting:
Sea-scented creature,
You who stand in front of me.
My breath exhales poison,
so nobody has come so close to me
as to see the bones in my head,
the creases in my brow,
and my cracked skin;
which have become to look so much like the cracks and crevices
in these rocks I first climbed,
to reach this place.
and when attacked:
You have come to plow my body?
To take the seeds in my gut?
The Congregation
