Project Update: Misery Monday X | The Suit of Rust begins
Welcome my friends in Misery to the look at the Suit of Rust!
Yes, we are on the titular suits now. We're very close to the end. Ironically, Blood and Rust are... the other way around for actual order. But Rust and Blood doesn't sound as good to me. Sue me for my lack of cohesion!
- ⬛ The House
- The House of Rust is The Temple Factory, the ornate, but old and decrepit, rusted out shell of the manufacturing of our tradition. Spilling into the suit of Rust is returning to the world you left in your absence of sorrow, and seeing it is a worn out space. This is reconstruction and working through what you have experienced. You must see the rusted world around you and find your own path here.
- 0 The Folly
- In the House of Rust, our 0 is The Faithful. It can be easy to return to your life and get back on your knees in a row, falling back into line with how life was before. To try to just "return to normal". But reconstruction here must mean to grow past what set you up for the fall the first time. You cannot simple become one of the Faithful at the altar of rusted tradition. You must find your new path forward. We also see here an important theme in this suit, the chained collars on the faithful. Note that the chains always lead off into the dark, to nowhere.
- 1 The Portal
- In the House of Rust, our 1 is The Failed Gate. The path ahead has been barred for as long as we've known. But now we can see it is not so. The old gate, perhaps once bolder and stronger, has fallen to pieces. Where you were once barred from going, you simply may push through. It may take a little effort, but do not be afraid to go out on the path yourself. That is where you are now in life.
- 2 The Nemesis
- In the House of Rust, our 2 is The Wretch. This being has locked you in a cell of their expectations. They dangle your freedom at their whim, saying you must fall in line with how things have always worked, because that's how they had to live, and they won't let you live in a better truth than they have. Suffer as they did! But look closely and you'll see the bars of your cage, and the keys, are rusted away. They don't have the keys to your freedom, and never did. Just push the door open.
- 3 The Wound
- In the House of Rust, our 3 is The Rusted Bones. Seeing what has happened to our home, our structure, foundations in our absence is hard to see. This is the ruin of where you once resided. It may have looked like this for some time to everyone else, but you couldn't see it until now. Looking on it will hurt, but see it for what it is. Fixable.
- 4 The Harmonic
- In the House of Rust, our 4 is The Honest Hands. The foundation of rebuilding is remaking what you have lost. It won't be the exact same, but be open to accept help in this process. Rebuild your home where it once stood-- clean up, pick up, rebuild. It's worth it, you will find your foundations to push further for the rest of your life from here.
What are you the most excited to see after that? The cloth? Guidebook cover? Oracle Dice full reveal? We'll see!
