"This world is different and yet the same."
Words I spoke to another before I truly found my footing in Allaidh Darach once again, and yet they remain ringing true even now. Over the course of the past month I've seen fit to note down discrepancies from the world we knew and the world that exists now - and for all of our benefits, I will share them. Some are plain to be seen, some are things I discovered by chance, and some were reasoned and then proven.
It is my sincere hope that my listing not be treated as the be-all, end-all truth of the matter, but simply a starting point for others in our number to add the observations they have made and feel confident publicly sharing onto my words. My eyes are not all seeing, my ears not all hearing, and even truths of the world take time to make their way across the seas.
[a pause, and the soft sound of rustling paper as she breathes in before speaking again.]
One. The Uaine Cridhe's power has sent us backwards in time thousands of years, into the year 150 in the Age of Rifts. This is not something that was predicted to occur even with the Gem's forming on the field, and essentially, we are now our own predecessors. The war between Chaos and Order has not yet begun, and so we may freely speak to each other without consequence...yet.
Two. There is another common vision in recent memory - that of an aged man with ink stained hands who spoke to us before we were returned to this land, and said as much as I have said in my first point.
Three. Seelie and Unseelie as courts do not exist. Rather, we have seven courts - the Amethyst Circle, the Jade Society, the Angelite Syndicate, the Amber Congregation, the Garnet Coalition, the Citrine Assembly, and the Diamond Coterie. Four of these, namely Diamond, Amethyst, Garnet, and Angelite, are headed by younger versions of figures we knew as the monarchs of our courts. The remaining three are headed by those of whom there has only been mention in long forgotten texts, if that.
Four. The sisters Morla and Solais use the names Shade and Shine, and both rule independently as leaders of their factions, with a great deal less tension between them than their previous counterparts held.
Five. Mount Verla is alive and well, and casting flames has proven no difficulty. Actually, our world is much grander and greater than we knew it to be, with whole continents to see and new places to learn the names of, and we have been scattered across them in new fashion but no less deliberate than our separations when we first awoke in a world with war's tension.
Six. The Station does not exist. The Void does not exist in knowledge.
Seven. Drawing from the bare minimum of this information, what stands to be reasoned is that we all hold...immense power, not as apparently obvious as a shard's energy coursing through us but no less valuable. In what will come, in the past-as-future, in charting the course of this world so that we might seek to avoid the repetition of what has come before us and set the courts upon a new path forward.
And now I fall silent, and ask for those that might know what I do not to step forward and speak so that we might take advantage of this time where we're not trying to kill each other to exchange useful information. Those that do have my sincere gratitude.

Suppose it was merely the unusual circumstances around you that lent the impression. But Leathann...if one had to pick a place, it's certainly one of the fairest options. Soon to be meant literally as well as figuratively.

[Saber had even believed Solais had stolen her away. It's not unusual to hear so.]
I believe so as well, especially with Gilgamesh at our helm.
