Te Siphon Rite is written upon a thin sheet of elecrum, wrapped around the leg bone of some long-forgotten sovereign from the world before the end. Te words are etched in with a pen made of wyvern’s tooth and ink made of distilled phoenix venom. An ancient oracle caught in a trance wrote it, as images from beyond this sphere traveled through his hand and onto the metallic page. A sacred artifac, it was seen as the key to saving the world at its time of greatest need. It was hidden away, until it could be used to bring peace back to this sphere.
Of course, all those stories are lies. Te Siphon Rite is a trickled-in notion, a tiny embryonic idea meant to blossom into a new form.
Some worlds the Tings From Outside mean to eat. Others...they use to make more of their kind. Te Siphon Rite is an egg, planted into this world for that latter purpose. Along with the press of the Hunger, which the Tings use as a kind of reproducive urge, the Siphon is there to help birth a new Thing.
