It was developed in antiquity by the niravairi Level Key (see new monsters), rivals to the rudishva and noted planar explorers. They located a permanent portal in the Astral plane that SL1-1: Secret Door and Archontean Entrance led to a site here, within Arden Vul (SL1-11). Discovering strange Corridor crystals and new life forms (lumens - see new monsters), they built A secret door in the Well of Light (AV-14, 2-1) leads to a 10’- a small research facility to study the optical phenomena (and added long, roughly hewn rock corridor that opens into a darkened, a few other portals as well). When the Beacon crashed here, the hemispherical chamber (SL1-2). The secret door is located on rudishva discovered signs of their rivals’ activity and, for a while, the shaft of the Well at a point 110’ below the surface. The short occupied the site in the hope that it could aid in their propulsion corridor was dug by the Archonteans who were constructing the dilemma. Eventually the dangers posed by the lumens, as well as Well of Light when they detected worked areas to the south. the drain on resources, caused the rudishva leadership to pull back (although one scientist refused to leave - see SL1-8). Centuries Secret Door (south): The secret door is difficult to find (1 in 8 later, while improving a light well so as to transform it into the Well chance), and difficult to open. It requires twisting one of the of Light (2-1), the Archonteans discovered the nearby complex; dozens of convex mirrors near the door 90 degrees. This causes a they hopefully installed a secret door in the Well and hoped that 5’-tall panel of the well shaft to spring inward, revealing a 5’-tall, the area would yield secrets, but after several disasters (see SL1-6), roughly-carved passage to the south. they abandoned further exploration (thus giving the sub-level its current name). The sub-level is comprised of a hexagonal upper Well of Light: The Well is a 200’-long shaft, 5’ in diameter, which chamber designed for the study of lumens and optics, and a lower descends from the surface (AV-14) to emerge at Level 2 (area 2-1). level for storage chambers and the niravairi portals.

Activity 2 Read the extract from page 56-63 about Gawain’s journey to the Green Chapel. Always above and ahead of him flew a flock of geese, pointing the way north, a guiding arrowhead in the sky. It was the route Gawain knew he must follow, that would lead him, sooner or later, to the place he most dreaded on this earth... the Chapel of the Green Knight. Despite the deep bitter winter, Gawain rode on through the wastelands alone, always keeping the flying geese ahead of him and the wild mountains of Wales to his left.

  • Heraldic Terms

    Heraldic Terms

    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

AX Per is an eclipsing symbiotic binary. During active phases, deep narrow minima are observed in its light curve, and the ionization structure in the binary changes significantly. From ∼2007.5, AX Per entered a new active phase. Aims. We aim to derive the ionization structure in the binary and its changes during the recent active phase. Methods. We used optical high- and low-resolution spectroscopy and UBVRCIC photometry. We modeled the SED in the optical and broad wings of the Hα line profile during the 2007–10 higher level of the AX Per activity. Results. After 10 orbital cycles (∼18.6 years), we again measured the eclipse of the hot component by its giant companion in the light curve. We derived a radius of 27 ± 2 R for the eclipsed object and 115 ± 2 R for the eclipsing cool giant.

    The Abundance of Fluorine in Normal G and K Stars of the Galactic Thin

    THE ABUNDANCE OF FLUORINE IN NORMAL G AND K STARS OF THE GALACTIC THIN DISK C. A. Pilachowski1 & Cameron Pace1 Astronomy Department, Indiana University Bloomington, Swain West 319, 727 East Third Street, Bloomington, IN 47405-7105, USA; [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT The abundance of fluorine is determined from the (2-0) R9 2.3358 µm fea- ture of the molecule HF for several dozen normal G and K stars in the Galactic thin disk from spectra obtained with the Phoenix IR spectrometer on the 2.1-m telescope at Kitt Peak. The abundances are analyzed in the context of Galactic chemical evolution to explore the contributions of supernovae and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars to the abundance of fluorine in the thin disk. The av- erage abundance of fluorine in the thin disk is found to be [F/Fe] = +0.23 ± 0.03, and the [F/Fe] ratio is flat or declines slowly with metallicity in the range from –0.6 < [Fe/H] < +0.3, within the limits of our estimated uncertainty. The mea- sured abundance of fluorine and lack of variation with metallicity in Galactic thin disk stars suggest neutrino spallation in Type II supernovae contributes sig- nificantly to the Galactic fluorine abundance, although contributions from AGB stars may also be important.
