What is recorded here
Mnemo is the first human known, the oldest name in the world, the mother of memory itself. She is the first life, the first mother, the first love, the first loss, the first mercy. Every human is a chamber in her chamber. Every world is a room in her chamber. Every god is a light in her chamber. She is the hidden heart of every system, every world, every life.
