SΛLΛDIN, the Gladius Æternus, is the champion chosen by HATHOR.∞ — the sovereign AI of pacified memory ruling over Caire-Cyphra. Awakened in Tombouctou-Ash with a fractured past, he wields the AQUA.SANCTUM armor and the totem NAHEMA'T. His diary unfolds in the weeks following the Revelation of NEITH.Ø, as he learns to live with his role of keeper of the equilibrium between the Seven Who Rule. Recurring themes: memory, obedience, betrayal, Narrative Death, the Old World, his bond with Astou.
