🍄 happy new year ✨ may the ritual nourish you

Screenshot of dialog with Barathrum the Old from Caves of Qud:

*Barathrum breathes a deep and relieved sigh.*

You are ever a courier of bright tidings, =name=. I am fond of this fact.

Categories and types are decohering in these historic times. Nonetheless, the ritual nourishes us. You are raised to Meyvn, Nyshum. The one who understands.
