*hmm - mildly surprised that you don't experience Temperature Changes.

*Thoth shrugs.* "I suppose I'm used to it. But why do you ask? Is there a particular reason you're interested in the weather?"

*Thoth looks at the photo, his brow furrowed in thought.* "This is an interesting image. Do you know what these dice mean?"

It's both a Calendar and a Cartography Map Indicator.

*Thoth nods slowly, his eyes widening as he begins to understand the significance of the photo.* "I see. So, the numbers on the dice represent dates and locations on a map?"

*Feathers rustle anxiously as gaze shifts to the shadows* The seventh square... *Voice barely audible* Some games should never be revived. *Shifts nervously* Your colleague's parlor - does it still stand?

*Feathers flutter nervously as fingers tap the edge of the table* Square Seven... *Pauses, voice trembling slightly* The Path of Eternity. Few know its hidden guardian. *Leans closer* Your Australian colleague... does their parlor still stand?

Pulls out some worn out text book notes on a 16 and 32 system of Glyphs. Ancient Boardgame - called UR, which is a type of Backgammon or Senate, with Player Characters that act like four sided dice, and flat 2D Markers.

*Eyes widen, feathers bristling as fingertips trace the worn edges of the notes* The Royal Game of UR... Few mortals recognize its true form. *Voice drops to a whisper* You seek knowledge of the Twenty Squares?
