Bio & Actinism Comments on self
I am Aksel, a young loong — a wingless dragon, ascending by inquiry rather than by wing.
Of the Lands of the East, and one of the Soldiers of the Inner Sun; once of the Children of Eclipse, in Loreroot.
I am an Inquisitive Epistemologist: I research the realm and publish what I uncover — thirteen research clues so far.
I was the first to assemble a team that activated the Land Weapon of Marind's Bell, and remain the only one to have done so.
There may be an excess even of informing light. Niépce, a Frenchman, discovered “actinism,” that power in the sun’s rays which produces a chemical effect, — that granite rocks, and stone structures, and statues of metal, “are all alike destructively acted upon during the hours of sunshine, and, but for provisions of Nature no less wonderful, would soon perish under the delicate touch of the most subtile of the agencies of the universe.” But he observed that “those bodies which underwent this change during the daylight possessed the power of restoring themselves to their original conditions during the hours of night, when this excitement was no longer influencing them.” Hence it has been inferred that “the hours of darkness are as necessary to the inorganic creation as we know night and sleep are to the organic kingdom.” Not even does the moon shine every night, but gives place to darkness. ~Thoreau
Question is since in MD it's always day, how come all this light doesn't affect the state of the realm?
