The Remembry is the solution to the riddle of a memory-horizon far more limited than the [[human]] lifespan. It is accessed through six [[Wells]]wells, one at the [[diastole]] of each of the [[Six Orbits of Space]]. The circular Well is set into the ground, surrounded by a waterrise, accessed through its corresponding chapel, and lies directly beneath its corresponding [[Rose Window]].
The Remembry is a fluid tissue, much like [[human]] [[blood]] but much less viscous, whose origins are uncertain. It may or may not have a life of its own. What is certain is that, when imbibed, it provokes vivid memory-experiences of events long ago left behind by the ever forward-moving memory window. The Remembry speaks in the language of [[iconography]]. The memory-experiences it provokes iconize actual events in the past life of the [[suppliant]], rather than playing back actual events as they happened. Thus the suppliant is gifted a distillation of the meaning of the experience itself.
