a curse

the ancients. azem in particular

mysterious figures who echo into the present of the story

where versions of them - in azem's case, you - exist in the present

and you only learn about the originals, and their influence on the story, once you're already deep in

then you finally get to meet them, and find a peculiar mix of both the characters you recognize and ways that they differ dramatically from your expectations

with the connections between their past and your present being distorted by vast gulfs of time
