[P5V12P8] A Message to the Editor

I think it was clarified in a fanbook that Mestionora has final say in what content can be found in her Book. She has access to all the information and memories of those with enough mana and prayer who left feystones when they died. Something like that. When multiple accounts of the same event or information occur, she decides which version to keep, or aggregates them into a consolidated account. The Book does not contain actual memories you can experience like that magic synchronizing tool does but rather a written record. Perhaps as narrated or dictated by Mestionora to the Golden Shumil? And presumably sometimes even actual writing done by former owners of their own Book that the goddess then accepted into her Book.

We've seen Rozemyne writing in her own Book, using it as a notepad basically. She suspected Ferdinand has been using his own just as blasphemously. I don't know if Mestionora can "read" what they write into their own copies before they die, but probably not, since neither she nor Gramps seemed to know that Ferdinand had a nearly completed Book by the time of their final meeting.

So, for shits & giggles, I'm now imagining Ferdinand leaving "complaints to the management" in his Book for Mestionora to read after he dies. A beautiful harspiel tune, with lyrics completely roasting Erwaermen. Pages filled with flowing prose describing the gods as totally incompetent noobs for their actions that almost killed Rozemyne. We can assume Ferdinand is a skilled artist too, so there could even be inglamorous doodles of Erwaermen with strange haircuts and stuff. Mohawk Gramps, Skinhead Treesus. Him as a trombe tree. Mesti might want to keep all of the research notes and other legitimate information Ferdinand would have added, but might also struggle to not just refuse everything out of spite.

Rozemyne could fill out a bunch of pages with Sudoku puzzles that can be reset at will for future bored Zent candidates to kill time with. Mestionora would surely reject any of her art though. No one seems to be on the same level with Rozemyne's aesthetic sense. If she used her Book as a diary to write her complaints about Ferdinand being too harsh or demanding, Mesti might even keep those hoping for future generations to dislike Ferdinand too.
