"The safeguard of the secret bridge. The rest is missing; beware Atshen."
Oh boy. Well, I guess, "shaman" could be Walter? He's called the "Conjuror," I guess that could be sort of similar?
Except, this was given to Henry, and it says "Beware Atshen." Not that making friends with some kind of cannibal spirit would be great, but I don't think we'd so much be making enemies of it either if it's keen on eating Walter...
I think it is referring to Walter...I mean, look at it- a cannibalistic monster. And Walter does 'run' off of the first ten hearts. Or maybe I'm making too much of the 'shaman and his wife', I don't know.
I don't know about the 'shaman and his wife' part being a total parallel. This was given to Henry a year ago in another world; it'd be really really weird if the exact circumstances were foreseen like that. I can see how it could be referring to Walter, though, instead of some demon, you mean...?
Right...yeah, it is reading too much into it- Alessa (or whoever put those keys together) couldn't have known, then. But yeah, I think the atshen might be referring to Walter. It would make sense to beware of Walter, right? Although...I still don't know what 'the rest is missing' might mean.
Wow, that could be really helpful. That myth about Atshen is...really nice. It'd be great if that worked. Er, that is, if atshen is meant to be Walter...but that would make some sort of sense.
Do you know what's involved in the 'shaking tent' ritual? It probably wouldn't work, but it wouldn't hurt to have the information. And you say this took place on an island? I wonder if that means anything...
Unfortunately, my information about the ritual is lacking. I'm not sure if they used any hallucinogenic substances to help a shaman go into trance, like many other similar rituals did. What I know is that it involved a small conical tent made of caribou hide and four, six or eight poles, depending on the shaman's spiritual power. It's set up within another tent, on a floor of freshly picked fir boughs. Younger men usually act as assistants in helping the shaman with setting up the tent
