So, in CS/BoH the lore is that Edge-Long are basically all parts of dyad pairs that fight each other forever without anyone ever winning
Edge is the aspect of struggle- struggle, in this case, unending, and without relief
I guess you could call it
edging

Book of Hours is the ultimate wish fulfillment game. I can feed people and give them the perfect drink, and they’ll do (spooky cursed) hard labor for me? I can spend entire days sorting books? Rereading my favorites gives me the strength to do hard tasks?! I can keep pets with little to no effort? Books are the path to immortality?!?!
I’m a normal amount of obsessed

I actually liked being Fascinated since my Phost could spend like 10 minutes straight digesting book after book to level up Wolf Stories with 5 memories and 1 lesson
what is a Malady other than an occult-induced hyperfocus

Well why don't YOU come here and take care of me yourself if you're sooo concerned about my welfare! I bet you can't, because you are all uuuu I need to write a history to atone for my mistakes uuuu
I bet you don't even have a bedroom cleared up cause you're all so busy reading all those cryptic pages! Not to brag, but at least I have one, all painted white for totally aesthetic purposes and not because I want to cut my hair or injure myself to access the big m-word!
...it's spacious enough for two people though...
-Cultist (suggestive)
Hm. No. The Forge-of-Days can have you.

I think a lot of the differences come down to how in cultsim you're a normie way out of their depth who is only 'clued in' and 'on top of things' compared to your followers vs in BoH you're the sort of person with the credentials to get selected by an enigmatic organisation to run one of nine libraries in the world rated to carry forbidden knowledge. The Librarian is truly part of the invisible world, the Cultist is desperately clawing their way to comprehension and a lot less prepared for it.
oh def
playing as the Cultist vs playing as the Librarian is like. whats that one post about classically-trained magic users vs self-taught
"what do you MEAN i dont have to burn half my blood to cast Fireball"
you know the one
thats them

The Earthly Powers
I wanted to talk about a pet theory I've had for the presence of the powers of Sky, Scale, Rose, Moon, and Nectar, specifically why they're present in Book of Hours and not Cultsim, which has confused me for a while.
Initially I thought they may have been recently classified in the time between the games, but it seemed like a drastic change to add five new powers to the roster in that time, until I saw the posts talking about the differences between the librarian and the cultist, particularly how the librarian is much more grounded in the world around them. Maybe these powers are rarely present in the Mansus, and instead powers of our world, and potentially viewed by the cultist as useless as a result, powers unrelated to the power of the Mansus, of magic, that do not contribute to their ascension.
What use is the Sky and Moon of our world, not visible within the Mansus? What nectar, what blood, flows through a land not of the living? What relevance is scale, the immensity of the earth they seek to leave behind? What value is a compass rose in a land which cannot be mapped?

Not to brag but I could have prayed to the Thunderskin to power my desk lamp. All that knowledge and you couldn't ask the hours to do simple tasks
-Cultist (who couldn't answer the stag door riddle for the third time)
If you paid your electricity bill on time, you wouldn't have to bother the hours with trivial matters, and would stand a better chance of joining their number. Does the Thunderskin tie your boots for you as well?
Feel free to drop in if you need help with the riddle. I'm happy to assist even if I have to teach you how to read first.

'The Sister-and-Witch'
'The Sister-and-Witch brings together what cannot be apart. She is sought beneath the moon and at the water's edge. She is pearl, amber, coral; she cannot be touched; she cannot be separated.'
Grail
Hunger, lust, the drowning waters. [The principle of the Grail honours both the birth and the feast.]
Heart (2)
The Heart Relentless beats to protect the skin of the world we understand. [The Heart is the principle that continues and preserves.]
Moth (2)
I knew a man who captured moths in a bell-jar. On nights like this, he would release them one by one to die in the candle. [Moth is the wild and perilous principle of chaos and yearning.]
Wall Art
You could describe the whole house as a book, although it would be troublesome to index.

'The Velvet'
'The Glory is a question, and the Moth always answers Yes. The Velvet's answer is No, and that is always her answer.'
Moon (2)
Secrets are soft; night is softer still; the sea speaks. It is not always wise to listen. [The nocturnal, the forgotten.]

'The Thunderskin'
'He cannot be stilled; he demands the dance; he is beaten, like a drum. He is heard in the Wood below the world.'
Heart (2)
The Heart Relentless beats to protect the skin of the world we understand. [The Heart is the principle that continues and preserves.]
Sky (2)
Wind, storm, echo, song; the intricacies of mathematics and the principles of flight. Law's touch is lighter than we sometimes think. [Matters of balance, harmony and necessity.]
Wall Art
You could describe the whole house as a book, although it would be troublesome to index.
