In Memoria, Adytum

⁵…and Ion stood amidst the smouldering ruin that was the gateway to the city of Kythera. Once more in the guise of a man, humbled before the ravages wrought in His name. He looked about Him and saw the suffering of those He once wished freed and realized that it was by His hand that their great works had been laid low.

He looked upon them and wept.

Karcist Lucien Dutoit

Lucien Dutoit

Full Name: Mānsatt'āppaṁ Kunna Kalākāran / "The Artist that Works in Flesh"

Known Aliases: Lucien Dutoit

Title: Karcist

Area of Activity: Europe & India

Known Cult Association(s): Société de la Fleur Sanglante (Society of the Bloody Flower)

Sex/Gender: M?/M

D.O.B.: Unknown

Height: Varies, most often described as being of average height

Weight: Varies, though has been frequently described as "slight"

Personal History: Known to have originally been based in the Indian subcontinent, he moved to Europe at some point during the Colonization period where he integrated with the French Aristocracy.

Almost nothing is known about Dutoit outside of the SCP-3862-A letters. All mention of him was expunged from French diplomatic records at the request of the Portuguese government. It is this very lack of available information that suggests that the identity of "Lucien Dutoit née Thiers" is just one of many such personas assumed by this individual.

What is known, and has been confirmed through various outside sources, is that Dutoit is the identity used by the Karcist of the Neo-Sarkic cult Société de la Fleur Sanglante (Society of the Bloody Flower). It is believed that Dutoit is the nom de guerre assumed by the Karcist after the fall of the July Monarchy in 1848.

Our understanding as to why Dutoit was positioned at the British court via the French diplomatic corps is purely conjecture. Through his letters, we can assume that he was attempting to gain leverage amongst the British aristocracy in a hope to shift his flagging power base in France and either his attempts to do so were blocked by an unknown outside entity, or he simply found that shifting to Portugal was a much more appetizing prospect.

Either way, the Société did make the move to Portugal, and Dutoit utilized his connection with the Marquessa to secure a French diplomatic residency at the Palace of Santos. It is unclear how much of that delegation was made up of members of his Société, but the impact of Dutoit's shifting to Lisbon did ultimately result in the Palace of Santos eventually becoming the permanent French Embassy in Portugal.

As with all Canons on the site, you do not require permission to write for this Canon. If you think your piece fits somewhere in the Canon, feel free to add it as an "Assistentes". The main plot lines are already all mapped out, all the way through Act 4, so you'll have a good framework to work with.

Articles/Tales in the canon get tagged memoria-adytum.

For tales, we suggest using the Memoria Theme. It is not required, but uniformity looks cool and the theme was designed with that in mind.

+ Usage

Each Act is separated based upon the primary events going on + how much the Foundation is aware of what's going on.

In Acts 1 & 2, only the people initially involved in Kelipat Nogah were TRULY aware. The Foundation as a whole, led primarily by O5-08, refused to believe that the Sarkic Threat was as extensive as it was, and were (falsely) confident that the Foundation could handle anything that came from it. They turned an intentional blind eye to the goings on and refused to listen to people like Dr. Low or O5-12.

After Act 3, however, the Veil is broken and everything the Foundation does has been affected by it. Basically, anything set AFTER 23 February, 2020 in this Canon is placed in a world where the Veil has been broken and the Mundane World has at least a general idea that the Anomalous World exists.

Stuff in the Prologue generally tends to be stuff about the ancient Sarkics and the War of the Flesh. This isn't meant to be a re-telling of that war, that all happened long ago.
