"You will not know yourself or your own past, although you'll remember vague details about your world and your personality remains the same. I, for example, am a scholar back home. My reaction the first time was to immediately start taking notes on everything I was observing, despite not remembering that I am one."

It was fairly fitting and if she does ever visit his domain, she will find an entire tower of just books and reading nooks so it really does suit him and his interests. Just as whatever she creates will probably suit her. Istredd went into the Horizon the first time right here in this room, when he first arrived and someone else was hosting the event. It was only right to pay it forward.

"It is advised to go in with someone else and it only requires meditation. After the first time, it will be easy and you can stay there for days if you'd like, although I highly recommend against it. For one, it's not ultimately good for your connection to the real world, and for two, Thorne frowns deeply upon it. They do watch us very closely."

Istredd is careful to say that in a way that cannot necessarily be seen as judgmental but also honest. It is a low key warning. Thorne is watching them. It notices when people stay too long in the Horizon or run off to the Horizon during certain times. Thorne's attention on the Summoned is known at this point and she's probably felt eyes on her since coming, in one way or another.

"The first time can only be a few minutes and you can be brought back out and helped back in shortly after. When you go back, you will remember your first time, so you'll know what the experience was like afterward."

And usually it is very basic as a wondering young mind observes a strange realm for the first time. As far as Istredd knows, nothing bad has ever come from an intentional guide through it.

"You will feel the compulsion to create when you're in there, it really comes naturally. Like the space wants you to fill it, it wants to be made."
