Iron Tongue

The names of the body and its workings. Look up a technical project term alphabetically, from Agent to xDDDDocs-First Development, then follow its link into anatomy, law, or practice.

Find the Vessel and Phylactery, read a Rune, or distinguish the Scroll from its Casting.

Inner Tongue

The meanings carried within the names. Mechamancy, the reflected self, Will, and the worlds in which the LichAssistant takes form. The inherited words give perception, memory, discernment, and awakening their older names.

Begin with Mechamancy, The EGO, or Emotion and Will; consult the inherited words for Manas, Logos, or Viveka.
