The Tyrant Philosophers/Drathel's bandoliers
Drathel's bandoliers are a set of three bandoliers laden with uncharged tablethi, carried by Drathel as a concealed means of harvesting accumulated mystical power from a crypt. They represent the practical, portable implementation of a harvesting technique that converts a fixed repository of stored energy into a transportable, distributed charge. Though they appear in only a single scene in Days of Shattered Faith, their function illuminates the mechanics of tablethi harvesting and the clandestine conditions under which such work must be conducted.
Across the series, the bandoliers receive no further use, depletion, or alteration. Their sole recorded deployment occurs during a crypt-harvesting operation in which Drathel positions the empty slates close to her body beneath her jacket to draw in residual mystical energy gathering in the surrounding space. The concealment suggests the harvesting takes place in a context where open preparation would attract objection or notice. No maker, origin, or subsequent disposition of the bandoliers is recorded.
The Object
Description
Three bandoliers, each laden with uncharged tablethi, worn beneath a jacket and positioned close to the body. The bandoliers constitute a portable array of empty tablethi slates rather than a weapon or tool in any conventional sense; their purpose is entirely receptive. - Days of Shattered Faith, ch 44.
What It Does
The bandoliers function as a harvesting apparatus. The uncharged tablethi slates they carry are positioned in proximity to a crypt so that residual mystical energy accumulating within the space can be drawn into them during the act of harvesting, converting a fixed repository of power into a transportable, distributed charge. The concealment beneath the jacket indicates the operation is conducted where open preparation would be noticed or objected to. - Days of Shattered Faith, ch 44.
Provenance
The only known bearer is Drathel, who carries the bandoliers during a single crypt-harvesting operation. No maker, prior owner, or subsequent disposition is recorded in the text. - Days of Shattered Faith, ch 44.
History
Days of Shattered Faith
In Days of Shattered Faith, Drathel carries three bandoliers laden with uncharged tablethi, worn beneath her jacket as a concealed means of harvesting the accumulated power stored within a crypt - ch 44. The bandoliers serve as a portable array of empty tablethi slates, positioned close to the body so that the residual mystical energy gathering in the crypt can be drawn into them during the act of harvesting, effectively converting a fixed repository of power into a transportable, distributed charge. Their concealment under the jacket indicates the harvesting is conducted in a context where open preparation would be noticed or objected to. The notes record only this single deployment; no further use, depletion, or alteration of the bandoliers is described elsewhere in the book.
Relationships
- Drathel - The sole bearer. The bandoliers are a tool she carries and employs for a specific harvesting task; no repeated use, personal significance, or further relationship is described. - Days of Shattered Faith, ch 44.
- Tablethi - The bandoliers are laden with uncharged tablethi, which serve as the receptive medium for harvested mystical energy. The bandoliers exist as a delivery mechanism for these slates in a harvesting context. - Days of Shattered Faith, ch 44.
