Anti-Magic | |
Ash: A Secret History / int_18bf4326 | comment |
Anti-Magic: The power of the bloodline of the Dukes of Burgundy is to prevent miracles from happening. As such, the Wild Machines have manipulated Carthage to destroy Burgundy, as they cannot perform their 'dark miracle' until that bloodline is ended. Instead, at the end of the book, Burgundy is turned into a “filter� for objective reality, negating all of humanity’s power to perform miracles. After a few chapters of realization that Burgundy is beginning to fail in this role, with potentially apocalyptic consequences, it’s discovered that the Wild Machines have since replaced it, using their vast computational abilities to filter reality instead. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The Wild Machines, an ancient self-aware computer conglomerate, ultimately wants to wipe out all humankind and remain the only intelligent thing on the planet. However, it turns out that they only wanted to prevent the chaos and horror that would result if humanity were to keep developing its innate Reality Warper abilities, making them more Well-Intentioned Extremists than anything else. | |

Gayngst: Floria gets a lot of this. She ran away from home because of her intolerant family, and she and her lover Esther were sentenced to death. While her aunt saved her from execution, she didn't do the same for Esther. She joined Ash's company as a Sweet Polly Oliver, only to have the soldiers try to lynch her when it came out that she was female and a lesbian. She also falls in love with Ash, but represses it because she's certain Ash is headed for a violent death. Averted with Angelotti, whose homosexuality is pretty much tolerated by everyone in the company. | |

Rape as Backstory: Ash, aged 8, is raped by two men from her mercenary camp (and her face mutilated) in her Establishing Character Moment in the first pages of the book. She kills her attackers and then is publically whipped as a punishment for killing in self-defense - she threatens to kill whoever whips her and receives extra punishment for her insolence. | |

Establishing Character Moment: in the very first scene of the book we learn that Ash is mentally prepared to thrive in the harshest of CrapsackWorlds. Having grown from infancy with no parental supervision at all (the children in her mercenary camp have to suckle from dogs because even their mothers take no responsibility for them), Ash is raped by mercenaries as an 8-year-old, and kills them, and promises to kill whoever punishes her for that act of self-defense. She is whipped anyway, but decides that her scars are what make her beautiful. | |

Ash: A Secret History / int_83adb272 | comment |
Crystal Dragon Jesus: One of the first signs something's wrong with this history is that everyone swears by the Green Christ and the Briar Cross/Oak Tree instead of the regular Christ and the regular Cross. Christus Viridianus (also known as Christus Imperator) was still born from a virgin and died betrayed and martyred, but shares nothing else with the Jesus we know — he was adopted by a Roman emperor, grew up into a general, and was murdered in a succession crisis. And he was a full-scale Reality Warper of the sort that horrified and inspired the Wild Machines, explaining his miracles. | |

And as known history begins to diverge to match the documents. | |

Ash: A Secret History / int_cc7fae30 | comment |
Outside-Context Problem: The Wild Machines are entities that medieval Europe doesn't have the scientific understanding to properly conceptualize. One memorable chapter of the Framing Story revises the description of the Wild Machines given to Ash with contemporary terminology: "ferae natura machinae" becomes "silicon-based 'machine' intelligences", "manipulating the energies of the spirit-world" becomes "drew upon solar electromagnetic energy", and "evil miracle" becomes "consciously guided alteration of the basic fabric of probable reality", to name a few. | |

Slap-Slap-Kiss: Deconstructed with Ash and Fernando. At the start of the story, Fernando is a pretty massive Jerkass to Ash. She, on her hand, hates his guts, while still being attracted to him on a physical level and resenting it. It takes most of the novel for him to develop into a good, if flawed, person, which in turn makes Ash fall in love with him... and when she does, it turns out that he loves the Faris. | |
