ALGERIA (contd.)Algeria was rendered difficult by the presence of a native population which already had its own civilization, and was nomad and warlike in its instincts. A start was made in the region of the Tell, and then the mountains and high plateu-land were taken in hand. There has been a spontaneous flor of Italian and Spanish immigration, and a system of land grants and other concessions have attracted large numbers of immigrants from the south of France who have settled fown well in the country. Between 1904 and 1914, 206,000 hectares of land had been settled, of which 91,200 were free grants.sic Algiers to France during the World War led, as it did in other parts of the French colonial empire, to a wider recognition of the political rights of the native. A law was passed, Feb. 4 1919, conferring French citizenship on any native of Algeria who had either served in the French army or navy, was a land-owner, farmer, or licensed trader, knew how to read and write French, or was the possessor of a French decoration.Encyclopaedia Britannica [ Page 87 ]

Explorer's Note
Location:
After entering the Dark World and moving across the cliffside, the note can be found on the ground at the right side near some roots.
Nothing progresses. Time does not change things. Light does not move across the sky, nor does it grow dimmer or brighter. And yet time must pass. My mouth is dry and I feel the pangs of hunger.Weyer's notes predicted instability of the flow of time around the junctions between worlds, where one step might carry one between years, but might preserve the body in its current state. Or, indeed, where the body changed, but time did not pass for the world around. Is that what has happened? Is this whole world frozen in a moment after its destruction?

There are shadows of the dead in the ruins. Those who lived here were human, or near it.

Ifrit Text [ ]
Ifrit Text
Location:
On a table in the dining hall, opposite the kitchen.
Author:
Luciano of Ravenna
Djinn of the Inner Desert, gathered by Luciano of RavennaThe ifrit is a djinni of fire and flame, a vengeance called upon a murderer, implacable, unstoppable, the death of cities. It rises from desolation, from broken lands, and its sign is a shining light. It scents the vitality of its victim and seizes them with its burning eye until all life is drained, as a spider husks a fly. A du'a al-mas'alah, a prayer of asking, and true penance is the only defence.
Ghul Text [ ]
Ghul Text
Location:
Next to the Ifrit note.
Author:
Luciano of Ravenna
The ghûl is a base djinni, a thing of fear, of trickery and shadow, dwelling in the deep places of the world. When it scents human flesh, it digs through the sand to the world above to snare the unwary traveller. It is tricksy, speaking with the voice of men, leading its victims into the harsh places, there to slaughter, devour, and drink their blood.
Hatif Text [ ]
Hatif Text
Location:
On the same table as the Ifrit and Ghul notes.
Author:
Luciano of Ravenna
The hatif is a djinni of calling, the voice alone in the desert; the cry of one bereft and in need of aid. Yet this voice is bodiless and unfleshed, spun of air and dreams; it assails the weary and the beleaguered, luring them from their path and into the wilderness. There they may search in vain, lost and thirsty, until they are bone and dust.
Ashen Mother Text [ ]
Ashen Mother Text
Location:
Next to the table with the other three notes.
Author:
Luciano of Ravenna
The ashen mother is a djinni of healing, of succour in the wilderness. She is wild and capricious; she cannot be summoned, but if her sympathy is roused she may choose to bestow her favour, giving of her body to quench the thirst of the dying, and guiding those who wander in the soft places.

Kel Hanan Note
Location:
In the nearby lit room with the French flag.
The good captain , he has to play the fair-minded statesman, pretend the Kel Hanan are more than savages, give them 'the benefit of doubt'. He is an ass. That lot up at Tesemt are worse than the Bedouin, even the Tuareg do not trust them. I remember the stories Maxime told; they skinned two of Albert's troop, left them there to die, screaming, salt rubbed into the flesh, all in the name of this 'great mother' of theirs. They put on pretty smiles and give the captain painted rocks, but they're the worst of devils. They aren't so many. Slaughter them and make excuses later, if I were commander. Maybe we'll do it anyway.

It is the third day. I have fallen in with a group of Moorish travellers.

They tell me that Tesemt is within two day's journey, should all go well. Yet there is an obstacle still to overcome. The path goes through the demesnes of one Tarkan Reis, a robber-baron of the Ottoman people. Pilgrims must pay a heavy tithe to use his water, and to travel the mountain pass. I have spice, and three thalers left. I pray it will be sufficient.

On the table in Herbert's tent.
Professor, I believe this is only one part of a bigger construction. The archives make reference to this place as a gate, but it also talks of other gates, if I am reading correctly; and there is a symbol that I read as 'crops' or 'harvest'? Perhaps it is related to this 'seed'?

Note to Abdullah
Location:
In the third tent, on the table underneath a book.
Abdullah ,Daniel 's duties. You are to commence excavation of the side-tunnels immediately. Break down the Roman walls if you must, they are irrelevant. Anything older than Roman, investigate. If there are any more markings such as are in the room with the cage, I wish to hear about them. Any records, carvings, or signs that resemble my amulet, I wish to hear about them. Any round stone of crystal, do not touch it on pain of death, but summon me at once.

Pillar Mechanism Note
Location:
On the ground next to the mechanism controls.
From the mechanism it seems that the control device is designed to turn the pillars, but the linkage is broken. We must turn them manually before the device will work properly. See that winches are put in place. I will want to test several configurations.
Tin Hinan Note (2) [ ]
Tin Hinan Note
Location:
Under a coil of rope in the nearby tent.
Perhaps there was once a real person called Tin Hinan , a leader of her people. If so, she is likely buried in the Tuareg tomb far above us. There are other, much older stories that have been conflated with hers. Legends of the grey lady, a goddess who walks the desert. Legends of a healer, legends of an Empress , I think these are ancient memories of what truly happened in this place.

In the corner of the main room with the pillars, there's a side-area that can be entered through crawling through a passage that. The note is in a room full of rubble near a lot of tablets.

One vial should suffice for each.flesh into a flow should choke it, cut off her supply, and wreak havoc at the factory outlets themselves. But be wary. The red flesh is volatile, and unless all the flows are stopped, the constant cycle of pain and fear will continue and our penance will not end.the tower will fall and we will not meet again in this world. But perhaps, if the true ancestors deem that we have atoned for this great sin, we may yet meet again in another place.

My cousin in the military office says that many caravans have disappeared here over the years, more than can be put down to mischance. That is why we are here, to make sure the locals are not acting as bandits. But according to Musa from the village, they have lost their own people too. He talks about beasts – his French is not good, but he did not mean a jackal or a big cat. Some other large predator. There must be a lair nearby.

There is an itching behind my eyes. As if a beetle burrows there, in the folds of my brain, boring its way in, mandibles tearing at grey matter. As if a gnarled finger has been pushed into my skull, a broken fingernail working into my thoughts. I want to reach in with a needle to scratch it. Or perhaps a piece of wire. Through the tear-duct, threading through the lacrimal canal.
