Wizard Wednesday Episode 19 Transcription

Wizard Wednesday Ep. 19

=

Elf: [00:00:00] It is Wednesday, everybody. December 12th, 2021. And

Cult Member: it's time for our

Elf: cult meeting, a k a Wizard Wednesday. This is Elf and Dota and Dota channeling in from the quantum downs. It's that magical time of year when furs climbed up to the secret tower and builds snowman, and then wooden boy wizards en chant them with their reanimation magic.

And so now, instead of a large wolf guarding the secret tower, we have a cute but kind of creepy snowman watching your every move. If you haven't seen the secret tower lately, uh, go and you'll, you'll see the snowman I'm talking about. Uh, So, yeah, it's a magical time of year. Doda, uh, we also made it snow at the secret tower.

Dotta: It's been great. I love Christmas. I love putting up lights as soon as possible. Yeah. Um, I've got Garland behind my [00:01:00] head already, and we've already started off a list of Christmas Wizard Christmas songs.

Elf: Yeah. Is is that a, but we had some ideas. Is, is that a Magus Wasier joint or is, um, or are multiple wizards involved in that?

You

Dotta: know, we've, we've had all sorts of, of input from the secret tower. Um, you know, we're trying to con, you know, give Magus Wasier some good ideas. So I think we've got, uh, let's see, Ringle Bell Rock, uh, Wazzer, the Red Nose Ringer Park. Angelic Dota sings, um, not so silent night. That's a good one. We wish you a jelly donut.

I saw mommy kissing mags. We ear. Yeah, so there's a lot of good ones. So there are high hopes for you. The one who raised,

Cult Member: I like, I like, I saw Mommy kissing

Elf: Magus was there. [00:02:00]

Dotta: Yeah, baby. It's loud outside.

Cult Member: These are great.

Elf: Yeah, I have not

Dotta: heard those yet. I'm expecting an album. We Oh, it's fine. We still have 20 days till Christmas. Yeah,

Elf: exactly. The Magus was, yeah. Yeah. If, yeah, exactly. If I know Magus was here, we could do 50 songs in that time.

Cult Member: Some someday there's gonna come a

Elf: point when we build up magazine. Magus was here too much and then he's, he's not gonna be able to deliver. But I, I don't, no, it's gonna, it's, it's gonna take a lot to get to that

Dotta: point. He's gonna get, you know, he'll get like his audition on, um, you know, American Idol.

He'll go solo, have a solo career.

Elf: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

Cult Member: Um, so, okay,

Elf: I, I've got one thing I wanted to give a shout out real quick. First, um, if we could maybe start out with a shout out. Uh, [00:03:00] let's do it. I came across this amazing book of law entry. It's from a wizard called Magus XR of the Hills. He, uh, his wizard number is 3 5 88. Um, And, you know, it just, it, it speaks to, you know, what I like to talk about a lot, which is the diversity of the cult and how there's all kinds of styles, um, in the book of lore and just in the user generated, uh, content that we see all over the community.

Um, and so this, this is just like a, it's a really unique entry in the book of lore. Um, it's told through like, there's maybe like 20 photos, um, that are all just like, really well done in Photoshop. And then like the, the writing is very simple, so it's, it's like a very simple but also. Really involved story that just tells this whole

Dotta: wizards like [00:04:00] life almost.

Elf: Um, so yeah, you know, I won't, I won't tell it here. Maybe the, uh, the writer of this story will read it someday in Wizard Wednesday, but if you want to go look it up, um, Magus XR of the Hills number 3 5 88. It's freaking amazing. It, it just blew my mind. It's, it's, it's really original. Um, so maybe, um, maybe we can share it

Dotta: actually in the, in the, the, the chat or whatever.

Yeah. I just thought, I think you need, I think you need the visuals for it. The visuals really

Elf: make it Yeah. Ex Exactly. Yeah. You can't just read it. You have to look at the visuals. Yep. Uh, so yeah, so that was awesome. It's, yeah, and it's just, you know, if, if, again, if you're, if you're someone who's like, afraid that you can't like write, you know, whatever that means, um, Like, look at the way Magus XR handled it.

Uh, you know, there's not a lot of writing really. It's just a lot of like pictures and it's, [00:05:00] it's so much fun and it's funny. Um, and, and, and, and the story itself is very, um, atypical. It's very untraditional. It's not what you would think a wizard would do, but it's great. Um, and then, yeah, and then another thing that I'm like having, well, Okay.

Another, another thing that's popped up in the community that I don't quite understand is this whole proof of milk thing. Doda, do you know anything about this?

Dotta: Yeah. So well, maybe rolling up again. I think today we have just like all sorts of stuff all over the place to talk about. So we

Elf: do. Yeah. It's, yeah, it's a scatterbrained

Dotta: day.

Today is of the day where there's like everything, so talking about IP rights to plans for expanding the Wizard's ip, um, both in like, um, you know, more metaverse characters, more like talking more about like shows, YouTube game, everything. We, I think, I don't necessarily know if there's necessarily any [00:06:00] big news.

We talked even about like, there's so many things going on talking about this idea of a roadmap three, or at least what Roadmap three is gonna look like. So, um, yeah, so I think. Today. There's a lot of different topics we wanna talk about. We almost could publish like an agenda or something, but, uh, feel free to hop up here if anybody wants to, to chat too, but, okay, so proof of milk.

So if you check out the Milk Guild Channel in Discord, um, Dr. Pavlovsky has, uh, started this, uh, I don't, I don't know what to call it so much as like a community effort or this idea. Um, you can actually find the, like the demo of the website on it. I believe it's proof of milk.com. Somebody wanna correct me.

Um, and what it basically looks like to me is, uh, it's, it's a sort of like, uh, it, to me, the first blush looks like the idea of the game. That's not dissimilar from a lot of the like, play to earn games. We've been seeing like sort of Wolf Games, sheep games, something like that. And so it's, the design I think is looking really [00:07:00] good, super fun.

Um, but I do think that there's some work to be done in terms of like figuring out the game design. Um, uh, let's see. I think like, I think that Dr. Pavlovsky is actually here. Do you want to come up here and talk about it a little bit? Yeah. I'm gonna invite you up and you can talk and if you don't want to, you don't have to.

Yep. So, yeah. But if you are interested in helping build kind of like a community on chain crypto play to earn, uh, milking, uh, MOOC's sort of game, then join the Milk Guild.

Elf: Yeah. Executive milking mooch. I love that. Is this, is this separate than, uh, the donut do that's going on in the threads? I think so.

Okay.

Dotta: So, yeah, I, you know, again, like it's not, we are not the one sort of like, in control that I think they're both community efforts in that sense. But in terms of my, like, understanding and participation, I believe it's pretty different because I'm kind of [00:08:00] the, the proof of milk. Oops. I milk muted everyone.

Can everyone talk now? Um, yeah, I think we're good. The, the proof of milk project to me seems more like a game. You collect items. Hey, Dr. Pavlovsky. Hello. Hey, what's up? How's it going?

Elf: Hi,

Cult Member: great, how are you? Yeah, I'm doing

Elf: good. Uh, so the proof of mill, so the, the original idea

Cult Member: was, uh, to find a creative way to push my lore, uh, initially in the fact that, uh, Mok was campaigning to abolish Canon Nights hunting and offer their milk instead.

But I'm not the best writer. Mm-hmm. Illustrator. Uh, so I thought, why not just ba build like a fake. Dap at first, that was the original gold. Like, uh, you steak your cow, uh, you get some milk tokens and then you use that milk to mint, uh, like magic milk potions with random container taste, number of magic properties and all that.

Uh, and then you could have those different spells that [00:09:00] cost different amount of milk and that would change the odds of what you would get. Um, and then from that, I had the idea of the, the milk yield and make that more into like a community thing. And it's very likely that this actually becomes a, a real thing.

And obviously I don't want to build something where only 1% of, uh, holders can, can relate. So the idea would be that, Anyone could help, uh, of course, uh, by, by staking their wizards and claiming milk, uh, I mean, canons, they just produce the, the raw product, right? But there's a whole supply chain to take care of.

That's why the, the Milk Guild will be open to, to anyone and ideally anyone can, uh, steak and help produce, uh, this, this milk.

Dotta: That's super fun. So yeah, so that is like a early effort. And I think, um, yeah, I, I think that if somebody, uh, you know, one of the things I think that would help there is if we could work up like a g d [00:10:00] doc.

So whether that's like a Google doc that community members are all able to help on, or an ocean dock or something like that. I don't know if that exists already, but I know that, you know, even I could help start typing out some ideas there. I love the designs and as soon as I saw the designs, I like wanted to play the game immediately.

Uh, yeah. And then so now, yeah, it's really fun.

Cult Member: Well, glad to hear anybody's invited to. You can join the channel and, uh, join the Mill Guild. They can submit like a bio and that's gonna go on the, on the website. So that's for anyone that wants to, you know, uh, help the canons, but also, uh, help topple the big potion industry.

Of course.

Elf: Perfect. Awesome. I just wanted to say that now I know why the doctor was offering milk in the web three, uh, tavern. He was in there already trying to

Cult Member: It's awesome. It's

Dotta: been great For, honestly, it's been like great for world building. I haven't [00:11:00] even considered like the idea of like milk from candidates or anything in this world, but like I I, I just got like a quick like lore build idea from just like, Throwing in majors, Devin in there. And there's a couple of other people as well.

They've joined the Milk Guild and they're just kind of like incorporated milk into how their wizards work in the Garland world. So I think if, if you like, it's good, good for like some just small world building. If you guys

Elf: have any idea how it can utilize milk and join the Milk Guild. So I just have quick lore from the Milk Guild.

Uh, from Nero br Brown Cow of El Dorado Wizard number 4 8 89. Yes. So, uh, Nero br Brown Cow of El Dorado. He's the founder of Brown Cow's psychedelic cappuccino bar. Um, using all natural organic brown cow milk is of the highest importance at the Brown Cow psychedelic cappuccino bar. We founded our bar so that the wizards and warriors from all the land could trip out on the highest quality cappuccinos.

We pride ourselves in treating our [00:12:00] cows with respect by giving them free range mansions covered in the most delicious and nutritious magic grass. Yeah, that's the Lord. So,

Cult Member: dude, it's great. We hope we,

Elf: we hope you join, uh, the psychedelic cappuccino bar, uh, pyramid scheme cuz we'll give you a

Dotta: mansion.

Amazing. I like how we

Cult Member: created lots of little bits of lore of now wizard holders that are also like, uh, small and medium businesses owner. Um, cuz I mean in Bill Gill, yes, it's to, to help the canons, but as I said, it's to, to help like topple the, the big potion industry. And that made just so much sense that if you're looking at like macro economic systems and a fantasy setting, you would have those like big evil capitalistic corporations making money by being just John assholes.

And then you've got a much more sustainable, uh, magic milk that can help, um, you know, topple that, that evil industry. There's not only demons are evils, there's, there's other, [00:13:00] other industries of course. Yeah.

Elf: It sounds like you guys need your own, uh, channel in our discord. Cause there there is one. I, I'm, yeah.

Okay, great.

Dotta: We have one? Yep, we have

Elf: one. Oh, fantastic. Yeah, the Cobalts have one. Sounds like the cows need one. This I, I love it. Yep.

Dotta: I I think it's, it's even opens for, for those who are candidates as well. As long as you can like, incorporate in your stories. I put, I pinned some of the, the tweets that have been showing off some stories.

There's measured with Z in there as well. So anybody's welcome to Common to Milk Guild as long as you have something to incorporate with it.

Elf: Fantastic. And also, I just wanna say I love the name Nero Manser Brown Cow. That's. Phenomenal. Yeah. I thought the name is Brown Cow. Yeah. That's so good. Very cool.

Yeah. Um, you know, that reminds me, uh, I, I'm, I'm seeing a lot more, uh, like I, I [00:14:00] guess, um, like next level user-generated content. Um, you know, I, I love like the memes and the drawings and the character designs and all of that, but now I'm seeing like you guys are making like, full on, um, like games and, and stuff and, uh, these, the, the, this Proof of milk concept like this, these are, these are huge things.

Um, Uh, the Discord user give Ahoo the other day. He's, well, he's been ding DMing me a lot and I don't know what his name on is on Twitter. I know he shared Laura, but I forgot it. But he's, he's known as, as Give Ahoo in the the Discord channel. Um, him and Oz, and I know a few other people are making this amazing card game.

And, um, he showed me some art from it the other day and I promised I wouldn't share it, but I think it's okay if I talk about it. Uh, it's looking freaking amazing. I think this game is gonna be so good. Dota, you saw it, right? Yeah.

Dotta: Yeah. You, yes. It looks really amazing. I [00:15:00] can't wait for it to develop and,

Elf: and to share more there.

Yep. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. It's just you guys, you guys are always like, you guys just keep building amazing things that just blow my mind.

Dotta: Yeah. And I think that it's great, right? It speaks to this idea around like a decentralized community because when you, in that like, um, decentralized communities with permissive licenses allow it almost like eases the burden for being able to create these things.

Because like when you create a new game from scratch, you're also creating kind of like the entire world and you're also creating the entire community. And, and so now with Wizards and NFTs, maybe some products in general, you can kind of bootstrap a big chunk of that, which is like, what are the themes?

What are the artworks, what are the characters, what are the jokes? Who are the people who are gonna be interested in this? All of that sort of comes to you for free with the community, and you can kind of just focus on creating the game, which is a much lighter lift than, um, than you might have if you're trying to build an indie game, like sort of from the ground up.

And so I love [00:16:00] that we, um, We even, like, we had some quotes in like a article earlier this week, um, from uh, defiant Media. I posted the tweak here. You me, to scroll back a few. I've been adding a bunch in the, in the space. Um, but uh, yeah, I, one of the things that we talked about there is, um, you know, the, the, the a the journalist who reached out and said, oh, you know, what do you think about these like CCC zero projects being like the top projects, which wasn't entirely accurate cuz apes aren't CCC zero, but whatever, it's the point stands.

Um, you know, they're very like decentralized ip. And one of the things I said to him is like, you know, for wizards we don't like, Um, we're not abdicating our responsibility for storytelling. I kind of think of actually like projects that, to NFT projects that totally decentralize their lore. I think of a lot like projects that give all of their governance over to the dao.

Um, like I'm a bit like capitalistic and, and sort of like a little [00:17:00] individualistic, which is to say that like, I think that companies sort of do better if they have a very strong founder led vision. I think you're able to move a little bit faster in a cohesive way, um, than if you have a company that's like run by committee, right?

I mean, like the classic examples, like imagine when you've ever had to do a school project or if you've worked in a company that like for real has like a very horizontal structure, you know that it's actually quite difficult to get anything done because nobody's really responsible. There's like too many competing priorities that you're like, Spending a lot of time on like kind of politics and positioning rather than sort of like having your effect on the world.

And I, and I feel similarly about like that with Wizards, which is like we ourselves are bursting with stories to tell. And I think, you know, even practically when it comes to working with outside partners, we talked about this before with like Netflix. Like Netflix isn't gonna hop in the discord and like negotiate IP rights with every single kind of wizard holder necessary to make a show in theory.

Um, and so [00:18:00] yeah, so I think that we've, but at the same token, we want every wizard to feel that their wizard is personally their own and like completely their own for as long as they want to hold it, right? That there's not some sort of like trap door where that gets taken away from you at some future time, you can fully invest into your character and the development of your character and up to like commercial, commercial rights and stories and merch and whatever.

As deeply as you need to. Um, and so, yeah, we'll, we'll be publishing more like specific, I guess, um, legal documents on that. But, um, I don't know. That was something that came up this week and we were part of that conversation. Well,

Elf: what stood out to me about the article was he was trying to, he was asking us, which is better, a totally decentralized approach to the IP building or a more centralized one.

And like our, I think our, our response is the best, which, which is it's a hybrid model. Yeah. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's [00:19:00] both. And it, it's sort of what I was talking about last week, which is this sort of ebb and flow of creative energy between Magic Machine and the cult, and then back to us and then back to them, and, um, Yeah, I, I, I think we can leverage the strength of, of each of these models and, and blend them together for something really unique and, and strong

Dotta: and valuable.

Yeah. Punks are, ob punks are obviously historic, right? They can never sort of be displaced. They'll always get a page, right, like on the history book page of NFTs. They'll be a picture of a punk there forever. But in terms of like, like continuing relevancy, you know, it isn't great that they aren't particularly open with their IP inherently.

Um, you don't really have like a good sort of theme of character creation, like a, like a strong thread of character creation. You have punk comics, of course. Um, but like, other than that, you know, what other punk ip derivative art is there, you know, I have to be careful about this. I didn't tweet about this cause I don't [00:20:00] wanna make any punks mad If anyone is a punk and listen to this, I love punks.

Like I don't own any, but I aspire to, um, like, I think that they're super important. I look up to them. I actually felt that this week when they kind of had their renaissance, did y'all see that? Like on their like, I don't know what, I don't know what you wanna call it. Like their rally. Like this week every, all the punks like showed up on Twitter and posted their punk on Twitter.

And it was sort of just kind of almost like this reminder of like, Hey, we're punks. We were the first. Like we're taking up the air in the room. We're all gonna change our PFPs Back to punks. To me this week that didn't feel like a position of strength. I actually got the impression that it was a position of like being scared.

Like they were actually kind of scared of being flipped by um, apes particularly, but also just sort of like losing relevance in general. That they're all like, Hey guys, like people aren't like focusing on the punks as much. Like we better all like that. We're punks. And so then what is, how does that play out?

It's like, oh, we all pissed our picture, our posters of like, we all post [00:21:00] our pictures of being a punk. And that was as far as it went and that's as far as it can go cuz that's all that they do. And so I, I definitely get that feeling of like, they, yeah, you know, they have a target on their back, they'll be like sort of not, they'll never be Deron.

For me it was like this, when you're a kid, you know this market was shaky this week. And when you're a kid and you're scared, you look to your dad and if your dad is like, Feeling fine, then you feel fine because your dad feels good. But when you look up at your dad punks and the punks seem scared, like the, it's not good for your dad to be scared.

Like you get scared too. That was how I kind of felt this week when they all were posting their images. And I think that we sort of have like, um, I don't know, a bit more meat under the hood, right? We're not as big as they are, not even close yet. Um, but I think that there's a lot for us to build on, to build this entire world in a way that all of us own it moving

Elf: forward.

Yep. A hundred percent. [00:22:00] We're building a world. We're not building just a subculture. I think that's, I think that's one of the things that defines us in contrast to many of these others is we're much more than a p fp. We're much more than an elite subculture. We're open, we're a world, our world has many subcultures within it.

We've got the cows, the, the cobols. So many others. Blame heads. Yep. Yep. Yeah. Any, before we move on to the next thing,

Dotta: is there anybody who wants to come up on stage and kind of, you know, argue with that? Also? I hope I don't get blacklisted by punks. I love punks. Respect punks.

Elf: Like, I'm too scared. I'm not trying to, I know, I'm not trying to make enemies.

I'm just saying like,

Dotta: no, you're fine. That's why I came across. No. Uh, cool. So yeah, I think we shared some other things, uh, on this kind of community art creation. Uh, we were talking about this idea of, is it called the donut? Dao has maybe been the working name. Um, again, the donut DAO is not necessarily like, you know, [00:23:00] kind of created by me or us as, um, Elon Dota, but as the community.

But I think we're still thinking a lot about it. Um, one of the things that has come up, again, this isn't final ideas, but one of the things come up is this idea that we have a Dao where we auction. Um, some sort of like, uh, one of ones every day to kind of fund the treasury. And then that treasury takes proposals to help create wizard art.

And so this idea could be like, you buy your first wizard and then we just say like, go to the Dao. The Dao actually has contacts with all these artists who worked with before. They know what the process is and you can, uh, ask the Dow for some funding. The funding will put you in touch with an artist and then pay for it.

And then now you'll have your new lore. And so we'll have kind of this system where, um, yeah, there's a treasury that's funded by the sale of these, like significant one of ones. And so we, like Al and I can kind of create, [00:24:00] um, Some of them, right? Like maybe we create the first one or maybe the first seven or something.

Um, but I think that really the, the most powerful way to approach this would be kind of like, um, for artists in our community to sort of self-organize, come together and create work. Um, that is like substantial, right? You could imagine, for example, um, even the royalty, like the commission fee could be a percentage of the auction.

Right. So you could imagine that it's like, oh, the, the commission fee is like 10% of the auction. So then if sort of the, the, the one of one beast or whatever goes for 50 eth, then like five ETH goes to the artist and then the 45 eth goes to kind of the treasury, something like that. So, you know, it's very easy for me to imagine like a list of artists who, um, who are like all in this room who we would love to kind of have, um, be a part of that.

Um, and that's just an idea. I think it'll sort of take folks, um, in the community really rallying around that to, to make that happen. But I think that's the latest, we're [00:25:00] sort of donut

Elf: dow. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Dows are, are tricky for me to just wrap my head around cuz it, I, I've just got like a million questions on how they function.

I mean, like, while you were talking, you know, I was like, one thing that just popped up to my head was like, Well, you say people are gonna use it to make art. What if they want to use it to make something not art related? Like, is that allowed? It, it is a dow after all. Can't they do whatever they want? Yeah.

And so I, I, yeah, I guess I'm just thinking like, like how do you even I I, I don't know. It, it's like, like if, if something is a Dow then it's gotta be a full Dow. Like there can't be just like a half Dow, right? A Dow is like totally autonomous, totally self-organizing. And it, it's almost weird for us to even like say, this is what the Dow's gonna be because it, that sounds very centralized, and so we can't say what it's gonna be.

Dotta: That's right. [00:26:00] Yeah. Does that make sense? I think that, yeah. I think that the way that the Dao needs to work is there's some sort of group of voters, right? And so maybe one idea is like one wizard, one vote, and then uh, or maybe one wizard or one soul. And then maybe something is, like if you buy one of these one-on-ones, there's some sort of weighted vote, right?

That you get like 10 votes per, per one of these, like one-on-ones. So for example, if you look at like, nouns down, it's like one noun, one vote. So they don't have any sort of existing community and they're very like insular. The, the point of the nouns down is to make increase the value of nouns. Whereas this, we would wanna make sure that it doesn't sort of go off on its own and kind of like not be concerned about the Greater Wizard community.

And so at the very least, um, you would have like one wizard, one vote. I think you'd probably wanna have some sort of time lock on it. Um, so for example, like, um, you, if, if someone puts in, if like, you know what, you don't want a situation where nobody's paying attention and then somebody makes a proposal to vote, give themselves all the money from the treasury, and [00:27:00] then, uh, nobody votes to like stop them, right?

So you do kind of have to have a bit of alerting, a bit of attentiveness, um, But I think, you know, there are tools to help all those things. And so ultimately, I think that anyone who sort of participates in this DAO is, is gonna be sort of friendly, trying to make wizards about more valuable, not necessarily trying to steal it all.

Sure.

Elf: Yeah. It's, uh, many. Well, last summer, bear Nick and I were trying to put together a, um, a gallery show for Wizards. And I told this story long ago on Wizard Wednesday, but this art, this crypto art gallery had had a Dow around it and. The, the, it was a coincidence when we met them, um, on the day of our meeting, they got ha their dow got hacked by like renegade members who stole all the money.

Um, and so that's what canceled our show. Cause they were just like running around with their heads cut [00:28:00] off. Like they had lost like tens of millions of dollars. Um, so, so yeah. I hope that doesn't help me. That's terrible.

Dotta: Yeah, so I mean, I think that's right. That's part of kind of the, um, I mean, I, I like our governance, I assume would have some sort of multisig, right?

So you acquire maybe like six of 10. So even if one person gets hacked, it's not sort of, uh, like I would be very interested to kind of understand the details. Like, like one person's ledger got hacked, like how did this work? You know?

Elf: Yep. Yep. I do not know. It was, it was the crypto Venetian. This, this, I mean, this is public information.

It's not like I'm telling a secret. Yeah. Um, but yeah, it, you know, I'm sure it's, the information's out there.

Dotta: Cool. We got questions in the Discord. Maybe we can hit some of those. What do you think? Yeah, let's do it. Okay. So we asked people about questions earlier today. Oh, I gotta scroll up. Okay. One thing I know people are asking is [00:29:00] when merch, when merch, um, the merch boxes are very soon.

I think that we'll get to talk about them, um, next week. But I think the plan is that they'll go out in December in terms of who gets to buy them, we still have to like, finalize everything. Um, basically there'll be some mix of like a lottery slash like the, if you filled out that form and we have your Discord name.

Um, and so stay tuned. We're sorry that it's taking so long, but, um, I th they're, uh, Yeah, I've been asked to wait until next Wednesday when we'll have like very specific information next Wednesday. Sorry for the delight. Next question. Yeah. Long-term plans, especially with regard to the land is what I'm most interested in.

Ooh. Yeah, I mean, just so excited for this. I think, you know, we're trying to like prep, um, an announcement of a game deal and be able to like, give you descriptions on the [00:30:00] land sale and kind of what the, what the prop plots will look like, what you'll be able to do. We have, um, pretty good like vision in terms of.

Some of the high level mechanics of what the game might be. You'll be hearing a lot about this in the coming days. Um, but you know, the vision is really something that's like a metaverse that has both social features, but also like crafting and questing. And, you know, that game is certainly gonna need its own tokens.

And my vision is that, um, you know, every item is an N F T and every resource is a token. So, um, you can imagine a world where there are quite a lot of resources to be able to like craft magical items go on quests with your friends. Um, have like battle encounters. And so, um, yeah, the land sale, we don't have like a hard date yet.

I like to be honest. Um, again, I, I don't know bec, I, I have to be very careful about not saying dates because that [00:31:00] creates quite a lot of like. Problems down the line when we want to push things. But I think that we would like to preference here, um, do a public land sale in q like maybe towards the end of Q1 next year.

Um, so I don't, don't hold me to it, but if you're here listening, that's what I'm like looking at. Um, but we'll have like more details on that like very, very soon.

Elf: Yep. This, uh, this talk of our game slash land sale, it's very exciting. I cannot overstate how the things that I'm hearing, how, how great they are and how, I'm just super excited to splurge all the details as soon as possible.

Um, we can't do that yet, but very soon.

Dotta: I always feel like that kid and the gif. Uh, you know, the kid who like can't say something, uh, you know, with the big vein popping out of his head, that's like the daily basis. [00:32:00] Um, alright. Next one. Coinbase update. We don't, we, uh, okay. We're under nda. We can't say much, but I think what I can say is we haven't been given a login to test their demo yet.

I think I can say that. So, um, I don't know the date. I, I, they haven't really given us date. Um, next one, pump those banners. They look incredible. Thanks Ted. Yeah, those were by Molly who's here. Hey Molly, are you here? Do you want to come up on stage and introduce yourself?

Elf: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We were gonna have big Malia

Dotta: today.

Well, that's, this is a perfect

Elf: opportunity. Yeah. Yeah. Let me see if I can find, oh wait, there, she's

Dotta: someone asked El to talk about wizard factions. I'm not sure. Wolf. I have a chance. I'm, I'm gonna silence for the gold Skelly burn. Yeah, that was a sick burn. Oh man. Uh, that was incredible. That was, that was actually like a custom, um, like Mick, uh, Lego mago that was, uh, like a custom blue flame Skelly.[00:33:00]

Um, but the flame, the, uh, the sacred flame, well, the blue flame was no match for the sacred flame. We'll put it down by,

Elf: yeah. Yeah. Fun, fun anecdote about that one. Um, in our, the very early days in the Discord, we used to do, um, uh, trivia, uh, contests where I would just, I would just quickly type three questions, and the first three people to answer them all correct would win a custom wizard.

Yeah. Um, the discords a little too big to do that now, but that, that's how, that's how that guy won that custom wizard. Um, so anyway, um, Molly is here. Molly, can you speak? Hello? Hey guys here. Hey. Hi. Hey, hey,

Dotta: hey everyone. So, yeah, I'm Molly. Um, I. Um, the kind of, I guess, artist and designer. Uh, I do kind of like the bits and bobs here and there, um, for the team.

And, uh, let's see. I don't know. I started [00:34:00] about maybe like a month ago and, uh, yeah, it's been a really interesting ride.

Elf: Yeah, Molly is freaking awesome. I have worked with her before in other places. Um, she, she just, she's extremely talented. She draws, well, she does character design. She does background design.

She knows how to animate. She knows how to use Photoshop after effects. Maya, like she's the whole package, so, I was excited, um, when she said she, how did, how did we bring you in, Molly? I think I just posted something on Facebook or something and you saw it and answered. Yeah. It

Dotta: was basically just like in the middle of night.

I was like, I don't know, scrolling through Facebook or whatever and I'm usually never on Facebook, so it's kind of funny that like, I happen to see you post. I was gonna say like, who goes on

Elf: Facebook? Yeah. I'm never on there either. And I, I know that's why it's like super

Cult Member: weird, right? So dinosaurs. Yeah.

Dotta: Imagine I happen to, yeah. [00:35:00] I just happen to be like, Uh, kind of in between like jobs and stuff like that and was kind of trying to figure out what to do and I saw Elf Post, it was like, Hey, we're looking full-time artists. And I was like, oh man, I've worked with LP before. This sounds really cool. I have no idea what NFTs are or anything.

Um, but it sounds super fun. And yeah, so it's just been like a really interesting, fun ride of like learning about NFTs but also being a part of this particular community because like, uh, I guess I wasn't sure what I was kind of getting into, but as I've kind of like, as I've kind of like gotten into it and like tuned into the Wizard Wednesdays, I have to say.

Um, I haven't really like talked to the team about this yet, but this has been a really, really cool experience. Like this community is like way more like fun and like, um, I guess like tight-knit than I was like expecting. So it's kind of cool.

Elf: [00:36:00] Yeah. It's a, uh, it's a cult, Molly. I'm part of it now. Yes, you,

Dotta: yeah.

And to, and to, yeah, and to read sort of like the news articles that I'm coming out about, just the vitriol or against NFTs. It's just not, does not mirror our day-to-day experience

Elf: whatsoever. So it's,

Dotta: it's been really great to have you work with you, Molly. And I feel like, um, similarly, a lot of the stuff that you've been working on is kind of like in the lab, so to speak.

Like we haven't necessarily kind of shared so much of what you've created. And I think we will soon, in fact, uh, uh, El you wanted to talk a little bit about maybe some of the videos?

Elf: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, so yeah. One thing Molly is helping me with is, um, so that we, I've, I've got this idea where I want.

Okay. I, I'm a big fan of YouTube. Um, I love just like watching like low budget YouTube animation. I love short form content. Um, and so I want, I want to somehow, [00:37:00] Animate grand plan, animate every book of law entry, like a short, quick YouTube video of every book of law entry. That's the grand plan. Um, and so Molly and I are like right now trying to like, figure out like, what's the quickest way to do this?

What's the quickest way to scale this, this project? Um, and so I've, I've done things like I've gone to Fiber to see if anyone can, can make something quick, um, and cheap. And the answer so far is no, they cannot. Um, because, well, okay, side note, you know, every project there's like quality time and money. You always have to sacrifice one.

Um, And yeah, so fiber is not, like, it's not the best in, in regards to that. Um, so, so yeah, so now I'm realizing like, okay, me and Molly just need to make an example of what one of these videos could look like. Um, so Molly drew the [00:38:00] character design. She's drawing some props in it, and it's very simple, and now she's animating it.

And I did rough storyboards on it. Um, and I realized after she, she like animated my boards, I was like, okay, this is way too simple. We need more. So now Molly's drawing more and adding to it. Um, and so yeah, you know, we're, we're gonna have this one. Um, but like as far as scaling it, um, the, so I, there's like a few options on the table.

I think, um, you know, we can keep making them. Uh, I can continue to search fiber for maybe someone who can do it quick and cheap. Um, but now I'm sort of like turning this idea over in my head of, um, like going to you guys, um, to make these videos of your own book of law entries. Um, and so, but there's, there's pros and cons to this.

So the pros, as I see it, is you guys would get to make your own version. You'd be [00:39:00] in total control of all the art, the pacing, the narration, et cetera. Um, and then of course, video content is another awesome way to level up your wizards, legend stats. Um, and so like the Book of Lore, our YouTube channel would serve as a place for everyone to just come and see all the video lore content in one place.

So that's the pros. The cons is, um, you spend all this time making this video and then we put it on our channel. Um, now we are not trying to get ad revenue on these, we won't turn the ads on, so we're not trying to profit from your work, but if you give it to us, that means you wouldn't be able to put it on your own YouTube channel, and therefore you wouldn't be getting any ad revenue from that.

Um, so I totally understand. If you don't wanna spend so much time on something and then just give it to us. Um, and then another con is just, I, you know, I imagine about 90% of you don't even know how to make a video. You're not video editors and you're not [00:40:00] animators, so you wouldn't even be able to make a video anyway.

Um, yeah, I think we would kind live, like I do a hybrid,

Dotta: right? Like we would try to provide some sort of structure, I think for, for most people. Sure. And like,

Elf: you know. Yeah, yeah. No, so that's what I was gonna say. Then there, then there's like maybe a hybrid approach where. Maybe you can at least give us some art, the art assets that would be in the video, or maybe just like a recording of you reading your lore that we would use as the voiceover narration.

Yeah. Like I know Sharon would be awesome for that. Hell, maybe we hire Sharon to do a lot of 'em. Um, and then, and then we will put it into the video format. Um, and so, you know, I don't know, I, I haven't figured out the perfect way to scale this project. Um, but, but I always love all of those. Oh, go ahead. Oh, uh, just, I'll just, just to finish, um, but if this is something you're interested in, just DM me and, and we'll work something out.

So that's all I'll say for now.

Dotta: Yeah, I, I love those, [00:41:00] uh, like YouTube videos that are like, you know, Carl Pilkington or whatever, like retelling, like, like Carl reads his diary. I don't know if you guys ever watched that, where it's basically, you know, this like low, low, low-ish budget like animations where he's reading his own story and then it's kind of animated behind him.

And I would love to have like lore for that. And so I think we can, we'll we're, we are working on doing some of our own versions like that and I think, you know, what do we get the voiceover? I'm not sure I would love it anytime a wizard wants to read their own lore. That feels like most the best case scenario.

So I dunno, that's something that we're working on. I suppose this is maybe a half baked idea, but it's something that we're working

Elf: on that Yeah. Will help And, uh,

Yeah. Um, yeah. And sorry. Uh, but yeah. But yeah, that's, that's one thing that Molly is doing with us right now. Um, speaking of Molly, how is, how is the video going? Um, I haven't talked to you today about it. [00:42:00] Oh, it's going, I

Dotta: actually have some, uh, very simple boards to show you.

Elf: I can't wait. Yeah, I think it's gonna be fun actually.

Yeah. Great. Yeah, it reached a point where I was like, look, Molly, just use your own creativity and do whatever you think is best.

Cult Member: Yeah. It's a developing process right now.

Elf: Yeah, for sure. Um, yeah, and Molly's a great animator. I'm, I'm like it, these, this video's gonna be great. It's, it's dealing with a wizard that I actually own and I just wrote some lore for.

Um, so, so, yeah, we'll see. Um, and, and sorry. And then just another thing Molly did was, uh, she, she made, um, some new icons in the Discord. Um, the little roll badges or whatever. Uh, which,

Dotta: which are really great.

Elf: Cool. Let's talk a

little

Dotta: bit about like, roadmap 3.0 or maybe, I mean, I guess I think the main thing is, um, wanting to not say, so I wouldn't say that this, you know, I wanna make sure it's not like this meeting [00:43:00] is like the unveiling of Roadmap 3.0 so much is just like, it's the end of the year reflecting on kind of the things that we've accomplished this year already and looking forward to the things that we want to accomplish in the year to come.

So I think that sort of, yeah, talking about Roadmap 3.0 is more, is literally like a community discussion rather than sort of like, you know, elephant total reveal, the new roadmap. So, you know, hopefully you don't feel false advertising in that. Um, yeah, we have some, yeah, yeah. Cool. Things we're pressing on every day and we can talk some about some of that.

Elf: Well, yeah. Yeah. Let me just, let me just first start with, you know, I was, I was looking at Roadmap 2.0, um, I'm sure you've all seen it. And what's great is we've got half of it completed, which was just amazing because I remember thinking last September, I was looking at it and I was just overwhelmed with a number of things on it and I was, I didn't know how we would get them all done.

Um, this was right in the midst of me [00:44:00] doing the turnarounds, like walk Cycles hadn't even been started. I was just doing turnarounds and that was the first thing on Roadmap 2.0. Um, but yeah, fast forward three months and we've got the turnarounds, uh, the walk cycles. They're actually deployed in one Meta More to come, I hope the Book of Laura actually got released.

Thanks Doda, Niki, um, and The Great Burning, which was a huge event. It was like, it turned out way better than I thought it would be. And that's even still going on. People are still burning things. Um, so yeah, we, we did, we, you know, we got half of Roadmap 2.0 finished. We also like sprinkled in a bunch of random things that weren't even on Roadmap 2.0, like the murals and the poster campaign, the Coinbase announcement.

We did a bunch of storyboards on Twitter. Um, so yeah, we, we really got a lot done this this year. Um, there are four remaining things on Roadmap 2.0 that'll probably roll over to 3.0. Um, but they're like, they're [00:45:00] totally in production. It's not like they're, they're definitely gonna get done. Yeah. Um, these things are the, uh, the comic book in production.

So exciting. The official Forgotten Rooms Game slash meta, the animated short soon. Yep. Yep. And then Warriors Guild. Um, all of this stuff is like well into production. Um, and so, So then that said, yeah, like, like Dota was saying is like, now it's got me thinking about okay, what kinds of things are gonna appear on Roadmap 3.0?

Um, or just in more generally what are like the 2022 goals going to be. Um, you know, maybe these aren't even technically roadmap items, but just like, what are some things that I want to see in 2022? Um, and I'd be curious to hear yours Dota as well. Um, and, and, and, but then yes, like Dota said, big fat disclaimer.

Don't hold us to these at this point, I'm just freely riffing things that we might wanna do. Um, and so just on my little [00:46:00] Christmas list or whatever, um, I would love to see more of these large media expressions, like physical toys and card games and board games. Maybe even like a physical copy of the book of lore.

Um, I'm thinking a lot about how like, the animated series will be structured. Will it be like anthology style versus full arc? Um, I would love to see like more of like a full merch shop on our website. Um, anyway, Doda, do you wanna say a few things?

Dotta: Uh, Yeah. Yeah. So I think that there's, um, adding on to that, I'm thinking a lot for me, I'm thinking a lot on like, anything that's on chain.

So for example, um, the game in particular, there's quite a lot of like decisions to be made as like, um, more and more L two s are coming up. Like from the protect side is like, oh, do we use ZK sync or Starnet? And like, how can we make it? So this game feels like [00:47:00] crypto is really native, but you're not like killing yourself on gas every time you like, you know, defeat a monster.

And so how do we create incentive mechanisms so that this game is like really fun and the economy is balanced and like, um, but then it's also not just only exclusive to wizard holders that we can, like other people come in, but then at the same time, like wizards are elevated. So I'm thinking a lot about that game, the land sale, things like that.

Um, I'm also thinking quite a lot about, like, I. What are maybe some of the other on chain games that we can do that are maybe like adjacent? So like, I think Proof of Milk is a good example. I think I've had a lot of fun kind of playing Wolf Games, cheap games, wizards and dragons, like these kinds of on chain games.

Is it possible for us to, to, to do, to do some sort of like on chain play to earn like mini game? Like it's not like the full meta, right? It's like, like, like when I think of sheep, sheep games versus the meta is like completely different, right? Like, um, is it possible for us to do some other sort of like side game in the wizards [00:48:00] universe that like, you know, is fun and like doesn't crash and burn and then take everything else down with it?

Like, you're gonna see all these sheep games do, but like, so I'm thinking about these kinds of games. I dunno. Those would be a couple of ideas. Cool. I

Elf: know you have lawyers. Go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, now that we're talking about it, I'm seeing like three main directions we need to branch into.

It's like you're saying on chain, we need to like branch there. We need to branch into like traditional ip, um, territory. And then, um, I think the third branch is of course, metaverse. Um, right. And so, you know, that is gonna include things like 3D wizards, like everybody gets a 3D model of their wizard. Yeah.

Uh, to go into these 3d, um, metaverses, um, you know, that's huge. Like the metaverse strategy is crucial, uh, for any NFT project, in my opinion. It's, we're going, we gotta go beyond the PFPs. We got to like, we've got to strategize for Metaverse. Um, [00:49:00] Yep. I think, um, I th I think Zelo Soul the other day was mention, was it Zelo sold, mentioning an an I R L Wizard meetup, um, which is yes, something we're very interested in.

Bear Snake, in fact, um, has chosen the perfect spot for this. I won't mention what it is yet. I'm gonna let Bear Snake deliver that when he is ready, but it is fucking perfect. I'll just say that. Um, and, uh, and then yeah, if we, you know, we talked about it at the top of this, um, wizard Wednesday, the f Phyllis facilitate things like the Dow in more community driven

Dotta: projects.

Yeah, and I think on community, sorry, I'm actually rolling back to the Real Life meetup and when we can't meet in real life, I think we wanna do a better job about organizing, um, like community events, right? Like we mentioned a couple weeks ago, we hired some dungeon masters and played a big game of dd d and d with like the team and, uh, majors Devon was there.

And, [00:50:00] um, and we wanna like, organize more of that. Um, so that way we can just like, uh, play, play d and d together online when we can't be together. And then, um, you know, we're even trying to figure out is there a way that we can organize like, um, writing workshops, um, because I think like, this is a really special group because we're like basically a group of like professional adults who have like time and we want to like do creative writing now.

And so, um, it's funny how it's actually like a little bit difficult to get like non kind of academic writing teachers, but we wanna organize that sort of thing and where we can just get together, hang out, tell stories, create our work.

Elf: Yep. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, I mean, like touching back on the branches though, on chain ip, um, le like legacy IP strategies and then, um, meta metaverse strategies.

Um, I, I just remembered something we had. Yeah. Like community or something on there, like Yeah, sure. Um, we had a, uh, a meeting [00:51:00] with this, um, gosh, what do you call him? An IP lawyer maybe? Uh, it was, it was just, it was just like an informal chat. Um, we just kind of wanted to pick his brain and see what, what he thought about like a project like ours, namely the whole, um, component of like turning IP rights on and like flip inverting them and decentralizing them.

And it, it was, it was an interesting conversation cause I don't think he fully understood it, but also like, I don't really expect him to understand it either right away from just like a 30 minute conversation. It's, it's kind of something you have to just like, sit with and digest before you fully get the implications of it.

Um, but yeah, it's, it's, it's definitely something that I am like super interested in, just like leaning into and tripling down on this, this idea of, of decentralized ip. Um, well, and, and so, and so the reason I say this is like, because, you know, one thing he like highly recommended though was like, you know, you guys need to g [00:52:00] pivot hard into like developing just like your brand and your IP and, and you know, and that means like the animation and the comic and toys and whatever, whatever else that, that these other traditional media plays do, um, that's gonna be crucial for your growth.

And, and I totally agree so, I think, um, I think that's gonna be a big part of 2022.

Dotta: Yeah. It's like we agree in the context of like, that it's something that all of us do and all of us benefit from. Right. That it's like, like it's not in the traditional sense of like, oh, we're gonna, you know, pivot hard into, um, just toys and characters and IP in a way that's like hours, and by hours I mean like elephant dotas, but in a way that sort of like, like you said, that really focuses on this turning IP on its head, being a part of like community creation, community value approval.

Um, and so I think actually like the Dow is a really interesting, the [00:53:00] Dow is a really important piece for me as we go into this year because we need some sort of like, um, place for. These sort of things to go right. Like let's say that someone does a video game and now all of a sudden there's like royalties that need to come back to the community, like a community built game or something.

Like having the DAO is natural place for that sort of thing to happen. And so I think, you know, I don't know. That's some of the things on my mind.

Elf: Yeah, yeah. No, for sure. I, you know, I want to emphasize like, like every time I talk to one of these people, a lawyer or someone in the entertainment industry or whoever, I, I always like stress, like we are an N F T first project, like toys, movies, books, whatever we do, it's like, it's to boost value to the N NFT project.

Like we, it's, we are NFT centric. It is the core of what we do. So no matter what else we do, it's, it's meant in service to the NFTs and, and to the, to the holders of [00:54:00] those NFTs.

Dotta: I also wanna make warriors.

Elf: Oh, a hundred percent. Yeah. That's all about the world. That's, yeah. That, that's, that's what world building means.

Enchanter Orbus: Yeah. I I had one question on the IP stuff. Yeah, yeah. Um, so, uh, I had a question too, like, so when we're talking about like, the generic, um, pieces of, of the realm, like let's say just the cobalt or just the eyeball or just the flaming head, how do those, like if people want to do stuff with just those logos, how does that relate?

And maybe that's where the Dow comes in. Maybe it'll just go to the dow when, when we, when we build out maybe merchandise with just like those pieces. Cuz it's not a specific wizard. Yeah. It's just utilizing the head. And I think that stuff's really cool cause anyone can

Elf: partake.

Dotta: Yeah, exactly. So I think that like, okay, we're still working out like the lawyer Lee parts, but the way that it kind of [00:55:00] works, right?

Is that like, because we sort of, um, painted the original versions of these characters. It's really like Elf and Bear Snake and I, who sort of hold the rights to, um, like we hold these like rights to those images. And so at the moment, you know, like anything that we kind of say is okay, is okay. And um, I think one of the things that we've expressly said is if someone owns an N F T, you are able to commercialize, um, you know, that N F T, that N f T image, the character, like your lore around the character derivative works, um, as the owner.

And I think that like, as we started to realize just how big forgotten rooms could be, we realized like, It's a two-edged sword to be completely creative, common zero, right? Because you could, so for example, have some bigger brand come in and take over the community, take over the ip, take over the story, um, [00:56:00] and not include us or even the community or anything.

And so I think really the caps that any of the caps that we put in place, it's, it's trying to like prevent some sort of like takeover from a bigger entity than us. So, uh, what I'm getting is, um, and then in, so we'll have a blanket license. That's like if you audit an N F T, you can do a commercial right up to like whatever, some millions of dollar limit, um, to your character and derivative works.

And we also, there's also a third path, right? The third path is like you just talk to us and we say it's okay. And like if you need sort of like a legal document, right? That you are, like for example, you know you're doing some brand deal and they need like legal protection to the IP rights. We're happy to do that, right?

Like if, if you need some custom license, Um, to do like Magic eight Ball Orbis eyes, and like your manufacturer won't print them until you have that license. Like, I'll write you that license right now. You know, like, and like [00:57:00] super happy to do it and excited to make that happen. So I think. It's maybe a little ad hoc right now, and we'll get it buttoned down, but it'll always kind of be that case, which is sort of like we, as the creators can create whatever we want.

We can go to Netflix and make the whole show about all of the characters, and then you'll be surprised and hopefully delighted when you see your wizard on screen. That's our, like our intention two, we'll have a blanket, right, for owners to do derivative works. That's up to some like millions of dollar cap.

Um, after that cap. You can still do it, but it gives some royalty back to the community in some way. And then the third option is like, um, happy to do custom sort of licenses for people who we feel are gonna take the IP properly. And like, you don't, maybe there's no cap whatsoever, right? We're just like, yeah, you do Orbis Magic eight balls, you don't even owe anybody anything.

Just make it, we're just happy for those to exist. Like we could write that you that license. So that's kind of like the state of the, of the moment.

Elf: Yep. [00:58:00] Um, so it is one minute till, and I know we had a Laura share that we wanted to get in.

Dotta: Yeah, it was from, I

Elf: think, right? Oh, yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah.

Uh, you want me? Are are you ready?

Enchanter Orbus: Oh, I, I'm, yeah, I'm quite ready. All right.

Okay. So, so I'm good to go here. Absolutely.

Elf: Go for it In Orbis. Alright,

Enchanter Orbus: waiting. We're going. We're gonna take a look, uh, a little look into the, into the life of Orbis here. So, alright, here we go.

There's a small room, and in this room there's a desk with parchment pens and an everlasting lantern. There are no windows. There's no door. A young woman paces the length of the [00:59:00] chamber, back and forth, back and forth. She is alive, but has no breath, no heartbeat, no hunger, and she does not thirst. She is thinking, but more significantly she She's dreaming.

She's dreaming the endless dream, the dream that is now her reality for she is always asleep and so she is always dreaming and this room is her home. And where for me, she works. The source of her work are potions materializing spontaneously, like those enchanted elixirs for Alice in their wonderland.

They are bottled emotions and experiences labeled and consumed in measure for varying effects, including in part from a non-exhaustive list, joy. Love, wonder, sadness, anger, horror, despair, war, murder, zoo, morphism, metamorphosis, occult, transfiguration, [01:00:00] spiritual transcendence, mystical worlds, cosmic exploration, the infinite reaches of science and times in end, times in theoral realm, end times in the infernal realm and nothingness.

These are but a glimpse of the unending supply of feelings, adventures, misadventures and ethereal existences that I supply for, for my employee of slumber. Then she writes, she pulls back the layers of the chimerical, arcane and compiles them in a compendium of Fanta Tamal Odyssey, written in Dream and Read.

Only in Dream, or in my case, read from Dream to me by transmission of the appropriate inter intermediary, the one who is of dreams. If there are those that are always asleep, then in contrast, as would be logically conjectured, there are those that are always awake and then does it not make sense if those that are always awake would rely on those that are always asleep for certain accoutrements of the unknown?[01:01:00]

This is my need for I am the eminent wizard of vision. The eye that is forever opened, forever seen, trapped in the storm of perpetual cognizance. Vision is more than what is in the line of sight. It is the future, the past, the infinite, infinite horizon. It is inner reflection and the depth of the soul, and it is dream.

I use vision to decipher the threads of time and space and conjure interpretations of what may come to be. I create illusions to fool and weave fortunes to guide. I can see almost everything, but it cannot see into dream. To nullify this inadequacy and master the full spectrum of vision required for my divinations and cross dimensional exploits, I have bridged the gap between the waking world and the domain of respite, unionizing consciousness, and subconsciousness into a cerebral minesh shaft of my most profound extrapolation.

The woman in [01:02:00] the room is my conduit to the network of omens roaming the pathways beyond the reach of the traditional mind. Without the peace of vision, she bequeaths me. I would not be able to compete with those cosmic forces that swim and pray across the fringes of dark energy and the voids between matter.

She not only dreams for me, but she is always with me protected under the en soled floorboards of the weird house with her head encase in the perforated and protected, dried out shell of one of my astral snail familiars deceased brethren. I can openly reveal these details because she is in no danger of kidnapped.

No one will ever find her. But it helps my visions knowing that others have knowledge. She is there and cannot entertain her. That is my greatest spell, my Herzberg's Horo. Copy. Look into my eye and weep at your reflection. I see you. I see you in the womb. I see you in the crib and on the bed and in the grave.

I cast [01:03:00] you into perfect light and take you into the most daunting darkness. I am a big gross eyeball. I am en chanter Orbis, and I have not forgotten the wounds. I always see them.

Elf: Yes. Wow. Yes. Wow.

Cult Member: Dude, you are the voice of Enchanted Orbis for sure.

Elf: Oh man, dude. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, like first of all, your voice.

Is, um, it needs to be like recorded and used. Yeah. Um, yeah, for, for things.

Dotta: Yeah. Um, I'd love to, yeah.

Elf: And then I, I, I don't know why, but I, I just got this feeling that, like the story you were telling it gave me, like, this is, this is, this is gonna sound weird. It gave me like this vibe, it's a cross between Tim Burton and, um, HP Lovecraft.

And I've, I've never like seen [01:04:00] that mashup. It seems like an obvious mashup, but this is like the first time I've, I've like, felt it.

Enchanter Orbus: Well, that, that kind of makes sense because I love CS Lewis, which is kind of more Tim Burn and then, uh, Lovecraft as well. And so those are my inspirations. So I guess this kind of blends together.

That's

Elf: that's great, man. Yes. So good. Yeah. Okay. I mean, this is like, I, I hope when we do our YouTube video of, of your Lord, you narrate it cuz that was awesome.

Enchanter Orbus: Thank you. That's fun. I was so glad I was, got to, got to write some for you guys and share it.

Elf: Very cool, man. Thank you so much. Thank you. Yeah.

Alright. All right. We, uh, that was a perfect ending
