Editing Suleiman bin Daoud (section)

===Background===
Suleiman created his eponymous [[Seal of Solomon|Seal]], bargaining with and challenging powerful Others and having them impose the Seal on other Others in turn.<ref name="book" /> (This may be the same great gathering of "all the forces of the world... Gods, incarnations, and other powers" that established the current rules of magic referenced in [[Black Lamb's Blood]].)<ref>At some point in history, all the forces of the world gathered, recognizing that there could only be chaos if they continued fighting amongst themselves.  Gods, incarnations, and other powers realized that with the power they could each bring to bear, certain actions couldn’t be permitted.  Trust was impossible to maintain.<br><br>Laws were set in place.  Those same laws are the ones that a practitioner agrees to abide by, in order to broker access to what lies beyond the curtain. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/04/05 Excerpt] from [[Black Lamb's Blood]], quoted in [[Interlude 4]]</ref>

The Seal/bargains Solomon created formed the basis of the modern system of [[Awakening]] (many Awakening rituals still use [[Suleiman bin Daoud|Suleiman]]'s original language),<ref>“Suleiman Bin Daoud took the first steps to establishing a new relationship between human and Other,” Miss said.  “A lasting compact between human and Other.  There are forms of this ritual where we recite old words in your language and in Suleiman’s.  There are forms where we conduct old traditions.  At the heart of it, however, lies an invitation.  For you to join our world, and for us to cooperate with you in interacting with the world of man.  Would you invite us in, Verona, Avery, and Lucy?”  - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/05/12 Excerpt] from [[Lost for Words 1.2]]</ref> concomitantly setting forth the modern system of [[Innocence]].<ref name=":1">“I did.  The trick is to realize your strengths.  We’re newcomers.  The Solomon whatsit doesn’t apply.  We have access to anyone we want to go after, innocent or otherwise, see?”<br><br>“It’s a little more complicated than that.”<br><br>“Far more,” he said.  “Far, far more.  Usual protections might not apply, but the universe will protect innocents in a roundabout way.<br><br>“Something like that,” I said. <br>[...]<br>Innocents have some protections, the universe will contrive to shield them, but if you can leave a lasting ''mark'', that’s worth a fair bit.” - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/08/19 Excerpt] from [[Mala Fide 10.2]]</ref>

According to [[Miss]], he was ultimately [[forsworn]], unable to follow the very rules he had set.<ref>“Solomon was forsworn in the end.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/07/31/false-moves-12-z/ Exceprt] from [[False Moves 12.z]]</ref>
