The Page of Suns

" Lost something essential? Like a hollow shell without the filling, or you lose a bit of soul and something else takes its place and plugs into the stuff the soul would."

The Page of Suns is a powerful Lost that appears to those connected to the paths when they're about to acheive something unprecedented or when their about to fall victim to the Paths.<ref>The Page of Suns is theorized to appear when someone approaches the unprecedented or when one is about to fall victim to the Paths. The unprecedented action may be an action with wide-reaching implications, a discovery, a record, or a force defeated.- Excerpt from 100 Years Lost</ref>

Relationships

He warned Hazel that he knew of many Lost that would promise to bring her daughter back but none that he would advice her to take.

Appearance

He dress in blue clothing with his colar and lapel painted sku blue with clouds and the rest of him a darker blue dotted with stars.<ref>He was dressed mostly in blues, with lapels and collar painted with the clouds and blues of a sunny midday, but the remainder of his coat, vest, and pants were the dark blue of an evening sky, sparkling with studs to mark the stars.- Excerpt from 100 Years Lost</ref> Instead of a head he has a brilliant orb of fire that emanates great heat. He carries a steel mask of a sun painted in chipped orange and yellow, it has overly large teath and eye holes.<ref>His head was absent, and in its place was a glaring orb of fire, many times brighter than at torch. Tongues of flame did regularly curl away from that sphere and failed to ignite what they touched, but they most certainly were hot. I stood nowhere close to him yet I was forced to lean away from him to avoid allowing the heat to singe my skin, and the appearance of a tongue of flame in my direction gave me but a moment’s notice to expect the wash of hot air. When we stood so far apart a quaint home could be placed between us without us having to step out of the way, no less!

He bowed slightly upon seeing me, and as he rose to a standing position he withdrew a decorated disc from within his coat jacket and doffed it as a mask. It was a sun, steel painted in chipped, gay orange and yellow. The front sported two eyeholes and a wide smile with many overlarge but ordinary teeth. The sun’s rays were mounted at the disc’s edges, each one bent into wavy lines with sharp points. No string tied that mask to the front of his neckless head, yet it stubbornly remained in place. The heat of the metal was sufficient to make the thinnest parts of the painted metal mask glow bright.- Excerpt from 100 Years Lost</ref>

His appearance always stays the same.<ref name=":0">When discussing the Architect theory of the Paths and the variations on that theory, the Page of Suns often appears. He may appear on many Paths, separate from the rules, always male with the sun motif, and the demeanor Hazel describes here. When so many things on the Paths are subject to the eye of the beholder, the Page of Suns almost always has the same mask. - Excerpt from 100 Years Lost</ref>

Abilities

He can appear on a path outside of the rules of that path, those that accompany him will be exempted from the rules of that path during their discussion.<ref>“We’ll do without. You can think of it as me having a special pass. It includes people who are with me.”- Excerpt from Gone and Done It 17.10</ref> Seems to be able to know the contents of ones head, not necessarily read ones mind, though when someone actually expresses a thought it can come together in a way he can not naturally anticipate.<ref>“If you like. You’ve been putting your thoughts about the places you explore to paper from the beginning. Tell me your thoughts.”

“Don’t you know my thoughts?”

“I might know what’s in your head, but in the process of explaining, especially in an important moment, you may consolidate thoughts in a way that I wouldn’t be able to simply know, by looking at you.”

“That’s a little spooky.”

“Try talking it out. I don’t expect the right answer, but perhaps we’ll meet again, and you’ll have thought about it some more. Realms, if you wish.”
[...]
“I think I did mostly okay, then I brought up some stuff I’d been thinking about, I might’ve given him the wrong impression.”

“He’s omniscient, I think. I think he got exactly the right impression.”

“Pretty sure he’s ‘scient. That’s different.”

“Huh.” - Excerpt from Gone and Done It 17.10</ref> Can act as a guide to places and give shortcuts.

He is a prominent figure in the Architech Theory of the Paths, appearing on most lists.<ref name=":0" />

Chronology

History

He appeared to Hazel after she spent thirty-six years and twenty-six days in the paths, becoming the longest person to walk a path without dying or becoming Lost.<ref>It is the understanding of the practitioner community, supported by some scrying and other details, on making it to year thirty-six, day seventy-six, Hazel becomes the one free practitioner who has spent the longest time on the Paths. This of course emphasizes the free part of that, as many others have been stuck on the Paths, unable to progress or leave an area, and it emphasizes the label practitioner, as yet more practitioners have become something Other and thus no longer qualify as practitioners. - Excerpt from 100 Years Lost</ref>

Traveled with Hazel when she went to the Construction, an important part of the Paths.

Undated events

Has met members of Wonderkand, and didn't like what he heard.

Aftermath

He appeared to Miss during her meeting with Lis, Maricica and Edith.<ref>She hadn’t realized she’d made a decision until the Page of Suns had come to mark it. - Excerpt from 100 Years Lost</ref>

He later appeared to Avery after she went to the paths to help Miss create a new Kennet. He talked to her about the nature of the Paths and gave her a test, asking her how she thought "it" all fitted together. She initially did well but then faltered.<ref>- Excerpt from Gone and Done It 17.10</ref>
