Overview

Algamest, also described as the Mistress of the Thread, is a Deity in Midrathian mythology, and is said to have woven a great web across the skies of Alca.^[1]^[2]

Lore

The lore of the

Oro’s Ranger

^[4] Prism and the history of Salzbrim Port^[5] implies that the "Great Weave" created by Algamest may be considered a literal weave of fate or web of stars in Midrathian mythology. For Oro was taught to read this weave by his father,

Iridis

- and is described as "half god, half sibyl". A sibyl is described as a sage or oracle, implying that the all-seeing Oro may be revered for his ability to see not only all that happens - but perhaps all that fate shall ordain.^[1]

Algamest may bear some connection to the 'Great Spyder' worn upon

Empress Alora's

head, due to the shared themes of prophetism and spiders' webs: "May your sword find respect. Or once more, my neck? The great Spyder will tell."^[6]

Almagest may also be connected to a unique language; Spyderlect, a curse-d speech that was recorded within the Pensives' tomes. Recited words often act as spells, allowing one to even extend their lifespan.

Trivia

Algamest was originally named Almagest before her name was changed in Preludes 13, with the release of Mistress of the Thread.
- Almagest is the name of a 2nd-century mathematical and astronomical treatise, written by Roman mathematician and astronomer Claudius Ptolemy on the apparent motions of the stars and planetary paths.

↑ "Draw Spirit and Grace both from the constellation Oro. The first child of Iridis was born half god, half sibyl. When the moon walked the world as man, he taught his son to see Algamest's great weave. Oro's eye sees all." - Oro’s Ranger Virtue Prism
↑ "We met at dusk on the docks. To grant Iridis his passing, said she, a welcome word from dark sea to sky. On a new moon, said I, there'd be nothing to see. But she liked to watch the stars blotted out. Dripping dew off Algamest's web" - Salzbrim Histories
