# The Fulcrum Lenses ## Description Four magical lenses that were part of [[The Gauntlight]] installation. According to [[Zarmavdian]], [[Belcorra]] was installing these lenses as the last part of The Gauntlight when [[The Roseguard]] attacked. The lenses were supposed to focus something, but The Roseguard did not know what they were meant to focus. ## History - **Day 76**: Mentioned by Zarmavdian's clone as part of Belcorra's plans for The Gauntlight - The lenses were being installed when The Roseguard attacked Belcorra - Their exact purpose remains unknown to The Roseguard members - **Day 78** ([[113_20260411 Breaking the Binding of an Assassin]]): [[Morlibinth]] shared that [[Vol Rajani|Vol]]'s accounts confirm [[The Roseguard]] interrupted [[Belcorra]] while she was placing the **fourth** Fulcrum Lens—meaning three had already been installed - **Wrin's Vision**: [[Wrin Sivinxi]] saw a vision of a two-headed, seven-legged dog carrying a **black** Fulcrum Lens in its jaws, chasing her until she escaped into an open curved sky - **Nhimbaloth Connection**: The party speculated the lenses may be connected to summoning [[Nhimbaloth]]; [[Vandy Banderdash]] confirmed Nhimbaloth's name appears frequently in auguries and nightmares - **Day 80** ([[118_20260531 I'm Still Looking]]): The soul-gem eye's memories revealed [[Volluk Azrinae|Volluk]]'s research on the lenses. He ran a test **22 times** and a persistent variance remained — the projection collapses at operational range due to a **material flaw** in the lenses. His verdict: *"Variance acceptable. Output superior. Do not attempt to correct the flaw. The flaw is load-bearing."* The imperfection is what makes the projection work, so Volluk refuses to fix it - **The hound's identity confirmed**: The two-headed, seven-legged dog from Wrin's vision is a [[Hound of Tindaloth]]. The eye recorded it (displaced into a four-legged form) prowling Volluk's workshop, tying the lens-carrying dog of the vision to a real, time-hunting creature ## Related - [[The Gauntlight]] - [[Belcorra]] - [[The Roseguard]] - [[Zarmavdian]]
