Patrem is one of the main antagonists of Johnisdead. Being the Ascended spirit of Hank Hubbard, the founder of the Lunar Children, Patrem holds many forces at his command. Though he has many powerful abilities such as the ability to manipulate time and memories, he still often finds himself trapped within the bodies of others and uses them as hosts, such as with Vincent Adams and Greth.

Story

Patrem is the ascended spirit of Hank Hubbard. He came into existence on April 23rd, 2002 when Hank was killed and inadvertently ascended by his adopted son Mat. This same event also resulted in the creation of Hank's transcended self, Kelbris. As an ascended spirit, Patrem carried on his duties of leading the Lunar Children as "Father". It is assumed that Patrem would mainly communicate with and issue commands to the cult from the Paralellos through Listening Devices.

In early 2011, Patrem would occasionally communicate with Max on the Within Hubris Forums. He eventually managed to lure him to a park when Max and his family visited Florida. Here, Patrem abducted Max. Max's soul was later absorbed by Tenebris and fused with Ben's to create the entity known as Drowned. Months later on Undecim Nocte 2011, Patrem oversaw Kevin's ascension into Regiminis. However, this ceremony went awry when Drowned escaped Tenebris's control. As a result, John was somehow killed as a result of the ascension, resulting in him inadvertently becoming Regiminis's conduit. Before Regiminis could properly utilize John's spirit, it was stolen by Tenebris, who used him as a replacement for Drowned. This chaos also damaged Patrem, who became trapped within the body of Vincent Adams.

Patrem had limited control while within Vincent, only able to freely move about by controlling Vincent whenever he fell asleep. Patrem's presence also resulted in Vincent suffering from insomnia and amnesia, meaning he was unaware of his history with the cult and Patrem's existence. Despite being trapped within Vincent, Patrem was still able to occasionally commune with the Lunar Children. In 2013, SKM attempted to kill Patrem by trapping his spirit on a laptop and destroying the device. This was unsuccessful, however, as Patrem later manifested unharmed.

On February 19th, 2015, Patrem joined the Within Hubris Forums and began contacting the players. Here, he would occasionally give them cryptic advice while taunting their efforts. On April 4th, Patrem attended the Blood Moon Ritual, where the Lunar Children contacted him via a listening device before sacrificing a new recruit in Luna's honor. On February 20th, Patrem threatened Drowned, who had contacted the players on Skype. This happened again on May 14th, though this time it resulted in Patrem losing some of his energy. It was later revealed that SKM intentionally used Drowned as bait to cause Patrem to over-exert himself, giving SKM and the players an opportunity to speak a few days later. Patrem soon returned, however, chasing SKM off of the forums.

On May 21st, SKM contacted the players on Within Hubris once again. Patrem threatened SKM, but he was still weakened. SKM used this opportunity to "cut up" Patrem's spirit and trap him in the "/key592" directory on Johnisdead.com. This was only temporary, however. On June 9th, the players attempted to explain everything that was going on to Tyler. Unfortunately, Patrem interfered with their efforts, blocking all of their proof from being seen by Tyler. The next day, Patrem confirmed this was his doing and taunted the players further. On August 4th, Patrem had a conversation with Tenebris on Within Hubris, during which he suggested that Tenebris give up John's spirit, as Regiminis was growing impatient. Here, Tenebris revealed that he would release John's spirit in exchange for Ben's, though Patrem replied that Ben's spirit was currently even out of his own reach.

On Undecim Nocte 2015, the players were able to rescue Tyler from the cult's grasp, foiling their plans. On March 1st, 2016, Patrem announced that the Lunar Children would have a second opportunity to capture Tyler on April 23rd, 2016. This plan went awry as well, however, and the Lunar Children were unable to capture Tyler. On the night of April 23rd, Patrem was mysteriously removed from Vincent's body and "pulled into" some other location. This occurred shortly before the Cataclysm destroyed The Spire and most of the Lunar Children.

Patrem was not heard from again until October 11th, 2018 when it was revealed that he was now housed within Greth's body. When exactly Greth came into contact with Patrem is unknown, though over the course of the previous year, Patrem's presence had been causing him a great deal of insomnia. After the players put Greth to sleep through the submission of the "Goron Lullaby", Patrem gained full control of Greth. Patrem then proceeded to confront Tyler on April 23rd, 2019, chasing him into the Parallelos via the Detour Sign.

What happened to Patrem after this is currently unknown. He seems to have become awakened of the true nature of the world at some point, now being guided under a "master" of sorts - likely Synchron.

Personality

Most of the time, Patrem carries himself very highly, speaking in a grandiose fashion as he boasts of his power while taunting the players. Despite this, there are times where he acts more cordially while interacting with them. Since his resurgence on Within Hubris in 2020 after supposedly meeting Synchron, however, he speaks much more humbly and in a more cryptic fashion.

Patrem

Delving deeper into madness after changing the book he moved the pages and hid them in the bindings of "Something people would least expect to observe my secrets in" as he said. The cover is not the original one that bound the pages like the symbols that mask the spirit of the works in these spheres. Gifted with the holy lunacy, his persuit for her shaped the world around him. The reality of the board is malleable, anyone gifted like that can will what they want. I wonder what will caused his son to come out as a story character?

Alternate Incarnations

Other timeline versions of Patrem.

Astral Patrem seems to be fairly similar to this version of himself up until around 2017. For some unknown reason, Patrem was never housed within Astral Greth's body like he was with Prime Greth.

2/20/15 - Chat with Patrem - Within Hubris (JiD Thread)

/Patrem\ 3:27 AM: "Now that I have stabilized myself in this plane I can take a moment to explain. You think yourselves detectives, and yet you fail time and time again at the most simple of tasks. That child only seeks to mislead you. I have been watching you, you frightened sniveling children. You lack patience and you lack courage. Why should I even begin to help you when you can’t even stay on the path laid plain before you?"
ADULT_LINK 3:42 AM: "Which child?"
/Patrem\ 3:48 AM: "Fool, the one who had you all cowering in fear. Mortals are all the same, cowering idiots. If not for our mutual needs I would waste no time with you ignorant children."
Mugen Kagemaru 3:58 AM: "A name, smartass. Give their name. You might think yourself clever, but assuming we know who you speak of when we don't doesn't get us anywhere."
Mugen Kagemaru 3:58 AM: "Patrem: "Mortals are all the same, cowering idiots.""
Mugen Kagemaru 3:58 AM: "True of them as that might be, it doesn't help if you make assumptions."
Mugen Kagemaru 3:58 AM: "Patrem: "If not for our mutual needs I would waste no time with you ignorant children.""
Mugen Kagemaru: 3:58 AM: "Nor would we give even you the time of day if we didn't have anything else to work with. Show some gratitude and take our limits into account."
/Patrem\ 4:34 AM: ((A disturbing audio file is posted. This file contains the "Song of Unhealing" along with a voice repeating the name "Ben" and "You already know"))

Summary

• Patrem is now able to speak more clearly, likely a result of the players submitting "Epona's Song". He proceeds to taunt the players for failing repeatedly. He also states that Drowned is indeed Ben and that they wish to mislead the players.

Tell the children precisely what I have told you now; What is the song that makes mother cry? Speak it then move to the fourth. Wqafi lps bpv npy dfza wyrraamam; You all have 1 hour, and remember, I am watching"

Spirkiroid 9:39 PM: "hey dude can we get a selfie"
/Patrem\ 9:44 PM: "Do you think you are worthy of my visage, child?"
Mugen Kagemaru 9:47 PM: "Hah. Ha ha, funny. Come now. Don't be shy. That's my girlfriend's department."
Stevey 9:48 PM: "A majority of us have contributed to this avertion of chaos. Found multiple truths and therefore aided you in your work... so yes... or alternatively... don't be shy!"
Rafal 9:53 PM: "And if you think us not worthy of your visage, you still have deemed us at least somewhat worthy of your time based upon your actions. If you decline to show, perhaps you could still do us the honor of telling us something."
ihatesigningupforstufflikethis 10:00 PM: "patrem i bet yr cute"
GreyouTT 10:01 PM: "WELL, WELL, WELL. You actually posted. Now that you're here, I think it's time we got some things out in the open. For example, you seem to be sticking to PMs quite a bit there my inter-dimensional friend. Why so secretive?"
/Patrem\ 10:40 PM: "You have all amused me greatly. So despite requesting in such a childish manner, I may grant you the privilege of a glimpse at my current form. However, this may take time, as capturing and sending a depiction of it from where I currently dwell is a task of great complexity. Just as the method in which I dwell is that of complexity, and often is the cause of disrepair in electrical devices. All this aside, is there anything you request at this time children, or shall I return to my work?"
Archery 10:45 PM: "Hey Patrem, Why do you keep ignoring my PMs? Am I asking the wrong questions?"
Stevey 10:51 PM: "On what we believe is Helper's channel "M" on Youtube.. there was a shadow at the end of his latest video, do you know what it is?"
Archery 10:59 PM: "Also, what are demons and how do you become one? Can you stop being one?"
/Patrem\ 11:03 PM: "Shadow's come in many forms child. Maybe your primative eyes misinterpreted unimiportant information as something of siginificance. Also chide me not should I be sans response of your tedious masked requests, I give each deep observation prior to action. However those that needn't require said observation to begin with often do not warrant my attention for I am quite busy and time truly is finite, even for one such as I."
Stevey 11:07 PM: "I said this as a joke to my friends in our chat a few moments ago... ... how did you...?"
GreyouTT 11:12 PM: "What is the group attempting to do at the Fishery? What exactly do they plan to do with Doug?"
Oceanstuck 11:13 PM: "im here guys. hello ok i have a quick question. what are the defining characteristics of a demon? shits come up a bit in a few conversations and i think we should probably get that sorted out"
/Patrem\ 11:48 PM: "I am always watching you brats, for it is unwise to leave children unattended. As for the place of worship, my children are simply attempting to better themselves for the coming times. As for douglas, I have stated before what shall become of him is unchangeable as I have spoken previously and I have no reason to speak of what is currently happening to him, so I shall not."
/Patrem\ 11:13 PM: "I know nothing of these "Demons" of which you speak. Why must you pry me of such foolish imaginings, what next? Shall you beseech me of the monsters beneath the place in which you rest?"
Mugen Kagemaru 11:53 PM: "Someone talked about demons and we're asking in case it becomes relevant. Better to look into red herrings than to ignore the right trail when it's revealed."
((Patrem begins quoting players' messages from Skype and responding to them in his posts. These quoted messages will be italicized.))
/Patrem\ 12:35 AM: "Since Patrem is the leader of the cult we should capture him"
/Patrem\ 12:35 AM: "I would be delighted if you would speak more of these grandiose propositions. Please, if you honestly believe you carry knowledge not of my own understanding, do enlightened me. For surely you and your fellow "Detectives" are supremely powerful beings that I should not trifle with."
/Patrem\ 12:35 AM: ((A distorted audio file is posted))
Stevey 1:00 AM: "We're the most powerful thing since god my friend. We clearly have no need of these petty games..."
Archery 1:02 AM: "Ignore his insolence, forgive us father, for we have sinned..."
GreyouTT 1:08 AM: "Good to know higher beings are still capable of sarcasm. But since you asked, I'll tell you: We may not be powerful beings, but you should never count us out. We have a power of our own."
/Patrem\ 1:29 AM: "Then try and wield this power child, see what it gets you in return. If you have some plan to "catch" me, I would be most pleased to see you execute it."
GreyouTT 2:05 AM: "Tempting, but I think we'll save that for later. For now though, I think it's time us detectives fell off of your radar for a while."
GreyouTT 2:05 AM: ((The "Stone Mask" and "Gibdo Mask" are both submitted))
/Patrem\ 2:38 AM: "Do you think you have sort of control over me? Do you even understand the power you attempt to wield? Look upon your foe, and kneel."
/Patrem\ 2:38 AM: ((Patrem posts a photo of himself though it is incredibly distorted))
Stevey 2:46 AM: "More Technical issues.. huh?"
Archery 4:39 AM: "My word, you're the only handsomest ethereal entity I have ever set my eyes on, what a lovely complexion you have!"
/Patrem\ 4:50 AM: "My true intent was to show you the form I currently reside in. However the power radiated from my own presence, and the complexity of delivering such a thing to this place resulted in showing nothing more than my essence, and some scrambled remains. Pity, the sight of my form would have sent you all into quite a bit of turmoil."
Archery 4:52 AM: "Is the face found in the bottom right corner a remnant of the original image?"
/Patrem\ 4:54 AM: "Yes child."
Archery 4:56 AM: "Apologies about the comments earlier regarding capturing you. On a more serious note, is there any way we can contact Mason, or could you kindly put us in contact with him?"
/Patrem\ 5:05 AM: "I found it quite amusing, as it always is, but most certainly it is when you think you can use your toys on me."
Archery 5:10 AM: "Amusing it might be, but the statement is true, isn't it. You aren't asking us to cower in fear or kneel before you unlike before. If you do not mind, could you answer a few questions we have, including the prior question?"
Helix 5:12 AM: "Previously I've messaged you a couple of questions though I wasn't sure if it was something you could answer. In /notes, it is said that two of us must die. Is there a reason for this 'sacrifice'? What exactly is "her will"? Is /notes written by doug or you? And, if I may boldly ask again, are you against or for the idea of humans like us ascending?"
/Patrem\ 5:20 AM: "I will answer but one final question, I have many things I must attend to and have no time for the incessant babbling of children."
Archery 5:26 AM: "How can we can contact Mason ourselves? If we are unable to, could you kindly put us in contact with him?"
/Patrem\ 5:35 AM: "Mason is a foolish child, there is no need for you to contact him. However I shall tell you that he is currently within his own residence. There is more to know of him, but it shall surely come to you in time, you are not infants and I shan't spoon feed you. Now I shall depart, as this child shall soon awaken and I still have tasks to address."

Summary

• Patrem begins responding to messages from the players that were being sent in Skype, despite not being there himself. He claims that Doug cannot be saved. Patrem also boasts that the players' powers have no effect on him.

/Patrem\ 12:18 AM: "Falsehood of ones life is to say that I shall render ones status of living to now be false, as yours shall soon be, and in the most terrible ways imaginable should you continue to act as though your position with me is any different than the other children.

3/17/15 - Patrem's Bedtime Story - Within Hubris (PM's)

Yes child, sleep is a very important thing for your kind. So I shall tell you the tail of another who also has trouble sleeping. There once was a child who was quite curious, he was surrounded by children and yet, it was not enough for him. So he sought the company of others. Through trials and tribulations he found sanctuary in their communion, however he lost sight of the other children, his own name and even his self. But his new family loved him very much, so his father decided to give him a name. Vincent, and before he knew it he was a very responsible man. He was to oversee all of the children in his father’s home when his father was away. However one night, father saw that one of his children had become quite grand. This child was to come and see his father so that he might be told the secrets that only father may know. But two terrible children, who must not be spoken of, one flying, one simply screaming, had come and interfered. Luckily the grand child had still done what was needed on that night, but their father was displaced. He was hurt, that children would fuss in such a time of glory. But Vincent was a good boy, he gave his father refuge. But the event was much to bare, and Vincent had forgotten once again who his family truly was. This all kept Vincent awake, always awake, and his father can do no work, if Vincent is always awake and crying as though he is still simply another child. Now you must rest, for sleep is a very important thing for your kind. I may be able to go on without such a time wasting practice, but neither you nor Vincent can.

Summary

• Patrem retells Vincent's story of joining the Lunar Children, becoming a host for Patrem on Undecim Nocte 2011, and losing his memories.

Eve 11:27 PM: "Patrem, is there anything we can do to aid you? Or is there something that we've overlooked?"
Stevey 11:28 PM: "It seems Patrem is unwilling to talk of the identity of this Grey Man. .... we should use this time to ask something vital before Patrem leaves.."

Mugen Kagemaru 2:13 AM: "Will you permit the child to converse with us?"
/Patrem\ 2:26 AM: "I can feel him awakening so I may have no choice. However before I depart, I wish to clear up a prior confusion that I found most aggravating. Vincent and Douglas are two separate children, also Ibfda fd awakened"

Mugen Kagemaru 2:43 AM: "This... is a place of gathering, really. Um, what can you tell us about where you are?"
GreyouTT 2:45 AM: "It's a forum yo. You feeling alright?"
/Patrem\ 2:50 AM: "I'm really confused, I don't know who you are or what this website is. But the last thing I remember is going to sleep in my room, and now it looks like I am in my local park. I am feeling kinda of weird and my head hurts. Who are you people and do you know anything about this?"
Eve 2:52 AM: "We are the Internet Detectives. What's your name?"
/Patrem\ 2:54 AM: "Why should I tell you my name? What the fuck is going on!?"
Mugen Kagemaru 2:54 AM: "Um, Eve? Don't we already know his name? Anyway, some unusual things have come up regarding a group with a thing for the moon. Is there anything you can tell us about that while you make your way home?"
/Patrem\ 3:01 AM: "A thing for the moon? Thats a shame, there is no moon in the sky tonight. But I don't know anything about this group. Do you know why I am sitting here with this page open in my night clothes in the middle of my local park at night?"
GreyouTT 3:01 AM: "Well this is going to take some explaining. Well not the park thing, not sure about that part, but the rest of it we can explain. Well kind of. You see it's very complicated, you may want to sit down if you aren't already. If anything, you may or may not want to look back at your post history."
/Patrem\ 3:03 AM: "Wait... HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW MY NAME!?"
Mugen Kagemaru 3:04 AM: "You don't know anything? That's odd... Why would that one choose you, then...? As Grey implied, we do have an explanation for your little mystery, but we fear it won't exactly be... ... ah... how would you people put it... ...believeable? Yes, there we go. We fear you won't believe us. (Addendum) As for your name... well, someone told us."
GreyouTT 3:14 AM: "Yes well the name thing is I admit, suspicious, and you are no doubt confused by what is going on. But right now I think you should be focusing on why you are in the park right now. Now, could you describe your surroundings, do you see anything out of the ordinary that does not involve pajamas."
Mugen Kagemaru 3:17 AM: "*facepalm* Grey... Anything odd that doesn't involve pajamas or the fact that total strangers over the Internet just happen to know your name?"
/Patrem\ 3:21 AM: "I have no idea where my phone is, and the lights in the park were all flickering for a few moments when I woke up. I recall having it in my hand before I fell asleep. I have no idea why I would be in the park but I am about to head home, when I leave the park there will be no wifi until I get back to my house."
Mugen Kagemaru 3:27 AM: "OK, before you go, could you clear something up for us? The person who told us your name, they also said you helped a person who was like a father figure to you when something went wrong. Can you tell us anything about that?"
/Patrem\ 3:35 AM: "My father is dead, I don't have any father figures and I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. I am gonna go before someone steals my shit. Some little kid just walked up to me, like this young kid and just asked me if the "Purple man" is gone now, crying and shit. Fuck this, fuck everything about this, fuck you guys, fuck whoever the purple man is. I am going home now. Fuck this."

4/4/15 - Chat with Patrem - Within Hubris (JiD Thread)

/Patrem\ 4:29 PM: "No mortal can go without rest."
Eve 5:04 PM: "Indeed, your host was quite upset the last time he awoke."
Stevey 5:15 PM: "I find it odd we do something to find a "friend" and you return to us..."
/Patrem\ 5:21 PM: "He is a fool, and in his time has become a detriment to my plans. He will now know nothing of what has transpired however. Despite his best efforts to keep archive of what he learned."
Helix 5:27 PM: "What of Doug? He is a fool now too?"
Eve 5:32 PM: "That would be a very wise idea. He'd be too bewildered. But now that you're able to communicate again, is there any information that you'd like to impart?"
/Patrem\ 5:50 PM: "Douglas is of significance and that is all I shall say of him. As for information that may be of interest to you children, I may be willing to tell you of what is to come."
Stevey 5:50 PM: "We'd be much grateful.."
Eve 5:54 PM: "That would be a helpful gift."
Helix 5:59 PM: "That would be very much appreciated. Doug is also important to us. If I may humbly ask, do you know of how Mason is doing? We are concerned as we lost contact with him at a crucial point, as well as if you know of a certain individual named Rosa?"
/Patrem\ 6:21 PM: "That foolish girl has damned herself, she and her brother started on the wrong path and never attempted to correct this. Her toungue is that of lies and she is a blind whore. Ask me not of her again for she and her kin are nothing but ignorant fools."
Stevey 6:24 PM: "So what is to come..?"
Oceanstuck 6:43 PM: "this is a bit late but what awaits mason as things stand now, and if that which awaits is unfavorable how may we change those things in our favor"
/Patrem\ 7:19 PM: "Shall you continue to ask me foolish questions, or shall I speak to you the true words of the future? The choice is yours."
Circlehunter 7:23 PM: "We'd love to hear about the future. Anything at all would be wonderful."
/Patrem\ 8:31 PM: "There will be a coming time in which a portal shall be opened. This place was forged by the one they call saint, and is governed by the one I call grand. Named a petty insult directed at the terrible fate of one child and the loss of another. Through here you may encounter many things both of your kind, and from times before man. He will seek the burned one, without his puppet he is only half of his potential. He will seek the link of that time, for it is through his death that he believes he will truly become a god. He is a grand fool, but he is one of my special children. However, this is not of the task at hand. Worry now for what lies before you. Now I must go, a ceremony shall soon be at hand, blood must be spilled when mother calls for it."
GreyouTT 11:33 PM: "Wait, BLOOD? WHAT? WHAT?!"

Summary

• Patrem cryptically hints towards the reveal of Johnisdead.com and Regiminis. He then departs for the Blood Moon Ritual.

Stevey 6:39 PM: "Mugen constantly acts above everyone else.. he also erm.. claimed you were a "worthless buffoon" thought you should know."
/Patrem\ 6:46 PM: "I am aware of this child, I see him even now."
/Patrem\ 6:46 PM: ""I'm already smelling the ashes""
Stevey 6:47 PM: "He's a inconvinence... I hope you agree on that.."
/Patrem\ 6:48 PM: "He knows not the child that burns"
/Patrem\ 6:49 PM: "There is no time to wet the ashes now"
Stevey 6:50 PM: "...who was or is this child...?"
/Patrem\ 6:55 PM: "And yet he hides, the grand child clings to me as he as the burned one hides. Grand and yet weak, you have already heard his name, but his new name will be spoken in time. The burned one is beyond us yet works within my dominion, he seeks to communion with one who is flying, who is of the water. He screams loudly, he is but a nuisance."
/Patrem\ 6:56 PM: "Speak to me no more of this screaming burned child."
Stevey 6:58 PM: "I thank you again for sharing your knowledge with me.. I apologize if it caused any discomfort or annoyance."
/Patrem\ 7:00 PM: "He is not mason nor douglas, he is one of you."
Stevey 7:01 PM: "... and now I suddenly worry for my safety... well I thank you again, that aids us in narrowing it down."
Stevey 7:44 PM: "You mentioned a "mother" who calls for blood... may I get a hint or answer to her identity?"

4/11/15 - Chat with Patrem - Within Hubris

Eve 12:44 AM: "Hello Patrem. Plans coming along smoothly?"
/Patrem\ 12:52 AM: "My aspirations shall never cease to unfold favorably my child."
Eve 12:59 AM: "I'm happy to hear that."
/Patrem\ 1:13 AM: "The time has passed, my children performed a humorous ceremony in the holy building. They seem to think mother is impressed by the bleeding of their own blood and their carnal motions."
Mugen Kagemaru 1:25 AM: "Spilling their own blood? Amusing. Pointless, but amusing. Any fallen?"
Mugen Kagemaru 1:25 AM: ""My aspirations shall never cease to unfold favorably my child.""
Mugen Kagemaru 1:25 AM: "I wonder about that..."
Seeker 1:29 AM: "YOU ALL NEED HELP."
Stevey 1:30 AM: "this is why everyone is turned away by mugen..."
Oceanstuck 1:42 AM: "that is so unhealthy of them i have the urge to reprimand this"
Eve 1:45 AM: "Did they harm anyone?"
Seeker 1:47 AM: "It say's THEIR OWN. which means one thing, they must be self harming themselves."
Sengi 1:55 AM: "Maybe a member was sacrificed... Maybe it could have been Douglass at this point..."
/Patrem\ 1:56 AM: "If they are weak and foolish enough to choose these actions, father shall leave them to their terrible fates. These foolish neophytes have disgraced mother with their petty bleeding and carnal actions before her."
/Patrem\ 1:56 AM: ((An audio file is posted which seems to be a recording of the ritual Patrem is speaking of. Drums, sobbing, and moaning can be heard along with someone saying "As I stand here on this most holy of nights, what pours from my arm is spilled in her name."))
Stevey 2:07 AM: "What sort of madness even persuaded them to take these actions?"
Sengi 2:08 AM: "I cant distinguish anything within the voice clip beyond crying/sobbing and probably someone making a sacrifice..."
Seeker 2:13 AM: "SOUNDS like a whale dying."
Eve 2:17 AM: "That sounds terrible. How sad."
Oceanstuck 2:19 AM: "aw come on dont pervert my happy birthday song that shit was supposed to be fuckin heartfelt keep your creepy ritual bullshit out of that"
Eve 2:25 AM: ""Father shall leave them to their terrible fates.""
Eve 2:25 AM: "Their loss! Make sure you never leave us."
Circlehunter 3:49 AM: "You mean to tell us that there was an orgy in the holy building? Terrible fate incoming, indeed. That's sacred ground!"

Summary

• Patrem mocks his followers for performing rituals of self sacrifice in The Spire.

4/11/15 - Chat with Patrem - Within Hubris (PM's)

Stevey 2:13 AM: "Why would they do that? .. did someone tell them to sacrifice their blood for Luna? I dont understand why such madness would overtake them so suddenly.. Also, what sort of voices (before the chanting) were mixed up in that vocaroo file you sent to us?"
/Patrem\ 2:27 AM: "The child who acts as overseer while the fishery overseer is away was the one who spoke in the beginning. I was not physically present, for I was baring witness to a much more important ceremony on the night of the blood moon, the true blood moon ritual. As for what he said: "As I stand here on this most holy of nights, what pours from my arm is spilled in her name." He did not leave the fishery that night, silly child.
Stevey 2:36 AM: "Okay, thank you.. what is involved in the true blood moon ritual...? the others claim (in the call group) that they can hear some of their own voices mixed in there too, during the begining. Oceanstuck claims she can hear her recent "happy birthday" to a thorin in there.. more nolstalgia again..?"
/Patrem\ 2:40 AM: "Nothing but the cries of my children, seeking favor from their mother. As for the true blood moon ritual, it was filmed to be added to our holy archive which is currently under reconstruction after an incident that occurred shortly after august of 2012 in your time."

Summary

• Patrem hints towards the reveal of Lunarchildren.com.
