Annotations

Half-marathon world record: As of January 2019. At the time of publishing, the world record stands at fifty-seven minutes, thirty-two seconds, set by Kibiwott Kandie of Kenya at the Valencia Half Marathon in Spain on December 6, 2020. The controversy surrounding his shoes could be said to somewhat resemble the controversy surrounding what influences dungeon stats might have on a race.

Brewer’s: Ebenezer Cobham Brewer’s Brewer’s Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. Subject to numerous revisions since its 1870 release in England. Stands as one of the foremost English reference books on phrases and idioms drawing from myth and antiquity.

Qapla’!: A Klingon phrase meaning “Success unto you!” but which came to be used as a standard exchange for partings. As with most Klingon words, the harsh pronunciation leads to it sounding like a threat.

Wernicke’s area: The part of the brain used for processing speech. Broca’s area is used for speech production, while the pars opercularis within it is tasked with control of the vocal cords.

Inner speech: The phenomenon of sorting out thoughts via an internal voice and language. Not every thought is processed through internal speech, but also through visualizations, imagined sounds, music, and abstract conceptualization—but the ability to process inner language helps manage all of the above.

A time before Babel: A reference to the Tower of Babel in the Book of Genesis. A story told around Genesis 11:9. Before the advent of different languages, humans congregated in a single city and used their common tongue to cooperate to build a tower to the heavens. God came down and scattered the humans, dividing their language in the process. Henceforth, the town became known as Babel. With direct access to each other’s inner speech, it would be like returning to an era before Babel.

“Babel” is said to have various meanings including “din and confusion” and “gate of God.” Whether the town took its name because it was the start of an exodus away from the common city—the gateway to the rest of the Earth—or because of the cacophony accompanying the split into multiple languages is unclear.

As for why God was angry, there are multiple interpretations. Some say it’s because he told humans to go forth and multiply, and instead they’d congregated in one spot. Others say it’s because of the humans’ avarice, building their own tower to heaven and thinking they no longer needed God. The intended takeaway may have been lost to time.
