The Election

notebook26/page3 - detail showing the positions of Sapients and syblings holding voting urns

notebook26/page2 - diagrams showing the entry and postions of the various processions

The diagram above shows the static setup that the various parties adopt during the actual voting.

To the right are several diagrams that show the way in which each of the groups, the Lesser Chosen, the Great, the House of the Masks, the Wise etc enter the Chamber of the Three Lands during the election. These diagrams relate to the various structures in the Chamber. I produced them to work out the choreography which is the dominant structure of the chapter "The Election" in The Chosen. The sixth diagram, for example, shows the entry of the House of the Masks. Ykoriana leads the central 'prong' which comes down the Stairs of the Approach. The two 'outer prongs' show the routes taken by Osidian and Molochite.
