The living story
The story so far
The Sphinx, daughter of Echidna and Typhon (or of Orthrus and the Chimera — the songs vary), besieged Thebes with her riddle, devouring those who failed. Oedipus answered; she hurled herself from the cliff.
Happening now
Her rock stands empty above the road to Thebes. Travelers leave riddles as offerings; the wind answers, badly.
What may come
Two bloodlines in one: monster-born, spirit-voiced — her riddles were the human part. The Terata remember what the factions forget: hybrids have the best questions.
