The War Room
Given to him by his mother, the War Room is a conceptual space, somewhat akin to a memory palace. Anothis first needs to compose himself in the lotus position. He then enters into a kind of trance, in which he enters the War Room –actually an infinitely extendable mental stronghold –stairs, doorways, passages, bridges, going on forever. As with a normal memory palace, Anothis can store things he wishes to remember here and can sometimes draw new and startling insights from the details of their arrangement here.
However, Anothis can also set events in motion in the War Room, and observe how they play. For instance, if trying to predict the outcome of a battle, Anothis could set representations of the terrain and the respective troop numbers in the War Room and observe the results. Of course, this is dependent on the quality of Anothis’ information and his own strategic insight (his mind is the ‘programming power’ behind the War Room), so it can’t provide him with answers that he couldn’t work out himself eventually. However, the War Room is much quicker and extremely reliable.
