"The show is cancelled, the poster claims. Mahogany Hall - London's most notorious Music Hall and theatre - is closed tonight. You know better."[1]
The Seventh Letter is a scandalous and forbidden play that dramatizes the story of the Echo Bazaar. Its cast consists of some of the personalities the Bazaar encountered and dealt with during its journey.
The Neathy Play
"The Seventh Letter! They only show that in secret at Mahogany Hall! A production at the Panopticon? How does the Ministry of Public Decency permit it?"[2]
This play has been banned by the Ministry of Public Decency,[3] so it is usually staged in secret; Mahogany Hall is known for hosting recitals of The Seventh Letter on days when shows are cancelled and the theater is announced to be closed.[1] However, it is said that Mr Wines enjoys the play, and it supposedly bribes the Ministry on occasion to permit public stagings.[4]
While the play's subject matter is esoteric,[5] it is also notoriously moving and emotional.[3] The performances of the play's tragic characters can move even the most dignified audience members to tears,[6] and certain scenes are so horrifying that the play has an intermission for faint-hearted audiences to take their leave before those scenes are staged.[3]
In Summary
"The Seventh Letter has long been banned by the Ministry of Public Decency: but the story goes that Mr Wines enjoys it, and bribes them to wink at the ban, now and then."[4]
The following is a summary of all that is known of The Seventh Letter.
Night
"Yet no sweeter than yours, great master. I acknowledge it so."[3]
The actress playing the Raven is introduced. She sings her aria, the Hymn of Shames, which contains the following lyrics: "The glowing-hearted mountain / the river in the sky / the near night and the deep night..."[7]
The Raven comments that her song is superior to that of "the stone, the swan, the storm," but is interrupted by the arrival of the Messenger, to whom she defers, and whom she addresses as "great master".[8] The Messenger, played by multiple actors of multiple gender identities,[9] is dressed in "rags of cloud." They ask a question, into the darkness of the scene: why they should sing, when all of their songs are burned to their skin?[8]
Blood
"Ah, were it only my unfettered choice. But I owe him his hunts and the joys of his voice."[4]
The Messenger is beseeched by the Owls, who have taken up shelter within the Messenger's spires.[10] The Messenger asks what the Owls are doing within its spires; they respond that "we watch. We wait. We eat."[11] The Messenger mentions that the Owls are on the run from a being known as the Hunter;[11][4] in response, the Owls beg for safety from the Hunter's wrath. However, the Messenger cannot simply do away with the Hunter, as they "owe him his hunts and the joys of his voice."[11]
The Hunter later confronts the Messenger, and the Messenger warns him to curb his greed; in response, the Hunter screams at the Messenger a "litany of solar insults."[4]
Ice
"Aren't we touchy! I had no idea."[12]
The Phoenix, described as a "thing of fire",[13] is introduced. She recites her famous soliloquy: "I am so very tired of flames. I will drown myself in snow, and emerge in perfect serenity. Or emerge not at all."[14]
The Messenger then arrives abruptly, and asks the Phoenix what she is doing. The Phoenix responds by greeting them, and pointing out that the Messenger is the one carrying a troth from the Sun to another. The Messenger interrupts the Phoenix, and furiously demands that she does not speak the recipient's name.[13]
Later, the Phoenix prepares to undergo her Last Immolation. During certain productions of the play, rather than undress before her dramatic Immolation as would be expected, the Phoenix's feathered robes burst into blue flame, and she crackles like ice in the process.[15]
Glory
"Not yet enough. Not yet enough!"[5]
The Messenger is confronted by a Dragon, another servant of the Messenger's superior. The Dragon states that the Messenger's superior is waiting for them; the Messenger begs the Dragon for more time, as they are not yet ready to deliver their message. The Dragon responds by pointing out that the Messenger still has time left, and that "two remain" if "this place" fails, but the Messenger believes this is not nearly enough.[16]
Later, seven Dragons capture and hold a tribunal for several prisoners: the Messenger, the Chained Sun, the Messenger's Daughter, the Hunter, and Time itself. Two of the Dragons' mouths are covered in the Blood of the World. The Dragons drag their prisoners to the Wound in the World, and recites the crimes of those accused: "Betrayal of Messages, Undelivery of Words, Vile Breeding, Conspiracy in Darkness, and Unlicensed Love." [17]
When the Seventh Dragon recites the last crime, its fellows scream in an incalculable rage. The curtain then falls as the seven Dragons feast on their prisoners.[18]
Excerpts
RAVEN: Truly my voice is sweeter than the song of the stone, the swan, the storm....
(Enter a MESSENGER beribboned with RAGS of CLOUD.)
RAVEN: (in haste) ...yet no sweeter than yours, great master. I acknowledge it so.
MESSENGER: O blackness, o blackness, wherefore should I sing? When all of my songs are seared on my skin?
(Exeunt.)
--[8]
MESSENGER: What do you among my spires?
OWLS: Why, great master, we watch. We wait. We eat.
MESSENGER: You watch and you wait and consume, you say. But is there not one who will make you his prey?
OWLS: ....pray, great master, preserve us. Let us hear his shriekings no more, and we will serve you always.
MESSENGER: Ah, were it only my unfettered choice. But I owe him his hunts and the joys of his voice.
--[11]
PHOENIX (to herself): I am so very tired of flames. I will drown myself in snow and emerge in perfect serenity. Or emerge not at all.
MESSENGER: What’s that? You have no more use for flame?
PHOENIX: Oho! A visitor!
MESSENGER: A pleasure. Will you guess my name?
PHOENIX: I know you. All we things of fire do. You are the ragged messenger who carries a troth from the Sun to -
MESSENGER: -name her not! Name her not, the b___h!
PHOENIX: Aren’t we touchy! I had no idea.
--[13]
MESSENGER: You, again.
DRAGON: Yes. I remain the servant of your master. As do you. He awaits you.
MESSENGER: Do not. I beg you, do not. He cannot yet hear what I have to say.
DRAGON: (carelessly) You have a little longer. Should this place fail, two remain. (Exit)
MESSENGER: Not yet enough. Not yet enough!
--[16]
Analysis
"They say only six letters of it should ever be written together. The seventh will doom all."[1]
The following is an analysis of the cast and story of the The Seventh Letter. Do note that this analysis is liable to change as the lore of Fallen London develops and evolves.
It appears that the scenes of the play do not follow any chronological order, and the last scene depicting the Messenger's death at the hands of Dragons is a frightening hypothetical.
The Messenger is the Echo Bazaar; the Bazaar bears a message for the Sun,[19][20] and the Bazaar is known for its iconic spires.[21]
The Owls are the Masters of the Bazaar; their species, the Curators, have been compared to owls.[22][23]
The identity of the Hunter is unconfirmed, but it is likely Mr Veils. Veils killed several other Curators during its time in the High Wilderness,[24] and is known to shriek when acting as the Vake.[25]
The identity of the Phoenix is unknown.
The Dragons are Aeginae, beings that have been compared to dragons and are known to consume time.[26][27] The identity of the Dragon that warns the Messenger of its limited time is most likely Storm, as Storm is an Aeginae who is known to have interacted with the Bazaar in the past.[28][29]
The Wound in the World is the Avid Horizon, which has been called a "wound in the sky,"[30] and the Messenger's Daughter is Stone, the daughter of the Bazaar.[31] The Chained Sun is our familiar Sun, hypothetically arrested by the Dragons for its experiments in the Neath.[32]
The identity of the Raven is unconfirmed, but based on the name and lyrics of the Raven's hymn, she is likely one of the Shames, the children of Stone who were considered aberrations by the Judgements[33][34] and forced to stay in the Neath.[35][36] As such, the scene depicting the Raven most likely takes place in the Neath.[36]
