Notes: This is the last post of Part 1 of the Fulcrum (and the last Ecru prompt, as well). In terms of Rainbowfic posts, this is almost exactly 1/3 of the way through the full story. Thank you guys for reading! There will be a short break where I post two non-Fulcrum-related things, and then I will be back with the beginning of Part 2.

In-Universe Date: Year -36 (before the Gift)
Summary: Priestesses from the future arrive with the Grammar of a new language, disrupting Yesora's religious practice and way of life.
Notes: Not the document on Github, this is a side-story about Yesora's Grammar, and the changes it made to religious practice, why the priesthood is all female, and where a number of the conventions that are present in Setsiana's day came from (as well as the origin of the word that's being translated as "priestess"). I wanted to wait to post this until after introducing the Egalitarian heresy, for I hope obvious reasons.
