Seek thine own inheritance
A warning, received and rejected, because it is unacceptable within the framework of the explorer's expectations. Your quote from Elliot (End Note) does help to explain the context, but it is not necessary. You have done your job within the story, very well.

Thank you @theinkwell! I really enjoy that quote from Elliot, and that's why I took the phrase "unremembered gate" as the title. I've always wondered what he meant by it. He could've said forgotten and yet unremembered sounds more grand.
