Wyrmwood Library

2022-07-04T11:31:52Z

Biotronic:

'Wyrmwood Library' is a runaway part of the [[Great Library]]. It consists of the most unruly books - those who resent being categorized, books that have run away from their masters, and others who simply prefer the atmosphere and milieu of free thought and discussion fostered by [[Wyrmwood]]'s special status.

On the library's shelves, in its chairs and simply floating in the air, you can find books on the most diverse subjects, having discussions of philosophy, magical theory, physics and politics. Within the library's walls no subject is beyond discussion, and so the occasional fight is to be expected.

In order to maximize storage, the library's walls, floors and ceilings are covered in bookshelves, and gravity bends so visitors can access all areas via the hardwood paths between shelves.

== Denizens ==

* [[Xenthasto]] is the head librarian at Wyrmwood Library. He is a death slaad and immensely proud of it. While his magical powers seem limited, his knowledge of which books exist and where to find the information you need is nigh limitless.

* [[Tome of Arguments]] is a tattered tome of blackened sheepskin, securely chained to the wall, and is constantly taunting and shouting abuse at anyone who strays too close. If approached respectfully it is actually a pleasant conversation partner with a broad knowledge of discussion techniques and argument structures, and is happy to help you win any argument.

The '''Dictate of the Synod''' is the process that ensures the internal consistency of the Termanistan demiplane. It takes care of automatic backup and rollback, consistency checks and the dispelling of potentially world-altering events.

= History =

Long after the [[Brotherhood of the Synod]] seized power in Termanistan, they decided the chaotic society created by the world's magic users was unfortunate and a threat to Termanistan's continued existence, and that something must be done. A special police force, the [[Chronoproteate]] was established to catch and punish repeat offenders or those who seek to undermine the city's safeguards. As their power grew and their requirements became clear, the Dictate was created to automate and simplify their job.

= Function =

The Dictate's function is to protect the continued existence of Termanistan, as well as its relative political stability. Whenever a spell is cast, the Dictate creates a local snapshot. The extents of this snapshot is determined by the proximity to other spells and the levels of the spells involved. Automated process then monitor the effects of the spells, and if their effects are deemed destructive to the city, there is a rollback to the snapshot, the offending spell is countered, and the offender is warned about his actions. If the case is not cut-and-dried, the Chronoproteate is notified and an agent dispatched to the scene.
