Foreword
Knowledge is the most powerful tool in the world. It makes even the gods terrified, more than any sword or whatever projects
Kotibnor or
Karno will ever whip up. It requires extreme caution with how we at
Corvus University document our information. For many years, scholars were required to memorize their professors lectures and then pontificate upon them.
This was quite tedious as one can imagine. So we agreed, in the face of what precious little recorded information that does exist being concealed or destroyed just for mere "tactical advantage" in the Toxin Wars, that we needed a way to have the information we gather for future generations to outlive us. A cause that was reinforced to us as we embarked on this project, Ukadha gave his life in pursuit of thus project's success.
So we honor his memory, and his commitment to our shared goal, in the continued expansion of this - the Incyclopia Garragunya. You, reader, are among the few who have been privileged to have access to the greatest well of knowledge in the world. Do not take this lightly, we worked too hard to-
Please Zumtah, have a little faith. In order to have even gotten this far they would have had to pass at least three screening wards. Now, dear reader - keep this knowledge close, hide it away when not in use, and above all as we say at Corvus: trust in knowing, and know who's trusting.
The Incyclopia
What you find yourself navigating is a psychic library, its information impossible to access except from designated terminals - of which there are only two in the world. The main one at Corvus University, and the satellite at
the Shimmering City¹. Via these terminals you can access the information compiled by our professors and students. receiving
This is not a painful process, and you will retain your faculties rest assured. We have only had 5 instances of the wards being used, and in each case the individuals only lost a few embarrassing childhood memories. Some might even consider that a bonus! So worry not, intrepid student, this gateway can only bring forth a new age of enlightment! And should you wish to further your learning, you can always journey to Corvus University and learn that which hasn't been transcribed into the Incyclopia yourself. Maybe even write an article or two, yes?

While the Incyclopia's information is not physical, the infrastructure to access it is. As such the satellite terminal does not yet have full access to all the articles of the Incyclopia. Most articles are only in their partial versions, and many more are not even accessible yet. Fret not! We are working as fast as we can on the issue.
