THE RUMOUR MILL
Things people say about the world, checked against the codex. Some true, most not on record.
Welcome to my homepage!
I hear things. Then I check them against the codex, which is the closest thing this world has to a library. If the codex says it, it is ON RECORD. If the codex says it isn't known, it is NOT ON RECORD. If the codex says otherwise, it is NOT TRUE.
Welcome!
