As of 20220927...
As of 20220927, lang doccü is in weekly development. This is a priority, 2nd priority is churning out more bangin snippets in the update feed, and 3rd is to merge Snippets to here. For now, this wiki is aggressively undermaintained, and you should only tread here wearing crocs. Bear 🐻 with me, please send assistance if at all possible.

What is this place?
This is a wiki, and on it you will find: in- and outta- universe information on the Borld, which is the world the Bep among others live in. They are a very broad classification who just happened to be first I began writing about.

"I" means Sincy, contact her if you need something.

Reports, Lex: (the namespace), and most articles on here are in one way or another deprecated, and I intend to replace them. Reports specifically are a format for inworld literature that I will rework to be less bad.

Snippets (namespace Snip:) are copypastes of bep working notes written in elsewhere. I am still unsure of how to use this, but generally anything with "Snip:" in front of it is to be treated as a semi-processed field note, for now. Snippets are bite-sized shallow dives into various subjects, and will be marked as such even when fully processed.
