| Itascrius is a land of ink-dark forests, and cottages etched from paper-pale stone. It is a land of murky libraries, of shelves lined and hatched together like storybook woodcuts, of scholars shaping the world with the sweep of a pen. It is a land of books, and of those who tell tales. | Itascrius is a land of ink-dark forests, and cottages etched from paper-pale stone.

| The //Fraternitas Narratorum// claims to be a loose and impartial collective to supply, support, represent and protect Narrators from outside interference. Storytelling, they claim, is a sacred practice and Narration serves only Fate, not cynical interests. To preserve their reputation amidst a world growing more sceptical of Narration, the Union has started revoking membership from those accused of corruption or biased embellishment---those they suspect of serving themselves rather than Fate. Those who are designated Unreliable Narrators will have to sell their trade without aid from the Union… | The //Fraternitas Narratorum// claims to be a loose and impartial collective to supply, support, represent and protect Narrators from outside interference.

| Known by all but the most pedantic as “The Collegia” or simply “The Universities”, the //Collegia Astuum// are a group of powerful and illustrious institutions. Founded to teach the Narration tradition, now each Collegium draws scholars from across the nations to study, philosophise, write and dissect some of the greatest problems of the day, including some who study fate itself. Gone is the era where places were only granted to those with curious and promising fates---but not so long gone, and elitism lingers like an inky shadow. Many still view the Collegia as their gateway to influence and glory. | Known by all but the most pedantic as “The Collegia” or simply “The Universities”, the //Collegia Astuum// are a group of powerful and illustrious institutions.
