"She regaled a tale of wonder in the Storytelling Contest of 470 MA."

I think that with the current size of our playerbase, we have very little to gain from hiding one of the core draws of our game behind arbitrary information barriers.
If people want this information in an easily-accessible forma…

I am inclined to agree with this. The role of libraries in the game has changed substantially - and imo, for the better - since the introduction of orghelps. Libraries now slant toward the presentation of long-form information that'd be cl…

@Tenshyo - mages have Revelation. After a short delay, a small mana expenditure, and a couple of cheap-as-free crystals, you have the ability to produce a free eye …
