Ghyll:Encyclopedants Progress Report 3

This entry won't be anywhere near done until, at least, September 25th.

The Encyclopedants is a term applied to the small group of individuals who decided a collection of Ghyll intellect, in written and distributed form, was necessary for the bettering of society, as well as the benefit of future historians. The group now presides over the encyclopedia's integrity and "cohesion of vision". To remain an objective judge, the Encyclopedants attempt to focus only on "the facts as we're told them", asking questions, poking holes, and suggesting "standards" to further quality assurance. These Progress Reports are considered official communication between the Encyclopedants and their Scholars, and they encourage others to write their own thoughts and comments into the margins.

And So It Continues!

As our third batch of scholarly submissions roll in, we'd like to take the time to address some emerging issues we've been noticing, as well as lay down some more suggestions regarding the future of our project.

Sometimes, speaking all in-game can be difficult, so anything in this color text is out-of-game: from the Ghyll administrators to the Ghyll players.

While we're certainly leery to restrict your movement and interests as scholars, the biggest, most important goal of our beloved encyclopedia is cohesion, integration, and stamen to pistil.

The Facts As We're Told Them

The third batch of entries consists of the following entries: Cranee Historical Society (Organization).

Cranee Historical Society (Organization)

• The Cranee Historical Society was founded in -183 EC and spends much of its time researching itself.
• The Historical Society's emblem is a bull's pizzle surrounded by Fefferberry trees, both of which smell similar.
• Cranee is a hamlet, where the Historical Society is located, situated between Evesque Valley and Folktown.
• Cranee is located 25 sugro-nanits from the Evesque Valley and 18 sugro-nanits from Folktown.
• There are roughly 170 residents of Cranee, most of which participate in the official Moonbeam Meetings.
• Moonbeam Meetings occur whenever Pinky and Perky, Ghyll's moons, are full. Pies are baked, lights are hung.
• Nearly every Moonbeam Meeting sees the election of a new president, determined by a Bindlet Ball.
• Between Moonbeam Meetings, Society members go on archaeological digs in far-flung fear-inducing places.
• Cranee has "rainy-assed seasons", one of which has lasted for a month or more.
