Welcome to the Facsimile Index!

**Starting off?** [The website][1] details the world in a more official capacity, and in more "ready-to-consume" format. The wiki (you are here) is significantly more verbose, but also updated as lore discussion happens, as opposed to the website that receives incremental updates. While there is an attempt to prevent content here growing dry, it is an unfortunate circumstance of detailing every established idea. Prepare to read.

## World
* [[World/Oneirum]]  
  A [magical substance](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AppliedPhlebotinum) that formed the basis of technology in the [[Old World]] and certain modern technologies in the current world. Said to make human wishes and desires a reality.
	* [[World/Magic]]  
	  [[World/Races#Humans|Humans]] and [[World/Races#Aberrants|Aberrants]] are capable of magic based on their [[World/Magic#Legend|Legend]]. Through the latent power of Oneirum, they can call forth feats that do not have qualms for things like thermodynamics and physics, though they are also often self-limiting.
* [[World/The Storm]]  
  The Storm is, put simply, the reason why humanity has holed up into giant fortresses of cities. Wreaks havoc on terrain through a combination of meteorological factors and Oneirum contamination.
* [[Cities]]  
  Giant fortresses where the remainder of civilization on the planet have found homes in. They are mega-cities with large walls wrapped around them with many, many lines of defense against the physical and magical.
* [[World/Races]]  
  Beings sapient enough to identify themselves and think they have free will come in three flavors: [[World/Races#Humans|Humans]], [[World/Races#Synthetics|Synthetics]] and [[World/Races#Aberrants|everything else]].
* [[Organizations/Harkemann Robotics]]  
  The original manufacturer, patent owner and developer of [[World/Races#Synthetic|synthetics]] before the world collapsed.

### Cities
* [[City Authority]]  
  More commonly known as "The Authority." Much of the resources of the Authority is dedicated to civil protection, but they also coordinate coordinate construction projects and handle [[Associations#Contractors|contractor]] documentation.
	* [[City Authority/Patent Office]]  
	  Enforces and legalizes patents created by corporations.
	* [[City Authority/Bureau of Security]]  
	  Uses violence to protect Cities from both [[World/The Storm#Manifestations|Manifestations]] and threats from civillians or out-of-control Aberrants. Also does basic "housekeeping" and takes orders from City Authority administration (incl. [[City Authority#The Mayor|the Mayor]]), the Advisor of Security, the Commissioner of the Walls and Commissioner of the Interior. Effectively the "military."
	* [[City Authority/The High and Low Courts]]  
	  Handles disputes that are opted to be handled by courts. The High Courts specifically handle conflict between corporations that both cannot afford to handle it with skirmishes.
	* [[City Authority/Bureau of Education]]  
	  Offers public education to City dwellers. Yay!
	* [[City Authority/Bureau of Civic Maintenance]]  
	  Performs maintenance on public services, along with taking care of demilitarized areas between districts and land used by corporations owned by the City.
	* [[City Authority/Bureau of Urban Development]]  
	  Constructs new areas and services, along with doing reconstruction beyond the capabilities of the Civic Maintenance Bureau.
	* [[City Authority/Surveyor Affairs Office]]  
	  With the establishment of [[Associations]], provides a centralized management solution to certifying and tracking information about contractors.

### The Warrens & Outside
* [[Warrens]]  
  A general term for the buried ruins below the surface.
    * [[Warrens#Diving|Diving]]  
      The act of exploring areas heavily contaminated by unrestrained [[World/Oneirum]]. The name is derived from "*diving* into the [[Warrens]]."
* [[World/The Storm#The Outside|The Outside]]  
  General term for areas on the surface of the planet directly exposed to [[World/The Storm|the Storm]].

## Contractor Associations
[[Associations#Contractors|Contractors]] can go independent, but having an Association to back you up as insurance or as altercation backup is always a good boon to have in the City and especially [[Warrens#Diving|dives]].

* [[Associations/Vigil Association]]
* [[Associations/Iris Association]]

## Organizations
* [[Organizations/Halcyon]]
