@Scientia; Entry 01
[Ignis seriously doesn't know the right way to start these entries so- he just types.]
Ignis here.
I visited the Library few days ago (read: Aug28th) to check on the Librarian spirit. The entire incident had left them to feel gloomy and I didn't want us to lose the handful of spirits that still like us.
[Bear with him, he IS going somewhere with this]
As always, after a "cookies & chat" I scour the Library, reading and returning books along the way. I usually never run into anything of importance, asides from books on stars and random biographies (which is a good way to pass time).
That day, however, I ran into a geography book. This is what I found.
[Ignis shares image.jpg- a page in the book of a continent (North America), with scrawlings alongside the margins. It is not the best lit picture ever, but it decently shows that someone has been marking the said continent with numbers from 1 to 12 at the places that are completely blocked out. The word that stands out amidst all of it is "Panem".]
I have never heard of this continent
Nor am I claiming that we are residing on it right now
I have been trying to make some sense of it in the past two days, but without the basics, I'm afraid I can't move past it.
And now, after hearing that bit from Will, keeping it as a puzzle to solve in borning evenings is out of the question.
After reading Will's post, some of my assumptions:
1. If this actually represents the land we are on, the 12 points could be older Beacons
2. They are blocked/scratched off because they fell to the World Eaters in the past
3. There might be some salvageable information there
Amidst all of this I still cannot fit in word "Panem" anywhere, so please take this with a grain of salt. The only solid confirmation that this is the land we're on would be from the Keeper (and I have some doubts she will do it).
Note: You can check out the book by yourself at the Library in the Village
Warning 1: If you visit, do not antagonize the Librarian. They were skittish and uncomfortable even when I opened the book.
Warning 2: Don't go off on your own to check and prove this. Eager you might be, but you'll end up dead without anyone to return your lantern.
What is your take on this?

If they actually exist here, in this world, they would help us out a lot. At least the technology. I am not adept at it, but I know people can put it to good use. Textiles and grain wouldn't be bad either.
In any case, this just means we have to explore further.

[But if he didn't keep talking, he'd feel like he's deliberately leaving things out, so...]
It's not real, though. Where I come from. It's just a story that someone wrote, a really popular work of fiction.

Curious
Why would someone mark pages on the map using the wrong information? Boredom...?

Do you believe in the Multiverse Theory?

So in my world, North America is North America. But in another world, North America became Panem.
And maybe that's this world, or maybe it's just a world. And if there've been all these resets, it's not unheard of that someone was from that universe and arrived here. So maybe they were trying to make sense of their reality, or maybe they were homesick.
But that's just a theory.
no subject
If this is true, about Multiverse, to have a power that reaches in all realities is a tremendous power. It is a theory that could work and that's frightening.
Perhaps we ought to make a trip back to the Library and see if there's more stuff regarding this.

[But, really, it's hard to know for sure what anything is.]
I definitely want to look into it for myself, yeah. I think I'll be spending a good amount of time at the library.
