You say, "You get up the next morning and explore this charming township."
You say, "It's not huge, though it's certainly bigger than a village."
Chadur [ooc] Is there a library?
Thor [ooc] yay! lets burn the books!
You say, "There is a library on the main road, with a huge stone book on its
facade. The headboard identifies this as the Department of Law and
Mythology, and shows that it is now open."
Chadur goes in and looks up the Powerhouses Charter
You say, "Inquiries are taken to a Research Assistant, and if s/he can't help
you, they will be passed along to a Senior Research Assistant, and thence
to a Researcher, a Senior Researcher, and finally on to the Research
Coordinator."
You say, "Your query results in a series of complicated gestures at some arcane
device, which spits out a five-digit number."
Chadur [ooc] Dewey-decimal number?
DMR [ooc] Maybe. Could be Huey-Hexadecimal or Louie-Octal too.
Research Assistant says, "I know where we have to go!"
You say, "He leads you to a place of ancient books, several of them written in
some kind of runic language. You take down a copy of the Powerhouses
Charter and open it - it's all runes, you can't read any of it."
You say, "But as you open it, out falls a folded map, which unfolds and lands
on the floor."
Chadur opens up the map.
You say, "It shows a path through some mountains, and finally has a big X
marking a destination."

You say, "But I don't think you need the image to know what this map looks like"
Chadur asks the Assistant where the map is showing.
You say, "The assistant has no idea what you're talking about, doesn't care
anyway, has completed his contractual duty, and returns to his desk to
watch cat videos on the fantasy equivalent of Youtube."
