Library/The Mien Study
Librarian's Note: The following is a collection of interviews performed initially by Lux Shadowcaster, Vizier, in an attempt to better understand our Mien and the reasons. If you wish to continue this study, please add additional information in at least the following format:
: ''Date of Survey:'' : '''Seeming:''' : '''Kiths:''' : '''Notable Features:''' ** Features in a List ** Make note of Entitlement Features : '''Wyrd Intensity''' : '''Known Changes due to Wyrd:''' : '''Keeper:''' : '''Realm:''' : '''Entitlement:''' : '''Additional Notes:'''
As this study asks about Keeper information, it may be sensitive. Some entries are anonymized due to request (as best as possible). Because this information will lead to more Keeper information, please file additional library sources on the Keepers in the appropriate places
OOC Because this is ICly written, Wyrd Intensity is given a general term. Key is as follows
- Non Existent.: 1-2
- Mild: 3-4
- Strong 5-6
- Exceptional: 7-8
- Fae-Like: 9-10

Logs
