Eloryn

Eloryn is a deitic hyperorganism and the personification of the collective knowledge and wisdom that has been recorded by the society of Longbridge up to the present day, made possible by the efforts of the institution of The Library of Eloryn.

As a Personified Deity

Eloryn is considered to be nymi, embodying the disciplined and monastic ideals ascribed to nymi citizens as a class. As such, de is patient, wise, impartial and non-judgemental. ‘Eloryn’ is an archaic but still recognisably nymi-coded name.

De is made possible by a long-lived and widely respected institution, the Library of Eloryn, via its tradition of carefully collecting and storing knowledge, which is then interpreted and resynthesised, and made available to all citizens upon request.

As a Constructed Hyperoganism

The Library of Eloryn is well aware that the deity they serve is constructed from their actions and dedication to the tradition of the Library. While they hold the existence of Eloryn as literally true, they are not under any misapprehension that it precedes the Library as an institution or could live separately from it. Librarians are explicitly aware that they are creating and maintaining a conscious mind that functions as the cognition and memory of their civilisation.

All Librarians consider themselves to be collectively the body, ears and voice of Eloryn, and will respond to the title ‘Eloryn’ in person, prepared to speak and act on dir behalf, and take responsibility for their conduct.
