01 / Field notes

A place between worlds

The hub’s welcome describes a repository reaching across universes. Its orientation, spoken by L.S., describes entrances called Ways and entry conditions called Knocks. Read these as the hub’s portrayal of the place, not a map fixing every Library story.

The place and the website

This dossier concerns the fictional Library. The hub also introduces the real Wanderers’ Library writing community and links to it. Following that link takes you to a separate publishing site, not another Foundation containment report.

03 / Caseboard

Follow a connection.

Every link below explains its relationship and names its context. A connection in one work does not establish a universal fact.

Describes as its home

The Serpent’s Hand ↗

The introduction signed M. calls the Wanderers’ Library the Hand’s home. This establishes the speaker’s connection to the Library without making every Library patron a Hand member.
