====One More Special Announcement====

//A few days into your stay in the Hub World, you receive the following message. It has been written in a cursive that some of you may recognize://

Chosen,

Tragedy has stricken us all.

As you may have noticed, your portals are not working.

The Hub World, however, should be stable.

And as for the golden pears that travelled with you, each of you may proceed to ingest one - but proceed with caution. They should be safe, as pears often are, but in the The Serpent’s maddened state…

Who knows the powers they may hold?

Until further notice, please stay put, and communicate as you will.

Attentively
- The Original Book

//This time, there is no message written in a child's hand at the end of the note. Instead, you are met with a series of incomprehensible scribbles and frantic drawings. At first glance, they don't seem to depict anything in particular - just fear.//

------

//The writing here is typed and takes up one of the beginning pages of your Tome. It is prefaced with: "For new Chosen, we hope this Tome alleviates some of your well-founded confusion."//


Upon arriving at the Library, you were [[hahahanded|handed]] a book by the [[guardians#the serpent|The Serpent of the Pears]]. It was a non-descript, leather-bound volume, either black or brown. They called it your Tome. You are reading it now.

As you will realise soon enough, your Tome is a very useful tool. It enables thought and communication, storytelling and creative expression. And of course, it contains crucial information for every Chosen: [[libraryincarnation|Library descriptions]], for example, as well as [[incaseoffire|important safety information]]. 

You are welcome to personalise your Tomes as you see fit. However, the more observant of you will notice that this personalisation can often occur of its own volition. Take it as a sign of your Tome acclimating to you, of it trying to make you feel at home (for an example of this, see [[samplecharacter#sample_character_1ruk|Ruk's Tome]]).

Once your Tome is in your possession, it will be yours and yours alone. Please use its pages wisely.

===== Tomes and Gameplay ======

In game, the Tome has the following uses:
  * It is a guidebook to the Library, or an **IC representation of the information available on the Wiki**.
  * It is a means of communication between PCs. When in their [[personallibraries|Personal Libraries]], PCs can send messages to each other by writing in their Tomes and addressing the specific PC, similarly to how one would write a letter. That message will then appear in the addressee's Tome.
  * It is a way to collect additional knowledge that is gained by interacting with plot points or through having certain [[quirks|Personal Libraries]].
  *  It is a means of taking notes or drawing diagrams as PCs explore Library Incarnations.
