The Lethran archive is a wonderful place to visit, it contains the town records going back hundreds of years. It is a glorious living history of hybrid information storage and artefacts. It has everything from scrolled notes to skein bands, from resonance infused paper books to traditional paper journals, everything you can think of in which people could have made notes! It is less like the organised library or resonance storage archive people imagine, it is more like an atheneum of the local knowledge.

As you can probably imagine the archivists are vital to finding anything in the archive, there is a system but it is particularly hard to fathom for a lay person. I love it in here, even now with the oddness of the world seeping in around the edges, this place is comfortable.

I met with an archivist named Ide who I worked with when I was here doing my Cord-Wright studies, she was fantastic at helping me find the information about the local wildlife numbers and migratory patterns. There is a lot! Luckily Ide let me take a data swipe of everything we thought was relevant so I can look at it more closely later. At first glance though it seems that the geese are migrating later and it has been changing by small amounts for a few years. There are also reports of more Glint Wings and Copper Darts, but fewer Hoop-Weasels or Pine Martens are being seen close to town!

I discussed this all with Ide and her colleague Maria at great length, but none of us could come up with a reason for it. Their best suggestion was to carry on to the university at Sylvara to see if anone has more information there.

One interesting thing I did find out was that the routes that the migratory geese used to take were called the goose paths, and they used to be so regular that the vague tracks made by their passing overhead could be seen on the ground. There was a reference to Guarding the Goose Paths, but no information on how this might have been done!
