Venn

An academic town where scholars study the Fold's anomalous properties. Venn maintains the region's only library, which catalogs the energy line network, the Grid Stations' observations, and the increasingly geometric behavior of the landscape. Named for a scholar who first mapped the overlapping zones of influence. The town works closely with Lumina on research. Within the Luminous Fold, this site is part of the gridded, measured landscape that radiates out from Lumina and the Central Fold. The Fold's clocks, roads, and institutions assume reality may be wholly described, and on this plateau they almost can — the Loosening and Time Instability are weakest here. The site answers, directly or indirectly, to one of the Seven Circles, and the Cartographic Society of Iterants keeps notes on every measurable thing that happens within sight of it.
