The Librarian Knights of No Man's Sky will form a chain across this universe using our discoveries as the links.
The School of Culture and Lore welcomes You.
Dear Knights,
Welcome to the School of Culture and Lore.
As a burgeoning organisation on the brink of exciting discoveries in a new Galaxy, we are an order composed of fighters, warriors, scientists, peacemakers and other diverse individuals, with rich cultural heritage.
Instead of proscribing conformity to a single utilitarian entity, we have taken it upon ourselves to collect, analyse and display the rich universes of lore as told by yourselves and the NMS community in general.
All communications, no matter how big or small, are welcome. I look forward to collaborating with you in order to ensure the preservation and ongoing development of your tomes within our hallowed Library.
My own story as Head Curator, and my wildly different (some would say traumatic) past life have many recollections which I am busily collating as I find time.
What can I expect from the School of Culture and Lore? • Assistance with organisation of your lore and narrative, in a way that successfully demonstrates your characters’ rich history and universal background. This includes assistance with information-gathering of existing lore (for instance, /u/Sinius and the Warhammer 40K universe) if required.
• Transferring your precious documents, be they physical, digital, artworks, poems, songs, video or links to your blogs, into the appropriate sections of the repository. *
• Regular (weekly) updates on the cultural developments of our fine Library, as well as news from the larger NMS universe.
*- Please Note: Refer to the Librarian Knights website for data that should be directed here accordingly, such as video capture and Imgur collection. For everything else, there’s Masterca- the School of Lore!
Organisation
Head Curator/Curator of Music (Yours truly Austriaal!) • Responsible for general oversight of the School of Culture and Lore. May issue directives as required, or institute necessary larger-order changes to the school. Will assist in initial development.
• Responsible for Weekly ‘School of Culture and Lore Update’ on the /r/ and IMZY comms, perhaps also on my own b-log, too.
Custodians (Positions Open!) • Custodian of the Arts: Responsible for collation, organisation and preservation of artistic data derived from the Knights, such as physical journaling, sketches, photoshop visual manipulations, banners, insignias and other visual works. • As Head Custodian, an additional role I am happy to oversee for now is Curator of Music, including developing a Spotify playlist. All suggestions welcome! • Custodian of Lore: An important role. The overseer of all tales, stories, songs, poems and written lore which binds together a Knights’ historical and present cultural information. • Assisting Knights with researching and summarising relevant lore (such as the aforementioned WH40K example) for other Knights to explore.
• Custodian of Library Culture: Think of this personal almost as the Library’s ‘marketing assistant’ in conjunction with others responsible for inter-Factional communication and relationships. Overseeing networking and collaboration opportunities, and relaying this information to myself and first Three Knights. • Organisation and development of lore that is central and unique to the Library itself. Preserving this at all costs!
For now, our main means of organising this data are the Drive and the Weebly website (blessed be thy creators). We expect more Knights to step up to the task of overall database organisation in future as well!
Recruitment And now, good Knights, is when I ask of your help! OOC, I am a very busy man (currently doing 2 jobs as well as a full-time placement and other commitments), and as our cultural repository grows and swells, it may be too much for one Knight. Thus, I am offering openings for the following positions: • Custodian of the Arts. • Custodian of Lore. • Custodian of Library Culture. • General Database roles (please speak to the Three for further information).
To apply, simply search for the School folder on the Drive, and submit a word-based application – as succinct or extensive as you see fit. Points for creativity, and proof of being able to appreciate cultural diversity with little bias. I look forward to growing our Library into a living entity of sorts, one filled with rich tomes of quantitative and qualitative data.
May your lore and art inspire others. May the multicultural community of our order thrive, and may you adventure far and wide across the universe!
IXI Austriaal Head Curator, School of Culture and Lore.
