This article was around a year in the making and was originally made for The Extence, a project directed by televisionist which has since been abandoned. This article was made to make use of the work I put into the project after the project was canceled.

Art used for the heading of the article was drawn by Jokezm and polished by televisionist. In addition, the sketch presented in figure 1.1 was also made by Jokezm. All other art and images can be sourced from Wikimedia and are in the Public Domain.

Dreams. Each man longs to pursue his dream. Each man is tortured by this dream, but the dream gives meaning to his life. Even if the dream ruins his life, man cannot allow himself to leave it behind. In this world, is man ever able to possess anything more solid, than a dream?

"Rebirth, Reforms, and Conquest" (1565 - 1621)

I am EXTREMELY mad this doesn't say "Rebirth, Protestantism, and Conquest."

the Auctoritas would then have its most defining change that would go on to characterize its image for the coming decades would change both the history of the world and the Auctoritas Impertus

Old sentence that you didn't remove…?

Overall, I have to congratulate the immense effort that went into writing this, but I can't but feel uncomfortable regarding its influence in lore. This is basically going to be the article to link to people that want to write about the Auctoritas, and I don't really feel comfortable forcing people to read all of this just to get started writing.

God. Where do I start- All of this is just so. Words munch. I really like the historybook vibe this gives off and how easily digestable it is despite it being a longboi of an article. It's incredible how something like this (albeit this is fictional so) was crafted in a year whereas even the smallest historybooks where I am take three years at least to refine and a nightmare to get good and interesting ones because of this.

If I could eat this article it would be really fucking tasty. Well done, man.

3/5 overall

3/5 premise. Real life wrote most of the plot.
4/5 delivery. A hefty amount of research and work went into compiling this.
4/5 grammar. The flow bottles up at points but it is to be expected in such a long article.

Canon lore like this is super meta.
Just as in the early Auctoritas Impertus, the site demands unflinching loyalty to dogma. I deliberately avoid mentioning if I can, but the best thing about the SCP wiki is that canon is whatever the article requires it to be, because the article itself is the important part, not the universe surrounding it.
