The Bestiary Archive
The school's index of the creatures — every being the class meets
This is the school's index of the creatures: one hundred twelve beings, every one the class meets, kept by me and shelved by the unit and lesson where you will meet it. Each earned its place the same way — people set it down in earnest as true of the world, in a record that can still be found, dated, and read. Search by name, or walk the shelves unit by unit. Where a being shares a lesson with its kin, the archive says so plainly — nothing here is padded, and nothing is hidden.
And if the being you seek is not on these shelves, do not force it in. It belongs to the Unfinished Page, and the capstone will teach you to write its entry yourself, to the same standard as all the rest.
