This catalog records the material used to start the library. Topic records cite the passages they summarize. Research date: October 3, 2026, local time.

Existing Idlewood sources

No live Continuum snapshot was retrieved for this library. The local accepted playthrough is identified as a local source checkpoint rather than claimed to be the latest live game state.

Existing Roll20 campaign sources

Import index and recovery notes, with the copy manifest. Four readable handouts were transcribed and one cover thumbnail was recovered. Original-resolution art and map backgrounds remain unrecovered.
World Lore, The 9th Gate Saturday campaign, journal path LORE AND MORE then World Lore. The visible handout calls itself Player Facing World Canon and names King Canaan. The import preserves the readable handout text; no body text was visible beneath its GM Notes heading. The browser showed the campaign title as The 9th Gate followed by a hyphen and Saturday.
Journal transcriptions preserve 9th Roles, Places Within the Gate, and The Cell Block. These establish Halbrecht, Vos, Rell, Issen, the Gate's institutional functions, interior areas, and opening detention conditions. The Show to Players control was visible; that does not establish that every player had access or read them. Role-handout truths remain GM context.

Roll20 imports are source records from the existing campaign. Their original wording remains alongside summaries in the appropriate folders. Their presence does not establish a new live Continuum checkpoint or make later story possibilities accepted events.

Campaign faction correction — October 4, 2026

The owner identifies Wayfarers, the Hook, and King Canaan's Crown as campaign groups. Their names and recovered lore belong to the campaign faction roster.

The Roll20 faction source audit documents why the Saturday and Sunday journals did not supply those details. The user then identified the ChatGPT project and supplied the two original documents below. Published D&D factions now live on their own reference shelf.

Original ChatGPT project documents

Creation lore helper: reusable Darkling / Everterra world layer. Sections 4, 8–9, and 12–14 establish Canaan, the ancient network, Wayfarers, Hook, Keepers, and Watchers.
Campaign bible and Continuum instance: broad canon followed by a specific Day 17 playthrough. Mutable locations, deaths, repaired sentries, and the coalition's logistics are attributed to that instance.
Import provenance and hashes: original copies supplied by the owner on October 4, 2026, and the identified DnD Mindquest / Resume Farm Arc conversation.

The original Everterra world and Day 17 run are not silently merged with the earlier local adaptation. Corrections are explicit in the wrapper and character records. The local application mechanics, campaign book, saves, and live Continuum were not rewritten by the import.

Wiki references

Some direct Fandom page requests were refused by the web reader. Retrieved search results nevertheless provided cached article passages, often including source citations. Records based on those passages identify that access limit; details outside the retrieved material are left unknown. An article's historical description is not automatically its current condition in our game.
