Diaries and Letters
| The Letters in the library are pieces of correspondance between characters that are exchanged during a pulse in the saga, rather than during a story. Letters sent during a story are detailed as part of the story.
In addition to the stories and letters, the players also keep diaries in which they record their mage character's downtime activities, and if they wish, the private thoughts and aspirations of that character.
While the diaries do exist as physical objects in the game's environment, as a game mechanic they are utterly inaccessible to other characters within the game. This enables their use to be broadened from simply containing activity records, if the player wishes, without the risk associated with anyone else reading them.
