Summary
Nine centuries ago, nine exiled mages built a refuge on land where time itself faltered. From their campfire study circle rose Damerinth — first a sanctuary, then an academy, and finally the most powerful institution of magical containment in the world.
Now approaching its thousandth year, Damerinth stands as both protector and jailor: a vast university-city whose libraries hold every book ever written and whose halls hum with the quiet dread of control disguised as care.
This chronicle traces its transformation from Exile’s Rest to The Mnemosynum and the modern Age of Admission, when to be chosen by Damerinth is to be both saved and claimed.Series

Summary
The Mnemosynum began as nothing more than a pile of books in a spare dormitory — a place where exiled mages stored their notes, journals, and grimoires for safekeeping.
Over centuries it expanded, transformed, and ultimately transcended architecture.
From The Stacks to the infinite halls of the Mnemosynum, this is the record of how Damerinth’s library became a pocket universe containing every book ever written — and every book the world tried to forget.Series

Summary
The Custodian System formalized Damerinth’s transformation from haven to authority.
By giving the university a sanctioned global arm of containment and intervention, it ensured that no magical event would ever again escape study — or suppression.(see also: “The Origin of Damerinth” and “The Evolution of the Mnemosynum” for contextual history)

Summary
The Ceremony of Application formalized the transition between the uncontrolled and the contained.
It is less a rite of acceptance than an act of quiet assimilation — the moment a life folds neatly into Damerinth’s order.(see also: “The Origin of Damerinth,” “The Custodian System Charter,” and “The Initial Contact Facility: Procedures and Ethics.”)

Summary
The Eighth Statute transformed disaster into doctrine.
It binds Damerinth’s scholars to curiosity restrained by compassion — and compassion restrained by control.
It is the single sentence that made containment ethical, and thus made Damerinth possible.(see also: “The Origin of Damerinth,” “The Custodian System Charter,” and “The Ceremony of Application.”)
