A lorekeeper is a headmate that is knowledgeable of most, if not all, of the past actions of their headmates. This can be pertaining to past interactions, altercations, and relationships, specifically between in-system headmates, as well as tasks that headmates have carried out, or even the history of a headmate from before arriving in the system.
History[edit | edit source]
This term was coined by the Saplings in April 2023 to describe a brainmade little.
Term Origins[edit | edit source]
Lore is defined as "the body of knowledge, especially of a traditional, anecdotal, or popular nature, on a particular subject"[1]
Related Terms[edit | edit source]
A lorekeeper may also be considered an archivist or ISH in the sense that both are knowledgeable about system events. However, where an archivist might keep files and organize this knowledge, a lorekeeper holds the knowledge within their memory, similar to a memory holder.
A lorekeeper may work alongside gatekeepers or receptionists to help learn about new, old, or returning headmates.
