Kyndige

« Back to Glossary Index

Kyndiges (“knowledgeable ones”) are those relatively few Bricklynites (less than 2% of the population📍) who are fully aware of the Outland, human world within which the Realm of Bricklyn is located, and of the likelihood that Bricklyn is a simulation. Only Kyndiges have ever entered into Outland communities, and that has largely been in the Vermont Outerlands — that is, those portions of Vermont within five miles of its border with the Realm of Bricklyn.

A number of Kyndige, through The Samfundet, are involved in research studies aimed at developing a plan for one day making the entire population of Bricklyn aware that they are located within an alternative human world and may be living in a completely simulated environment. This is a highly sensitive topic and we cannot at this time divulge any further information about these studies.

There are severe penalties for disclosing that one is Kyndige to others, including members of one’s own family.

Bricklynites who are Kyndige include:

  • the Chief Cosmologist,
  • the Mayor of Bricklyn,
  • the Chief Prognosticator,
  • the Seven Councilors on the Federal Council of the Realm,
  • the Chief Justice,
  • the Chief Medical Officer,
  • the Chief Historian,
  • the Chief Scientist,
  • the Principal Psychologist,
  • officials in the Realm’s Inland & Outland Consulates,
  • select staff at the Bricklyn Chamber of Commerce,
  • carefully vetted reporters for The Bricklyn Eagle, and
  • select university-level students who are studying for entry into the fields of history, cosmology, and psychology.

The Samfundet has also designated 250 other Bricklynites as Kyndige, through an interview /induction process we are not at liberty to disclose.
