Formally known as the “Samfundet af de Kyndige” (roughly translated from Danish as the Community or Society of the Knowledgeable Ones”), this secret organization is responsible for maintaining the registry of those Bricklynites who are fully aware of the existence of the Outland world (including the Realm of Bricklyn’s “linked” cities of Burlington, South Burlington, and Essex Junction) and the fact that there is a strong chance that Bricklyn exists as a simulation and is not “real.”

No more than 2% of Bricklyn’s population are Kyndiges (“knowledgeable ones”), and there are severe penalties for disclosing that one is a Kyndige or a member of the Samfundet to others, including members of one’s own family.

Needless to say, the existence of this secret minority has had a profound effect on Bricklyn, some will say for the better, others for the worse.📍

📍 Note that all Bricklyn Eagle correspondents working for our Outland edition (which you are now reading) are Kyndige.

The Samfundet is involved in organizing, in cooperation with Bricklyn government officials (primarily the Chief Prognosticator and the Chief Cosmologist), 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.
