Perhaps one of the more curious of the Library's adversaries, the Revisionists are a small collective that have taken it upon themselves to imitate us in nearly every respect, including the construction of their own Library. While imitation can be taken as a form of flattery, this is certainly not the case. This act of imitation has led Revisionists to repeatedly attempt to raid the Library, seeking to steal tomes and artifacts with which to stock their Library copy. On top of this many, if not all, of the Revisionists possess the ability to copy the form of any being they choose. However, through trial and error, we have discovered some ways to differentiate a Revisonist from an otherwise normal patron or Librarian:
2. As the copying ability of the Revisionists does not seem to extend very far when it comes to memory, question the accused on past events pertaining to that individual. They'll find themselves at a loss for words and immediately try to escape to the nearest Way. We do not suggest following them, but rather contacting the nearest Docent or Page.
3. Give the person you believe to be a Revisionist a quill and ask them to write their name down. As it stands every Revisionist encountered has been left-handed, therefore giving away their identity should they be copying an entity that is known to be right handed.Modus Operandi
The Revisionists and their methods are generally shrouded in mystery. However, a handful of their tactics have been discovered by patrons and Library staff. The ones listed below are the most likely to have been utilized by Revisionists:
2. Utilizing a variety of unknown objects and at times, even sacrifices, the Revisionists seem to possess a ritual capable of deciphering the conditions needed to access a Way and perhaps even direct it. However, from what Library staff has observed, this ritual has a very low success rate and often ends with all participants being deconstructed by the Way portal.
3. Revisionists have been observed to utilize the endangered Darg2 subspecies of chimpanzees in order to evade Library personnel and steal literature from the Library. It should be noted however that the low intelligence of the Darg subspecies often leads them to either wandering off into the Library or leaving through the wrong portal.Findings
Through rigorous research concerning beings sharing similar traits to those involved in the raids it is believed that the shape-shifters among the Revisionists may belong to an ancient race of wanderers known as the Imitati. The following excerpt was taken from Mevrald's History of the Worlds.
Testimony
Below is a short statement from a wanderer that possibly entered the Revisionists's copy of the Library. He has not been seen in the Library since he gave this testimonial.
