Archivist
For centuries chroniclers and librarians have sought the best
way to store vast troves of information. While most were
satisfied with scrolls, tomes, and books, the first archivists
strove for something greater, storing libraries worth of
information in one solitary object, and created the first
artificial minds. As an archivist, you are on the cutting edge of
arcane advancement. Like all new breakthroughs, you must
be careful with who you allow to witness this ability. How will
you use your fringe ability to create artificial intelligence?
