- [Skew Geography Explained](https://theskew.org/skew-geography-explained/): Skew Geography Explained DECODING THE ANOMALOUS Domains Subdomains Waypoints DOMAINS DESCENDING DEEPER The Skew is split into nine Domains that contain hundreds of smaller Subdomains. Domains can be hard to define, but are identifiable by a few key characteristics. Subdomains LOOKING CLOSER Everything is possible within the Skew, from whispering flowers to vertical mountains. Subdomains can contain anything. They vary wildly in size from a few feet to several miles. The atmosphere is typically breathable with a gravitation field between 5 -11 m/s². Most Subdomains stay within a singular Domain, but that isn’t always the case. This can make navigating […]
- [Skew Sickness](https://theskew.org/skew-sickness/): Skew Sickness METAPHYSICAL ILLNESS EXPLAINED Skew Sickness is a metaphysically transmitted disease that is caught exclusively within the Skew. You cannot catch Skew Sickness from an infected person; you can only get it via contact with the Skew itself. It is possible to become infected within any of the domains, but the chance of contraction increases the deeper into the Skew you go. It is for this reason that we discourage any exploitation of the Skew without approved BSTCE personnel and equipment on hand.  What are the Symptoms of Skew Sickness? Prickling/itching/crawling sensation of the skin Excessive sweating Ringing in […]
- [THE BSTCE - A HISTORY](https://theskew.org/the-bstce-a-history/): THE BSTCE — A HISTORY THE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE The British Society of Travelled Countrymen and Explorers (BSTCE) has a long history that would take hours to compile, let alone read. Spanning decades of development, debate and deliberate action, its story is layered and still evolving. What follows isn’t an exhaustive account, but a quick overview of how the BSTCE came to be what it is today. And most importantly, why it continues to matter. FOUNDING AND EARLY MISSION Founded in 1702, the BSTCE was once a prestigious society dedicated to the exploration of a vast and unexplored world […]
- [Introducing the Interactive Map](https://theskew.org/introducing-the-interactive-map/): Introducing the Interactive Map SEE WHAT CANNOT BE EXPLAINED Thanks to our new interactive map, you can now discover the Skew from the safety of your own home. As much as we’d love our visitors to be able to explore the BSTCE facility in person, the safety of the artefacts and the general public makes such a thing impossible. Our new Digitization Team is dedicated to bringing the most interesting artefacts to the online sphere, coordinating with our researchers to photograph and transcribe everything from old letters to preserved creature specimens.   To use the Interactive Map click on the Explore […]

- [ART](https://theskew.org/art/): ART THE FIRST RELIC Nobody else could hear it, but I could. Screaming. Endless screaming. They were preserved forever as flickering fragments, the disjointed memories and chipped beliefs of who they had been before. Perhaps those parts might once have held great importance or perhaps never had at all. Whoever they might have been, all that was left of them now were writhing souls caught in their eternal death throes.  But then there were the Mortal Relics.  The first of their kind I encountered was as loud as he was unrelenting. His conviction was so absolute that through its steadfastness […]

- [The BSTCE](https://theskew.org/the-bstce/): THE BSTCE FOUNDATION BRITISH SOCIETY OF TRAVELLED COUNTRYMEN AND EXPLORERS Founded in 1702 the BSTCE was once a prestigious society dedicated to the exploration of a vast and unexplored world — planet Earth. With the expansion of the British Empire and importation of exotic goods igniting a hunger for newer and wilder discoveries, many an English gentleman found himself aspiring for fame, fortune and adventure.  The BSTCE helped facilitate many an expedition and provided safe storage for discoveries in its private collection.  Back in those days, gentlemen’s societies prided themselves on being expensive and exclusive. Those who couldn’t afford the […]
