	~~The Gudersnipe School Proper refers to the campus of the school itself. The complex is said to take up an entire [[Known Worlds~~#~~Flat Dimensions\|flat dimension]] but it is likely a fairly small one.~~		#REDIRECT [[Gudersnipe School#School Proper]]

	The School Proper complex is also sometimes said to be three dimensions subdimentionally-linked. If so, the three worlds would include a flat dimension for the school proper, a pocket dimension, and a second small flat dimension. All such areas are known to exist but whether they are one sub-divided dimension or three is unknown.


	~~The School Proper refers to the portion of~~ [[Gudersnipe School]] where the students are actually housed and where lessons take place. The school has properties and facilities all over the [[verse]], so the distinction of the School proper is an important reference point.

	~~==Misinformation==~~
	Information about the interior of the school proper is limited, as former students are ordered not to speak of it, and aside from a few very rare cases, outsiders have never entered the facility. Some claim it is underground, as there are no windows.

	~~==Layout==~~
	Though the student population is small by dimensional standards(only about eighty million) the school proper consumes a massive amount of space. It is divided into four quadrants, each named for one of the cardinal directions. Structurally there is no division(one can easily cross from one quadrant to another without noticing) and resources are distributed evenly between all four areas.

	Space is divided between dormatories, teaching facilities, workshops, laboratories, storage, and recreation, and much, much more, with the vast majority of educational space dedicated to hands-on training areas. The school also houses the Foundation's cultural anthropology museum, containing artifacts and documents from countless extinct civilizations. Many, many people groups now exist nowhere else but small corners of that secret museum.

	~~The school proper is actually a single structure that consumes an entire [[Known Worlds~~#~~Pocket Dimension\|pocket dimension]], though is frequently described as "three dimensions subdimensionally-linked"~~

	~~==Location==~~
	~~The School Proper's actual location is shrouded in extreme secrecy, though it is believed to potentially~~



	~~==Gudersnipe School==~~
	The School of the [[Gudersnipe Foundation]]. Working on it. This is the training-complex (bigger than most cities) where the Crimson Blade et al. are trained. It is often called the 'School Proper' to distinguish it from the Foundation.

	~~Gudersnipe school mottos:~~

	~~''Licet abnocto hostes hostium absum illa inter tui compitum crinis''~~

	~~May the enemy be always between your cross hairs~~

	~~''Accedo a cataegis offa gladiarius, adesco abeo adventicius abicio a ab abs aetherius assilio meus inimicus.''~~

	~~Like a storm of swords, fire shall rain down from heaven upon my enemies.~~

	~~''Contendo orsa, etiam abnocto vespillo.''~~

	~~Whatever is said in Latin, will sound profound.~~

	~~</center>~~


	~~==Areas of the Campus==~~
	~~The~~ School Proper ~~contains numerous areas in addition to dormatories and classrooms. Almost all areas may be accessed by students.~~

	~~===Central G.A.T.E. Hub===~~
	The School Proper contains the nexus for the entire [[GATE]] system as well as the core technologies that allow it to function. Even with access to hubs and interfaces elswhere, the technology cannot be reproduced without the core components at the school proper.

	~~===Cultural Anthropology Museum===~~
	The School Proper contains a massive cache of artifacts from countless cultures, collected over the ages and stored in climate-controlled catalogues. Many long-lost cultures exist nowhere else but the museum.

	The Cultural Anthropology Museum also includes the only known artifacts from the [[Marcon Alliance]], including hundreds of scrolls containing their records and history, as well as the only complete copies of their [[Bravkar\|religious texts]].

	~~====Layout====~~
	The museum includes many floors in a simple grid-pattern, with artifacts stored in a display-style environment. A vistor could casually stroll through the endless environments, and see examples from a great many cultures and nations, most now gone.

	~~The floors, partitions, support columns, and ceilings are all white. This allows for the use of very little visible light, but keeps the spaces well-illuminated.~~

	~~In addition to strict climate control, the displays themselves are usually contained in time-dilation fields, thus ensuring that little, if any degradation will occur on items thousands of years old.~~

	~~====Library====~~
	Possibly the only library in the verse to rival the [[Library of Arindell]] is the library within the school museum. It contains millions of books, scrolls, and other documents captured from countless governments and nations all over the verse, all throughout history. Much of it has even been scanned and encorporated into the school's massive [[Gudersnipe Database\|database]]. Very few documents are delbrately excluded, such as those on the [[Marcon Alliance]] or others which may somehow compromise existing governments.

	~~The library of the cultural anthropology museum is considered the most likely resting place of [[The Handshake Document~~]].

	~~====The Stacks====~~
	The Stacks is an informal name for the lowest floor of the museum. This one is largely devoid of display cases, open(save for support pillars), and while it does contain some objects sorted by groups, the overwhelming majority of it is just endless isles of miscellaneous things and stacks of bins.

	The isles of The Stacks are so long that Rayleigh scattering causes the distance to merely fade into blue, without a visible horizon. This is the only known space within the school where this effect is possible, and those who have scene it typically describe it as "maddening". The ceiling is quite low(only about 12 feet), and the floor and ceiling are made from cement. Much like the museum, the environment is deathly still and dustless, all of which add to the deleterious effects.
