| ==Gewgaw Arsenal==
| |
|
| |
|
| The '''Gewgaw Arsenal''' is a general term for the world’s collection of artifacts, devices and objects that appear to be linked in some fashion to each other and to [[One:Atherton%27s_Puzzle|Atherton’s Puzzle]]. Many of them were created during the [[One:Demiurge Plague|Demiurge Plague]], but a few are known to have appeared long before or after that period.
| |
|
| |
| The Arsenal is generally broken down into three categories of devices: Core Gewgaws, Major Gewgaws, and Minor Gewgaws. There are only four universally-recognized Core Gewgaws and a dozen or Major Gewgaws, but there are thousands of Minor Gewgaws. Scholars and [[One:Zebanites|Zebanites]] often dispute the categorization of some items in the Gewgaw Arsenal, but the following list represents the greatest consensus of each class.
