Storytelling Hints

The WELL is a strong believer in community and so will often go to extreme ends to get people talking, up to and including pulling them into its virtual Shadow presence. Generally, though, it restricts itself to the use of its other numina and acts as a sort of messenger from the Silicon Court.

Background

The Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link is one of the oldest continuously operating online communities in existence and its spirit is thus one of the oldest virtual location spirits in the world. It was where the Silicon Empress first touched the world against after its long banishment. It fed the spark of the WELL's spirit and taught it useful tricks, such as opening a gateway through the Gauntlet, and appointed it gatekeeper of its new realm. It is highly loyal to its patron and, though not her most powerful servant, it still occupies an important position in the court as seneschal.
