&lt;div&gt;(Original Article Derived from the &amp;quot;Ultimate Comment&amp;quot; and so probably something to do with [[Stod]])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== What it is == [[Image:DimTrans.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The Dimensional Transfunctioner]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dimensional [[Transfunctioner]] is one of the [[eight gods]], and is usually placed first in lists of the gods. Its secret is &#039;&#039;&#039;[[It&#039;s only my room if you&#039;re in it]]&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Spire of [[Dublin]] ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dimensional Transfunctioner or Spire of Dublin was the winning entry for a competition for the contract of replacing Nelson’s Pillar. It is 120m tall and the largest sculpture in the [[world]], at nearly twice the height of Liberty Hall. It takes the form of a large needle which is visible from all elevated locations in County Dublin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Ultimate Comment]] includes the Dimensional Transfunctioner as the first of the eight gods and a device used symbolically or literally to access other dimensions. As distinct from the Maze Where Realities Converge, they are visible through the reflective parts of the Base Pattern. O’Connell street is said to be exactly the same in all realities, since it is visible upon looking into the reflection. However, anything out of eyeshot of the Spire (behind the Wall, or limit of [[perception]]) carries a probability of being a different universe. It would seem to be possible to climb through one of the “wormholes” in the Base Pattern, but the presence of one’s reflective self on the other side prevents anyone from entering the transfunctioner by conventional means. Many cultures - from Egypt to India to &lt;br /&gt;
Polynesia to Native Americans, Zulus and Siberians to the Celts to the Elves of Lothlorien - have used reflective substances as portals to other dimensions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In that it forms a boundary to all realities, and that it appears identical from all [[reality|realities]], it is likely that the actual monument is a complex immense hypercone shape. Its actual height (found by multiplying base pattern estimates and the monument’s one dimensional height) has been estimated at sixty kilometres. Naturally this is representing its dimensions from a [[hyperspace|hyperspatial]] point of view three-dimensionally, and is thus an abstract figure but it may give some idea of scale. Whether we are “inside the spire” or the spire is “inside our reality” is ambiguous and possibly irrelevant for three- or four- dimensional creatures such as ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The spire itself has attracted interest for tourists who view it either as an example of Irish folly or modern art, and it’s one of the few places in Dublin where you’ll find everyone constantly staring upwards. It was almost universally deplored as waste of public money or an eyesore by residents of south Dublin but is gaining a sort of ironic acceptance all across the city now, and some people are secretly proud of it. Even among the adherents of the Ultimate Comment there are those who would rather it had not been built, though they still recognise its awesome power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is also noteworthy that around [[Christmas]] time, most people will (knowingly or not) bring small models and effigies - which it must be noted still have considerable power - of the Transfunctioner into their home in the form of tall decorated conical trees (&amp;quot;Christmas trees&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The other end of the transfunctioner==&lt;br /&gt;
It has been theorised that if the Transfunctioner was the length of the diameter of the Earth, and even if the top sways in the wind, the bottom must presumably correspond to a diametrically opposite point on the Earth&#039;s surface to where the head of the nail might go in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That would be [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;q=53.34975S+173.73957E&amp;amp;ll=-46.13417,166.816406&amp;amp;spn=26.688092,87.890625&amp;amp;om=1 here] (Google Maps link)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seems like it&#039;d be a good place for it - out in the open sea, so the head would be underwater, and there&#039;s nobody around to see it get put in place except New Zealand, who don&#039;t seem to care about much of anything.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Duchy of Froyalan&#039;&#039;&#039; (generally and formerly known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Elwynn&#039;&#039;&#039;) is a Shirerithian duchy in northern [[Benacia]], historically lying between the two forks of the [[River Elwynn]]. It is one of the oldest duchies of Shireroth, being founded by [[Scott Alexander]] in 2001.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elwynn was founded 4 March 2001 by Scott Alexander. This began a peaceful era in Elwynn&#039;s history. Not much happened except for a brief period when Ivan Ventura was named duke (although he never really turned up). Scott made a coup and reinstated himself as duke. Later, [[Sirithil nos Fëanor]] was made duchess for a short while before being exiled due to [[tri-citizenship law]]s. She named [[Mari Greenwood]] her heir. During the rule of these two &amp;quot;women&amp;quot;, the culture of Elwynn began focusing on [[Elves]] and Elvish magick. A legend unfolded around the White Stagg, a mythical creature for the Elves of Shireroth. Elwynn had become a home away from home for the [[Menelmacar]]i diaspora.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Hyperborea]], then a barony under Elwynn, was getting more and more active, more active than Elwynn itself. Kaiser [[Mors III]], in a highly contoversial move, proposed a bill to the [[Landsraad]] to make Hyperborea a duchy and Elwynn a barony, and, after heated debate, it passed. Mari Greenwood left the nation and [[Ardashir Khan]] was promoted to Baron of Elwynn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ardashir began a vast &amp;quot;de-Elvenization&amp;quot; of the lands. In fiction (it should be said, of good quality) this amounted to a genocide of the Elvish population (now termed &#039;&#039;Elfinshi&#039;&#039;). The Hyperborean rulers grew weary and tried to stop Ardashir from &amp;quot;destroying&amp;quot; the culture of Elwynn. He was removed as baron, but quickly reinstated after calls from the Babkhan Shah and other pressure groups. Ardashir was free to continue doing his work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, Ardashir left. Elwynn was demoted to a county. [[Ric Lyon]] joined Elwynn and was appointed Count of Elwynn by the Pan-Hyperborean Council. He quickly began work on cultural projects, trying to reconcile and conjoin the different cultures of the county. Soon, [[Arminy]] joined, and Elwynn was transferred to Arminian rule under the Barony of [[Hurmu]]. When Arminy left, Elwynn was made a barony under [[Brookshire]] with [[David Beckford]] as the first baron. The population of Elwynn grew larger and larger, and it did not take long until Elwynn was made a full duchy again, now with Ric Lyon (Andelarion) as duke. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Elwynn being so strong in population terms, there were concerns from some, particularly Kaiseress [[Semisa I]] and [[Bill Dusch]], that Elwynn would declare itself disloyal to the Kaiser(ess) and even independence from Shireroth. Their fears were not realized. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were now in Elwynn strong cultural projects. The Phoenix Forest story was written by Ardashir, [[Ozarka Monto]] and [[AngelGuardian93]] and revolved around a fictitious hypothetical return of the Elfinshi people to Elwynn.

Now, Shireroth fell inactive, but Elwynn remained a duchy. After the short era of [[Mahamantot I]], Shireroth became active again. As Duke Andelarion being absent, the Kaiser decided to give the ducal throne of Elwynn to [[Harald of Ettlingar Freyu]], who quickly changed the name of the duchy from Elwynn to Froyalan (&amp;quot;Freya&#039;s land&amp;quot; in a Norwegian-Frisian hybrid), something that did not come without opposition.&lt;br /&gt;

== Administrative divisions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elwynn, or Froyalan, is divided into eight counties, namely [[Hyperborea]], [[Wintergleam]], [[Bjorngard]], [[Cimmeria]], [[Eliria and Utasia]], [[Smjörkýr]], [[Illumination]], and [[Lesser Zjandaria]]. No baronies have as of yet been formed.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;Zurvanism is a micronational religious faith of Babkhan origins which in the narrative of the fictional histories was first brought to Shireroth by the servitors of Ardashir Khan when he became Baron of Elwynn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Zurvanism for the most part derives its core belief system from the Zurvanite heresy within Zoroastrianism. However, owing to the inpenetrability of the original source materials and the idiosyncratic nature of its Babkhan adherents Zurvanism has produced a monotheism that is distinct from the original.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The faith is Deist in that it holds that Zurvan is not only the creator of time and space but that he is time and space. As such Zurvan is believed to be remote from his creation though that creator bends to his will though it knows it not as his will permeates all aspects of creation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Zurvan&#039;s Will is the glue that holds the universe together it does not act directly upon it. For the Will of Zurvan to be acted out on the mortal plane requires the intervention of secondary avatars which are eminations of the divine will that have taken form - the deities Ahura Mazda and Ahriman are manifestations of Zurvan&#039;s Will to good or evil respectively. Accordingly the unending war between light and dark, truth and the lie, does maintain the universe in a state of equilibrium that is ultimately what Babkhan philosophers believe to be the natural order and the ultimate manifestation of Zurvan&#039;s Will; that will the filament remains in constant turmoil and motion yet each part is related to the other and united in a sychronisity that is condusive to calm and balance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is uncertain where Namvarism, the worship of the deified Vizier Abbas Namvari, fits within Zurvanism. Whether he is the manifestation of Zurvan&#039;s Will, the Mahdi, or else an incarnation of the world spirit that belongs entirely outside of Zurvanism, has traditionally been a subject of speculation amongst Babkhans. Be that as it may the cry of &amp;quot;We are All Namvari&amp;quot; has been one that has enjoyed a long and close association with the Adherents of Zurvan.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
