The Outpost of Thornheim was lead by a democratically elected Half-Congress. The elected officials (known as Congydwarves) were keen to record the events of the subsequent meetings, leading to a large catalog. Many of the details and issues of the minutes have no context in their recording, as the documents were for administrative purposes only and were not drafted for the purpose of posterity.
Stylistic consistency varied between each record, all of which were written by Mun Ogle, with the exception of those for the 7 Novtag, 804 BY meeting, which were written by Del.
