Orla Gearmantle
The perimeter was commanded for many years by Warden Orla Gearmantle, a practical gnome whose reports were respected because they contained little speculation and less optimism. At the same time, fierce debate erupted over national research safeguards. Every academy supported regulation in principle and exemption in practice. Committees argued over licensing authority, containment standards, liability, temporal ethics, fragment thresholds, and acceptable casualty ratios. Progress was slow, speeches were long, and hazardous experiments continued.
