**SCP-7341 – ** "The Lawmaker’s Codex"
Item #: SCP-7341
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-7341 and SCP-7341-1 are to be housed in a secure containment chamber at Site-██. The chamber must be constructed of non-reflective materials to prevent possible perception-based anomalies. Personnel are prohibited from using SCP-7341-1 to write in SCP-7341 without Level 4 authorization.
Any reality shifts or unexplained alterations to local laws within a 500-meter radius of SCP-7341 must be immediately logged and counteracted if necessary. Experiments are to be conducted in isolated, controlled environments under the supervision of specialized anomaly analysts.
Description:
SCP-7341 is an ancient leather-bound tome adorned with gold filigree and arcane symbols. It was discovered in 1968 within the ruins of a secluded monastery in ██████, Italy. The monastery, abandoned for centuries, contained remnants of unknown religious texts, many referencing a "scribe of divine balance." Alongside SCP-7341 was SCP-7341-1, a golden quill with an aged diamond-tipped nib, placed atop a stone pedestal engraved with an inscription in a lost script.
Initial translations of the inscription read:
"One scribe, one law. What is written, becomes. What is unjust, is undone."
Anomalous Properties
*SCP-XXXX only activates when written in using SCP-7341-1. Any other writing instrument produces no effect.
*When a person writes a rule or law within SCP-7341, it becomes absolute within a 500-meter radius.
*The first person to write in SCP-7341 with SCP-7341-1 becomes the sole "Lawmaker," and only their written rules hold power.
*If another person takes SCP-7341-1 and writes a new rule, all previous laws vanish instantly, and only the new Lawmaker’s rules apply.
*Should a rule be deemed unfair—favoring the writer excessively, contradicting natural laws in extreme ways, or violating fundamental principles of justice—SCP-7341 autonomously writes a counter-rule, neutralizing or balancing the original. This counter-rule always appears in the Lawmaker’s own handwriting.
*The book never fills; its pages remain endless beyond the most recent entry.
Discovery Log:
SCP-7341 and SCP-7341-1 were recovered in 1968 when an archaeological team, investigating rumors of "a book that wrote fate," uncovered the monastery’s ruins. Signs of struggle, burned parchments, and skeletal remains suggested the site had been abruptly abandoned. SCP operatives embedded in regional research teams secured the anomaly after one archaeologist, █████ █████, unknowingly used SCP-7341-1 to write, "Let there be light." Immediately, a persistent glow illuminated the ruins, visible even at night. When another team member took the quill and wrote, "The light shall fade," the glow disappeared, confirming the book’s reality-altering nature.
Further studies of recovered texts reference a group known as The Keepers of Equilibrium, who allegedly safeguarded SCP-7341 to prevent it from being misused. Their ultimate fate remains unknown.
Notable Tests:
Test 01: A researcher wrote, "All within this space will feel joy." Personnel reported an immediate but artificial sense of euphoria. When another researcher wrote, "Emotions shall be natural again," the effect vanished.
Test 02: A D-Class wrote, "Only I may breathe within this area." SCP-7341 countered with, "All within this space shall breathe equally."
Test 03: An attempt was made to inscribe, "The book must be destroyed." SCP-7341 responded, "The book shall remain whole until balance is lost."
Addendum 7341-1:
On 5/16/2009, SCP-7341 autonomously wrote the following entry:
"Once, there were many. Now, there is one. The cycle repeats, yet justice endures."
Following this event, SCP-7341's cover briefly changed, revealing an unfamiliar crest before returning to its original form. Researchers believe this may indicate a past wielder or an unknown organization linked to the artifact.
Current Status:
SCP-7341 remains contained. Ongoing research seeks to uncover its origins, the fate of the monastery’s inhabitants, and whether similar artifacts exists.
Excerpts of note:
Any reality shifts or unexplained alterations to local laws within a 500-meter radius of SCP-7341 must be immediately logged and counteracted if necessary. Experiments are to be conducted in isolated, controlled environments under the supervision of specialized anomaly analysts.

**Object Class:** Apollyon
**Special Containment Procedures:**
SCP-7468 is to be secured in a High security, multi-layered containment vault. The vault is to be equipped with reinforced memetic dampeners to prevent any external influence or mockery from entering SCP-7468 containment chamber. Under no circumstances should a foundation personal engage in a verbal or written interaction with SCP-7468 unless authorised by O5 council. Any personal interacting with SCP-7468 is to be monitored remotely via secure, non communication. Any personal found disrespecting or mocking SCP-7468 will be immediately removed from the premises and will be in disciplinary action.
SCP-7468's golden quill( SCP-7468-1) with it's diamond-nipped tip, is to be stored in a separate, individually sealed case within the vault to prevent unauthorised use of it. It is to be kept under constant observation for any accidental rule creation. Unauthorised writing in SCP-7468 is strictly forbidden.
In the event containment breach, immediate area evacuation protocol are to be followed. Given SCP-7468 unpredictable nature, all personal are to maintain distance and observe from a safe distance. Any change to SCP-7468 ideology state is to be immediately reported to O5 council.
**Description:** SCP-7468 is an indestructible book bound in ancient, aged black leather and gold leaf engravings. The pages are seemingly endless, each one pure, pristine and flawless white despite the book visible age. SCP-7468 possess the ability to alter reality depending on the written rule, creating absolute rules within a defined range. While the default range is 500m, the range is not fixed as the range can expand seemingly infinitely on will or by the creation of a specific rule.
The rules written in the book are absolute and once enforced, it immediately binds everyone in the effective range ignoring what or who it binds. All individuals in the range must submit to the rule, there are no exception as resistance is impossible. The laws cannot be contested or ignored and any attempt to defy the rules is met with complete compliance. The laws can be permanent or temporary depending on the rule written, but they will remain in effect until overwritten or negated by SCP-7468.
SCP-7468's golden quill ( SCP-7468-1) is capable of writing these absolute rules. SCP-7468 only works when written in SCP-7468. However, it's true power only when an individual with direct authority on SCP-7468 is using it, making the rules absolute. The book reacts to any form of mockery of disbelief, and it's laws will shift based on the ideological debates it seems to conduct in itself.
The true nature of SCP-7468 remains an enigma, as it oscillates between two conflicting philosophies: the belief in balance and the belief in absolute power. It has the ability to shift between these two ideologies at will, but only in the response of external stimulus. The most recent incident shows that SCP-7468 can, at any time, forcefully assert it's own laws when mocked, imposing devastating psychological trauma to any who defy or challenge's it's authority.
**Anomalous Properties:**
+ **Law enforcement:** Any law written by SCP-7468 is absolute and immutable once they are written. These laws overwrites all realities, and no living being in the effective range is capable of resisting these laws, regardless of their status or powers.
+ **Infinite range:** SCP-7468 has a default range of 500m but can increase it's range infinitely. This is either done by the book or by the written in it. Once SCP-7468 enforces a rule, it's effect can reach to any desired distance, continent or potentially even the entire world.
+ **Rule creation:** the book can write rules that were absolute and binding, altering all reality and behaviour of living and non-living things in it's range. The laws are not subject to questioning or revision once enforced.
+ **Self-Debating nature:** SCP-7468 appears to constantly debate it's ideological stance between balance and absolute power, shifting between these two extremes. These shifts seems to occur in response to external mockery of disbelief. When it's authority is challenged, SCP-7468 shifts to absolute power, enforcing extreme laws upon those who defied it's authority.
+ **Indestructiblity:** Any means to harm or destroy SCP-7468 resulted in complete failure as no matter what, SCP-7468 survived every attempt with no scratch.
** Discovery:** SCP-7468 was first found on July 12, 1987, in the ruins of an ancient library deep submerged beneath the Pacific ocean. This site was located after an oceanic expedition by the foundation marine exploration unit, which stumbled upon strange, undisturbed ruins of it approximately 5,000m below the sea level.the expedition was investigating strange seismic activity in the area when they discovered an underwater city believed to be 10,000 years old
The library was located within the ruins of a massive, stone edifice, part of a long-forgotten civilization suspected to had knowledge of advanced arcane and technological science. The structure was still intact, despite it's surrounding environment, suggesting the possibility of an anomalous preservation field.
Scp-7468 was found on a stone altar surrounded by a series of arcane runic symbols and ancient artifacts. The book itself was sealed within a golden sarcophagus covered with intricate engravings. Initial investigation suggests that the book was deliberately placed there, and it's anomalous properties were likely known to the inhabitants of the civilization.
**Addendum-1: The Mockery Incident**
During an attempt to study SCP-7468's effects in a controlled environment, several senior researchers mocked the book, calling it a **"child toy"** and questioning it's authority. In response, SCP-7468 ceased it's self-debate and enforced absolute rules making everyone who mocked it, knelt, and acknowledge it's supremacy.
Individual's who had SCP-7468 authority were subjected to extreme psychological trauma, unable to resist the reality enforced. This event ended when the book returned to it's debating state, and the traumatic laws were negated. The affected personal were left severally shaken, with some requesting voluntary termination due to mental strain.
**Addendum-2:Range Expansion**
During a test conducted by Dr. Ellias, SCP-7468 was used to create a rule that extended it's range to several kilometres. As a result the rule" All entities within 5killometer will be compelled to submit to SCP-7468" was enforced. The entire test area was immediately affected, and personal were forced to submit. SCP-7468's ability to raise it's range raised global concerns.
Further test confirmed that SCP-7468's range can increase indefinitely, potentially affecting global population of left unchecked. The O5 council has mandated the book to be constantly monitored to prevent any expansion beyond Site's perimeters.
** Note on Clarification:** Due to SCP-7468 unpredictable and inherently dangerous nature, coupled with it's ability to rewrite reality, it has been classified as Apollyon. SCP-7468 represents a potential existential threat to the foundation and the world at large. The range of it's influence, once the rule is enforcement, is currently uncertain but potentially infinite, making it one of the most dangerous anomalies every discovered. If SCP-7468 were remain unchecked, the entire fabric of reality could be altered by it's absolute laws.

User has been issued a permanent ban from the site. Afto and Kufat supporting.
Received the following response to the ban PM:
Excuse me? What do you mean AI generated material? I wrote that myself taking hours on how should I write it. You can't just ban me saying i used ai generated material when in reality i didn't.
Replied:
To confirm, is the submitted text the ban appeal you wish to present to staff for discussion? |
If you would like to argue that you wrote the entirety of your submitted material yourself with no AI-generation or assistance, please provide evidence of in-progress drafts (screenshots will suffice) and an explanation of why your article formatting only matches AI-generated content, and no provided site format templates. |
Their response:
I can't provide the screenshots because I wrote the entire material in one go, spending hours on it since I already had my idea in mind. If you are asking why the format matches Ai-generated format, i don't know—i just followed the style of the Youtuber DiscoveringSCP.
My reply:
To confirm, is this the full content of the appeal you wish to submit to staff regarding why you should be unbanned? |
Well, I can only submit this since I don't any other evidence, but please could unban me since I spent hours on it.
I will forward the text of your appeal to staff for discussion. You will receive a response regarding the appeal within 3 days. |
I also vote to decline. For records-keeping, Kufat abstained, Ari "did not object" to the ban.
User has been PMed with the ban decision. They may submit another appeal in one year.
