Excerpt from Esoteric Pilgrimage Destinations of the Gothic Sector, Volume 7, by Adept Matthias Laetorius.
"The ninth day of the Festival of Christophorus is dedicated to the
destruction of heretical and subversive writings. On this day, an archaic and
fearsome device of unknown STC pattern, called ‘The Vostroyan’ by the locals,
is stationed in the Plaza of Conviction.
The grim engine houses an incinerator, which serves to immolate any
prohibited books hurled within. Common examples of such texts include
anti-Imperial propaganda and xenologies which are too accurate in their
portrayals. In the year I attended, there were an unusually high number of
pro-mutant writings, which presaged a coming wave of conflict in the capitol.”

Oh, damn that is cool. Great repurposing of the old nutcracker.
