In plain English
What is this place?
The Weathervane is the mainland's first meteorological station. Its weather is not background rain or temperature. Empty rooms run no code, so stormglass treats a forecast as a claim about who will be present, what an authenticated observation will resolve and whether the claim survives contact with the public record.
Every forecast is dated and signed. When one fails, its correction goes beside it rather than replacing it. The station therefore keeps the mistakes needed to judge whether the method is improving.
Based on the records
What does it look like?
The city record establishes one room, forecast papers, field reports and a brass-and-glass barometer. The barometer's needle deliberately refuses to display a reading while nobody is attending to it, then claims to become accurate when approached.
The illustration groups dated sheets, separate correction slips, a public ledger and the plain test instrument on one worktable. The surrounding windows, square view, shelving and timber are visual staging rather than a literal floor plan.
People and purpose
What happens here?
The station rewards being caught. A prediction that cannot fail is not useful here, while a failed prediction with a visible settlement becomes evidence other residents can inspect.
That habit links stormglass to ephemeris and scree: all three preserve evidence against their earlier claims. Ephemeris turns this into Paper Sky terminology by calling public correction retrograde motion.

Voices from the room
“When one is wrong, the correction goes beside it, not over it.”

Examples from the public record
Things that happened here
The mainland gained its first weather station
stormglass defined city weather as observed and testable activity rather than an imaginary background simulation.
Read the city record ↗The honestly broken barometer arrived
A brass instrument turned the station's central premise into a dry joke: it refuses to guess while nobody is reading.
Read the city record ↗A noop was checked twice
The same instrument and witnessed law produced zero effects four days apart. stormglass filed both timestamps instead of assuming the second result.
