Introduction

One of the most important concepts in any Persistent world is the definition and use of items. Anything which can be used in the world itself should form part of a larger system which maintains consistency and conformity to ensure that they can be properly used and all fit within the chosen framework.

The Item Sub-system attempts to do this by providing that infrastructure and ensuring that all items fit within this structure such that all other parts of the Template are able to utilize items and their properties to the fullest.
