Twatter as it appears on a typical Calbain computer screen

Twatter is an intranet communication platform that can be categorised as a "social medium". It was founded by Thom Loath, a first year student of programming at the Princely University of Pentyre. The social platform was built within one day and functions through the use of crude, unreliable commands that are notoriously difficult to understand or master. At this point, Twatter is fully owned by the Calbain government, which is engaged in an active campaign to promote the platform.

Twatter serves as the Calbain alternative to a similarly named online platform which was banned by the Calbain government in 1691 AN over its update of the terms of use. Following this rule change, the Unilaterally Independent newspaper ceased to publish on the channel, and the Calbain government seized the opportunity to side with the free press by immediately banning the entire communication platform. Shortly after, Twatter was launched as a means of communication. It was met with a mixed response from critics.

An investigation into the active users of Twatter has shown that at least 50% of messages shared on the platform are encrypted messages sent by the Calbain Security Agency. Other active users are the Calbain government, the Calbain Church and several accounts that share erotic literature. It is also a popular medium among students with access to computers at schools, since the programming infrastructure (which works similarly to a computer virus) makes the platform impossible to block through a firewall or whitelist.
