Under New Management

[HogoBojo 4725]

Liberation of a Library
12th of The First Seed, 1858

 

“The need for knowledge sprouts from us all.”

 

 

An army of Elves, accompanied by volunteers and mercenaries would storm the Capital of the Illegitimate State of Haelunor, in an attempt to take control of the city. The goal, to show the power of the Silver Princedom and take control of the city. The mighty warriors would travel by boat, reaching the secluded isle with relative ease. Upon reaching the shores, they would climb the steps of the Capital, the gates drawn as they neared, allowing the troops to enter the city with no resistance. Not a single troop was in sight. The Liberators were welcomed, with no present citizens opposing the righteous takeover.

 

As the men and women liberators entered the city, they spread out to seize all aspects of the city. Some of the notable targets seized were the Citadel, Tavern, Military District, and of course, the Eternal Library. The takeover of the Library was headed by Prince Frederick I of Sedan, alongside several others. With no resistance, the Library was completely under the control of Frederick and the other accompanied warriors. The man would proclaim himself the Head-Librarian of the Frederick Library, and rename the building accordingly. The sign out-front would be changed with all due haste to reflect such.

 

With the Library gates taken over and entrances guarded, the Library was completely under control. Throughout the days and nights, the gates would be watched with a keen eye from the greatest of gatekeepers, Altheya Valin’dar. Over time, many fellow fighters would come by and visit the Library, reading the various texts and conversing. Truly this Reformed Library was a glorious place, one where the company of others and intriguing unique texts could keep one entertained for hours upon end.

 

May the Glory, Knowledge, and Prosperity of the Frederick Library continue for all Time.

Boja 'BB' Bojo stood behind the tavern in Sedan, her eyes scanning over the words. as she read, a smile crept apon her features, proud to call herself a Sedanian, she'd mutter...

"Ave Sedan.."

[Tabby64 1464]

Durin Hammerforge waddles into the library before slipping on a pair of reading glasses, acquired from a shop nearby "Toime teh read!" he cheers happily

[SilverTheMoon 13]

Altheya Valin'dar smirks from her position at the gate "Our books now suckers. Pay the knowledge tax or suffer."

[Crevel 7557]

"How can he keep getting away with this?" Leithedir An'asul would remark from the other side of the city.

[GhostSHTR 1205]

Caius Tiberius de Ravensburg would nod "Based" he'd state

[SaviourMeme 968]

The Senile Old Sutican searches his bedroom for his reading goggles before hurrying off to the library. "Maybe this new management wont try to kill me when I walk in" he'd mumble as he ran.

[SteppeNomad 1624]

The impoverished mercenaries of lubbas keep wish only to expand their minds. Yet they have not even been taught the library can just be visited by any, at any moment.

 

Well, as long as they are a citizen of the great state. Still they weep at the sight of our laws, for they do not benefit those who do not benefit the state. If you want rights somewhere, you need to earn them.

[King_Kunuk 3022]

A former librarian of the Eternal Library narrows his eyes. "This is just some elaborate prank done to piss elves off isn't it? The greatest con ever created"

[ReveredOwl 5639]

"So Sedan is out making more enemies for Urguan, oh the joy of having bands of apes fighting for you." remarked Walton.

[The Harbinger 336]

"whatdyer know... Bloodless takeovah." Glod muses

[Gnomeh 470]

Validus nodded with respect as she gazed down at the paper "I still very much despise those 'high' elves, not very high with those big shit talking mouths and snotty little noses ay?" she raised a brow with a smirk.
