Intro
The library rests where rest is provided, yet It sits deep within.
It gives to some and not to others yet does not judge.
It speaks with the howling winds but is quiet and meek.
It has no physical gift of power but holds the power given by existence.
Those who seek the Library must let go of society to learn of it once more.
Lore
Purpose
The Arcane Chronicle is an order that collects and protects the knowledge of the land. From languages to poems or common construction to arcane processes, the Arcane Chronicle does what it must to keep the knowledge safe. Along with protecting knowledge, the members of this order help many in research of subjects from around the world. They study the stars, divine deities, and ancient powers of the world. They generally stay neutral but assist those who will not abuse the knowledge gained. Recently they have taken a turn for the worse, their new goals are hidden from the world as they await the solar eclipse. The new order is now ruled by a mysterious man only know as a prophet.
Beliefs
Though the order is primarily religiously strict, some religions and beliefs are accepted. These being, worship of Aeriel, or any other known Aengul and Daemon. In the earliest records of the order, members were animistic and worshipped the Moon. They followed the call of the moon as their will. They worshipped nature as an all powerful entity. Over time word spread of the Aenguls and Daemons. At first the order counted it as more stories amoungst men but over time the Aengul's and Daemon's works told them otherwise. The worship of nature was removed and now they merely see nature as one force of energy to be worshipped and controlled. They try to connect to the "stream" of energy and life around them. Some meditate in a calm area, while others meditate in the roughest forces of nature. Whatever allows them to open their senses to nature and its power.

The High Archiver documents the history of the order and its members.

The Grand Archiver takes over the guild as leader if the High Chronicler no longer is in the position. The Grand Archiver, collects books on the history of nations cities and towns for the library.
Elders or Paelarke are the council members of the order. There are seven elders in a council. The elders make the main decisions of the order that relate to issues within the order. The Elders all come from different positions and are the most knowledgeable and wise within the order. They can give orders to all members under the Grand Archiver rank. The Elders are seen as seers of the order. They decde where the order goes and what it does with the High Chronicler. The Elders Typically are near masters in their area of study. The elders of the order are known as the seven suns. They represent time and change figuratively(Seven "lights" of a day: Early and Late Dawn 2, Mid day, Early and late Dusk 2, Moon, Eclipse.)
Sentinels or Aelarke seek out information and supplies of the public. The sentinels journey to foreign lands and document their sightings. These men and women wear thin black robes with minor dark leather armour pieces. Their skin is painted white and they have unique red painted designs along their body.
Guardians or Arkeon stay at the sanctum protecting the order’s members and the information within it. Guardians are bound by honour but also hold themselves to a scholarly standard as protecters of knowledge. Though the guardians primarily work as guards, they pride themselves in studying of other cultures and languages. These men and women wear ceremonial armour at all times of duty and have their skin painted white with blue designs.
Eclimancers or Thalaki are people more atuned to the spiritual world. These people are typically animistic and feel the world around them. To stay in sync with the forces of nature, they wear a bandage over their bodies with seals. Eclimancers roam the lands feeling out the world and its power. They meditate within the forces of nature to become closer to the nature around them. Eclimancers study life, entities, and energies of the earth. A eclimancer believe that true power is on within nature rather than beings of the realm. Eclimancers are scholars of the stars. They wear clothes similar to what the eclipse looks like and usually have yellowish eyes due to the eclipses "rays" of energy. Eclimancers meditate in the shine of the moon or sun. Eclimancers have the unique have a special right to hold festivals on the eclipse for rituals and ceremonies of the order.
