-- == + The Library of Dragur + == -- The Library of Dragur from Athera to Axios The Library of Dragur as it is know was founded in Vailor by Orithur, however, it was originally founded in Athera by a Dragaar named Aedrex and a Harbinger named Orithur. Throughout Athera, the Library remained a secret to most of the world save a very small group of people including some of the world leaders and the scholars that were recruited by Aedrex and Orithur to assist in the Library’s growth. Aedrex, Orithur and the scholars went throughout the world, scouring every corner of Athera in search of new books and the Library of Dragur became the largest collection of books known to the descendants despite its secrecy. After a series of catastrophic events in late Athera including the destruction of the well hidden Library, Aedrex left the Library in Orithur’s most capable hands. The existing roster of scholars was disbanded and the remains of the original Library of Dragur sealed for good. After much deliberation, Orithur decided that the Library was to no longer remain locked up in halls accessible to few but rather to be open to all. And so in Vailor the construction of the Library began. Once construction was complete the doors to the largest library known to the descendants opened. The Library found great success, procuring many donations over the years while providing everyone with access to an ever-growing pool of knowledge. Orithur also began recruiting new scholars to assist him in managing the Library as well as producing new books to stock the shelves. Throughout the Library’s stay in Vailor many new books were acquired and placed upon the shelves under Orithur’s watch and despite this he deemed it fit that he were to depart the Library, leaving it in the hands of an elf named Lyeth who is the Librarian of the Library of Dragur to this day. Under Lyeth’s watchful gaze the Library continued to grow much like it did under Orithur as she prepared the Library for evacuation should disaster strike, and strike it did. Orgon, the Spirit of Disease, Pestilence and Failure, descended upon the realm and so the Scholars of the Library of Dragur took to the seas on their boat which Lyeth made named ‘The Archivist’. Once landed upon the shores of the Isles of Axios, the scholars set out to find a suitable location for the Library. After much searching, they decided upon a clearing on the Southern shores of the Isle of Tahn and construction began. Once construction was complete and the shelves filled with books, the Library of Dragur was reopened to the public. The Library of Dragur’s Purpose “Within our world exists an eternal, unquestionable constant, and it is named ‘Time’. This variable is the single most destructive thing any reality may ever hope to observe. Time withers trees, it crumbles rock, and it takes lives. But time brings about discovery and new life, it ushers existence itself. And while time will forever establish events as inevitable, it can never entirely control them. This, remains up to us. Whether Dwarf, Orc, Human or Elf the path is never fully laid for us, and it is our combined efforts that see the future carved in our image.” - Orithur, Founder of the Library of Dragur The Library of Dragur’s purpose is to provide readily available knowledge that is accessible to all. By doing this the Library allows the descendants to shape the world around them for the better. The way the Library goes about accomplishing this is not only maintaining and growing the largest collection of books known to the descendants in the main Library, but by also setting up sister libraries spread across Axios. Throughout Vailor three sister libraries were established in Felsen, Celein and Willow Hollow. The Library of Dragur seeks to increase the number of sister libraries throughout her time in Axios and details on how to request a sister library in a city can be found below. In order to make knowledge available to all the Library must practice and maintain her neutrality among the peoples of Axios. Sister Libraries The sister libraries exist to allow the Library of Dragur to spread knowledge to those who would otherwise not have access to it. Whether they don't wish to make the trip to the main library or it being too dangerous to do so the sister library is there to accommodate. In order to have a sister library built within your city an agreement and a set of terms must be met and kept. These being: The sister library is to be stocked and maintained by a scholar of the Library of Dragur and they are to maintain possession of any books procured by the sister library throughout its stay. All book donations to the sister library must have a copy sent to the main Library as well as being stocked upon the shelves of the sister library. No harm is to be brought upon the sister library intentionally by the people or government of the city it resides in. If this becomes an ongoing issue then the city will lose its right to a sister library. In return for meeting these requirements the city shall receive: A fully capable scholar whose additional duties involve maintaining the sister library. An initial loan of 20 books from the main library chosen by either the city leaders or the scholar who will be maintaining the sister library. If the sister library continues to flourish addititional loans from the main library will occur with the maximum amount of books loaned capping at 60. To further discuss the possibility of receiving a sister library please contact either the Librarian or Assistant Librarian. -- == + == -- Current Sister Libraries: - Halfling Library Librarian: Armin Assistant Librarian: Mirabelle Peregrin -- == + == -- The Library’s Facilities The Library of Dragur has more than just books available to patrons.

Armin lowers his head, looking towards the urn with a large frown upon his face. He stands, silent, for an extended period of time before whispering quietly to himself. Immediately after he turns and heads back down to his room on the boat.

In the midst of the busy bustle of the Cloud Temple Docks a stray note seems to have fallen and come to rest upon the stone. The note is written in clean but somewhat worn out handwriting. "I knew settling just North of the Uzg was a horrible idea! I didn't want to leave as my home proved to be quite effective, but seeing that the wretched plague was on my doorstep I had no choice. It is a shame that some of the rewards I have reaped will rot away along with their previous owner's corpses, but what can you do, one can only carry so much! Perhaps next time I will be wiser and settle in a warmer area though. The snow and cold was not pleasant in the least!"
