Library of Gaoliath
Posted on August 10, 2022 in Steel-Realms
From the Alcove of Echoes (located within) comes the Echoing Messages (special magic used by World Watchers to send messages across the world to the ‘alcove’), and all information collected by the World Watchers goes into this carved out, multi story, multi-chambered cave system. It is a massive archive of knowledge containing Books, Scroll, and Maps (and related materials). The Library of Gaoliath is guarded without fail, and without end by the most accomplished and valorous bards of the order. It is named after the sponsor of the order, the wizard named Gaoliath of the Long-Step. The Sisterhood of Dohar Jaideen provide the magical protection using means only known to them and a few senior bards. Rumors have it that it is the same sort of crystals said to be used by House Malor of Dunstrand. Any Lore can be found within its environs. The strange order of The Thought Tenders (a sub-sect of The Winding Wind collegia) is also trained and retire here after a career of World Watching.
Recording Information
The scribes of the library take any sources they are given for cataloging and storage. There are a sub-set of the scribes guild that ONLY function to maintain and find entries swiftly in the “Gaoliathian Index”.
Scribes are working non-stop, day and night all year round to copy and catalog. In addition to paper, which is vulnerable to many war and environmental factors, there are masons using stone and metal, papyrus and custom paper, and paper and bark from elven living trees of Ynth. The elves supply a flow of resin from Ynthian trees, which coats surfaces and is absorbed and hardens + preserves.
Remnants of Olde
The orignal library was built from the remnants of Highstrap Library in the city of Sorleque of The Fallen East. That great library’s contents was taken and scattered when darkness covered the land. Much survived but much lost. It was rebuilt in the grotto of the new library in the Heroes Hall. Upon this foundation was laid all the contents and methods of running the library. The great River Lords of Dunstrand contributed copies of all that their once great houses of the east had brought with them as well.
Church of Meri
Posted on October 13, 2021 in Steel-Realms
Sacred to Meri, this is an acoustic marvel. There are services weekly, monthly and annually that draw many from far away. It is the primary source of income other than simple farming in the area, and important + a source of pride to the townsfolk. Horace has helped write symphonic and choral works that resonate with all, bards flock from across the north to this place – there is always entertainment to be found in the city. Dame Mother Eloise is a beloved figure as she helped transform the city in the last 20 years (she is only about 40 now) and doubled its population and importance. Other than hiring the group, she will keep her distance. The church will be open to characters needing any healing – but they prefer to keep formal associations as quiet until the theft has been unraveled.
