The Dark Tower Library - 66 38'N 10 3'E in the Kingdom of Britannia. (Trammel.)

The Dark Tower in the Village of Scythe houses one of the most extensive collections of Forbidden Literature in the whole of Britannia.

It is not for the faint of heart. You can find tales of horror and detailed descriptions of the Towers eldirich rituals amongst the torn and dessicated pages. But be careful. The denizens of the Tower hunger and sometimes the price for such Dark Knowledge is more than one might be willing to give.

The Avalon Township Library - Location TBA.

The Avalon Public Library was once regarded as being the most extensive and well known library on Baja. It however was destroyed in an inferno more than five years ago and much of the original knowledge was lost to looters.

The Purple Llama Society - a group of Scholars and Wizards that have discovered the means to travel between Shards - have taken it upon themselves to begin collecting the various works throughout the land and locate them in one location.

The location and extent of the library will be announced soon.

Aha! A library thread. We just made a decision yesterday to change up our libraries a bit. We're making our book shelves into public secures and will place copies of our player books on them so those who want can take a copy for themselves. We'll replace them as needed.

Thus I'll list the Foghaven Library which is the first library I'm working on for this new project. It's coordinates are:

11'10" N 38'15 E, East of Britain in Trammel

If you want a short cut to get there, there is a house teleporter in the home directly north of the Britain moongate. You can use this to reach our guild house in Foghaven. The library is just north of the guild house.

Nameless Rune Library, Great Lakes. I forget if the player book library to the right of it has a separate name or not but it's easy to find. Yew Moongate, Trammel, go south. Eventually you pass between two buildings with a banner nearby. East building is the book library, rune library is west building.
