Library of Morwrol

From Erudite Tales
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Library of Morwrol is a sunken, underwater labyrinth just off the coast of Oceanfell, a place said to have predated the Shattering. Upon its shelves are books that contain knowledge on literally everything - all things past, present and future, other worlds, personal biographies, completely unknown concepts and ideas, and even fleeting thoughts. Because there is an infinite number of books, the library seems to exist within a pocket dimension.

The Library itself is also sentient. It can directly communicate with the mortals that visit it while also giving instructions to the Librarians, ghostly apparitions that imitate the form of the species it talks to, to search for books and give them to mortals. Among some of the early tomes that were given to mortals were how-to guides on farming, structural engineering and magic. One of the most valuable treasures hidden in the Library is the Seasoul.

Despite the books containing all possible knowledge, the Library is virtually impossible to navigate without the Librarians' help. It would take someone thousands of lifetimes to search for the book they were looking for while the books that are readily available to them are complete gibberish. Thus, only the guardians known as the Librarians are able to find and retrieve the information.

Mortals attempting to seek knowledge without the Librarians' help will find themselves wandering aimlessly for eternity. Eerily, the library is also littered with the skeletons of those that spent the rest of their lives reading the books from the library.

History

According to legend, the Library of Morwrol is the place where Ouros is said to have first chronicled all his dreams before settling down and creating Erudite.

During the Demon Wars, the Freelancer discovered the Library of Morwrol with the help of the Palvari Tribe to locate the Seasoul.
