Grand Library of Dragur

The Library
The Grand Library of Dragur is a massive structure currently located next to Cloud Temple in the lands of Atlas. The Library is a haven of knowledge accessable by all people, regardless of if they're a Human from the Empire, a Mali'Aheral from the Silver State, or a walking corpse from the Abyss. The Library operates on a hierarchical system presided over by the Head Librarian, a post that has changed numerous times since its founding in Vailor by Orithur. Currently, as of 1699, the Head Librarian is Celia. Below the Head Librarian, the Library is presided over by Curators, also known simply as Librarians, and by Scholars who create additional works for the Library and otherwise aid where they are needed. Anyone is welcome to create and donate books to the Library, as they are always willing to grow their shelves with informative and quality pieces of literature.
In addition to writings, the Library has a section dedicated to artifacts. These items, which vary considerably in their power and value, are usually kept on display in a special wing of the Library for study and observation. By-and-large these items are donated to the Library, however, less often those of the Library acquire these items while out on quests, or during other self-lead operations, as the Library itself is utterly neutral.
Collection
The Grand Library of Dragur maintains a collection of many books from many different realms and cultures, with over one thousand three hundred books in total. The Library focuses on spreading and otherwise making available a mass of organized knowledge for the study of those seeking leisure, informative, or scholarly readings. As stated above, the Library also has a large collection of artifacts, both magical and mundane.
Members
The Library is home to a large group of Scholars who consistently work for the betterment of the knowledge contained within Dragur's grand walls. In addition to the creation of new works of literature, the Scholars aid the Curators/Librarians in the administration and aid of those who visit. It is the special duty, too, of those who work for the Library to aid those new and unfamiliar in becoming properly acquainted with the lands around them and those within.

History
The Library of Dragur was founded on the continent of Vailor by a Harbinger named Orithur. Since then, its collection of books and magical artifacts have grown tenfold. However, the Library was beset by many robberies and break-ins, leading to much of its interior becoming Scholars-only. It was once subject to the Second Inquisition by the Canonist Church, which led to the closing of the Library for several days and the original owner, Orithur, leaving the Library.
