Librarian (Species)

The Librarians are widely agreed to be the oldest of the Library's inhabitants, with the possible exception of the being known as the Author, who some maintain was responsible for creating the Librarians in the first place. They are also the most common species inhabiting the Library, especially on the Main Levels.

## Physical Description

Librarians are typically bipedal humanoids, ranging in height from three feet or less to more than ten feet tall. They have perhaps the greatest physical variety among the inhabitants of the Library; some have two arms, some have four arms, others have six, and one unfortunate individual was recorded as having none at all. Typically, Librarians wear heavy robes or cloaks that obscure their bodies, although their glowing green eyes and white teeth can be seen shining through. They tend to have dull grey or black exoskeletons, although red Librarians have been observed.

Biologically, Librarians are sexless. There have been reported sightings of young Librarians, but no process of physical reproduction seems to exist among the species. Being functionally immortal (native, as they are, to a timeless world), population replenishment is not a pressing manner. New Librarians are believed to be born through magic, whether that be the actions of the Author or of other Librarians. Some Librarians have adopted the notion of gender from humanoid travelers in the Library, although the vast majority have no notion of it.

## Cultural Description

Librarians act according to purposes that seem bizarre or single-minded to humanoid patrons of the Library (as well as to certain other denizens). Most have a single task for which they are named-- in theory, for example, a Librarian whose role is to maintain the books of knowledge deemed too dangerous for consumption would be known as the Keeper of Forbidden Knowledge. Although exceptions are known, almost all Librarians spend their eternal lives in some form of dedicated service to the needs of the Library. This can lead to them seeming unpredictable or amoral to those who are unfamiliar with them-- their moral compasses, as it were, point neither north, south, east, nor west, but in the direction of the nearest stack of books.

There is a loose hierarchy among the Librarians. The task that a Librarian performs is not necessarily indicative of its social rank-- a Librarian tasked with dusting the shelves does not do so because they were ordered to by a higher-ranking Librarian, but in service of a deep-seated need to keep the Library clean. It is known that some Librarians are viewed as elders and arbiters by the community. These individuals, known as Abbots, oversee the other Librarians and work in concert to make decisions affecting the Library as a whole.

The Bindery

*"Pith."*

## Description

A place not just for book repair, but specifically for the binding and rebinding of books, whether due to age or other damage. Damaged pages are dealt with in Restoration Halls, where dozens of Librarians do meticulous work to recover lost writings. Although it is mainly Librarians that work in the Bindery, many of the workers are Spiderfolk; this is one of the few places that Spiderfolk can be found working in the main halls of the Library. With their silk and natural talent for stitching, those who are less inclined to the peaceful farming life of their people lend their abilities here.

## Locations & Entrances

The Bindery, like many places central to the Library's functioning, can be very difficult to physically locate. It has many entrances, hundreds all about the Library, but they are notoriously hard to find without the aid of a guide. All entrances lead to the same place; there is only one Bindery.

Some patrons report seeing groups of Librarians with arms full of crumbling books, heading purposefully in a single direction. Upon following the Librarians, at a cautious distance, these patrons found themselves in the Bindery.

## Contents & Inhabitants

Within the Bindery are rows and rows of work tables, material racks, and hundreds of stacks of books. The Bindery doesn't work on tomes long-term, so they lack many of the organizational systems that are crucial in Restoration Halls.

Dozens of Librarians and Spiderfolk work their craft inside, repairing book covers, repainting or re-lettering spines, sewing the books back together, and replacing damaged folios. Sometimes damage is found to be too extensive, and books are sent to the Restoration Halls for more intensive repair.

## History & Lore

The Bindery has always existed within the Library in some form. It has little particular history, but must exist as long as there have been books to bind.

## Behind the Scenes

* The Bindery was officially canonized on December 22, 2020.
* The Bindery was proposed by daftPirate.
The Crypt

*"Dark hallways. Do you hear the whispers?"*

*-/u/Ch3es1e*

## Description

The crypt is an ancient, mysterious section of the Library. Unfortunate victims of the Library's many dangers are disposed of here by a figure known as the Undertaker, their bodies sequestered in the dark labyrinth of the Catacombs. These bodies can be found, empty but somehow animated, roaming through the tunnels. The Restricted Section can be found in the Crypt, along with the shadowy figures known as the Whisperers.

A group of Librarians known as the Cryptkeepers inhabit this section of the library, watching over it to ensure that everything is kept orderly and that the Whisperers are kept fed. They are led by the Undertake.

## Behind the Scenes

* The Crypt was officially canonized on December 20, 2020
* The Crypt was proposed by u/Ch3es13
Silverfish Warrens

## Description

Usually they have simply overtaken a swathe of the shelves, but it is not unheard for Warrens to have been carved through walls or floors, and occasionally occupying the rafters. Some have been long abandoned, the Librarians having successfully driven the Silverfish from the area. There is no mistaking a fully active nest, as they are a hive of activity. There may still be useful or valuable materials to find in abandoned nests, as the Librarians aren't prone to harvesting of any kind. The danger lies in the fact that the ever-expanding Silverfish will sometimes send small populations to reclaim these abandoned nests, and aberrant Silverfish displaced from their nests will also sometimes return to these familiar places for shelter. As for active nests, no one in their right mind would try to approach one without the full might of a Librarian reclamation force at their back.

## Locations & Entrances

The nests of the Silverfish can be found in many different places, their original source unknown.

## Contents & Inhabitants

* Silverfish
* Silverfish Queens

## History & Lore

their original source unknown. Some nests are new, others, ancient. Silverfish need a place to propagate and retreat to when their expansions are rebuffed. Some nests are new, others, ancient.

Shusher

***The text in this article is taken from a Canonization form submitted on the Discord. It is NOT CANNON and is subject to approval on the Discord.***

## Physical Description

Yellow eyes, makeshift wings made out of rags attached to thin appendages on back, 3 arms on right side, one arm on left side, brown trenchcoat with cowl and beige outline, ragged pants,

## Purpose

Shushers act as a tamer way of keeping visitors quiet, perching from shelves and putting a finger up to where their mouth would be as a warning to visitors before gliding away to other sections of the library.

## Lore Intersection

It would expand on how librarians choose to interact with visitors, with Shushers being one of those who act completely peaceful towards them

Cultivator

*"Traversing through the rows upon rows of shelves and stacks of tomes, we came across something strange within the Library. From around a corner was a clear source of light, which we gravitated to like moths to a flame. We rounded a corner and were greeted by a Great Greenhouse within the Library. Inside the Greenhouse it was bright as day, though no sun shone within or upon it. We dared not enter for inside one of the custodians of the Library was hard at work. The Greenhouse was rampant with clusters of vines, which the Librarian seemed to be cultivating. The vine leaves, it seems, were fully formed sheets of parchment, and the Cultivating Librarian was hard at work, inspect each vine and selecting the most matured parchment for harvest. How such Parchment Vines can even exist is just another strange mystery of The Library."*

*-TiberiusOrion*

## Physical Description

The Cultivator is a large, four-armed Librarian, dressed in grey and yellow robes. They carry a sickle, a shovel, and other implements of farming, which they use to tend to the Parchment Vines and harvest their crops. Though they are among the tallest Librarians, standing eleven feet tall upright, they walk hunched over, belying their true height.

## Purpose

The Cultivator lives and works within a room in the Library known as the Greenhouse, which is the only known growing-place of a curious species of plant known as Parchment Vines. When harvested, the leaves of these vines are useable as parchment for both the creation of new books and the repair work done in the Bindery and the Restoration Halls.

## Behind the Scenes

* The Cultivator was created by TiberiusOrion and officially canonized on January 1, 2021

The Dramaturge

Easily recognizable by their blue robe, the Dramaturge is one of the Library's many abbots: powerful Librarians who preside over specific sections of the Library. The Dramaturge is known for their love of theater and performance.

## Physical Description

The Dramaturge is tall, with a blue-checkered coat over sand-colored robes. They have four arms, one of which carries a human skull, reminiscent of Yorrick's in the play *Hamlet*, which they can often be heard monologuing to in the unintelligible language of the Librarians. They wear a monocle, and can often be seen to carry a candle, a pen, and a book of scripts.

## Purpose

The Dramaturge is one of the Library's many abbots, watching over and managing a specific section of the Library-- in this case, performing arts. They categorize all dramatic works in the collection, ranging from opera to plays to movie scripts. They also interpret these works, interfacing with the text in a deeper manner than most Librarians.

As well as their academic pastimes, the Dramaturge also writes and performs their own plays. They are known to ask Patrons to stop and watch pieces of their works. It seems that the Dramaturge is unaware of the transformative effects that the Library has on those within it; if a Patron dawdles too long before the Dramaturge's stage, these effects are only hastened.

## Behind the Scenes

* The Dramaturge was proposed by Oceanus5000 and officially canonized on January 1, 2021

Atraenum

Atraenum are eel-like creatures that reside in the underground rivers flowing through the Catacombs. They feed on any creature unlucky enough or foolish enough to find itself on the shore of their watery homes. Solitary in nature, they only prey on creatures smaller than them; being nearly twenty feet long, however, this doesn't restrict their choice of prey by very much.

## Physical Description

Atraenum are eel-like creatures that can reach lengths of eighteen feet. They have elongated heads, with bioluminescent patches on the sides cranium, around the eyes, and on the ends of short, antennae-like lures protruding from the head. Their bodies are long, snakelike, and dull black in color. Their skin secretes an ink-liked substance into the surrounding water, and in large enough groups, they can turn entire rivers black. This ink coats their skin, and leaves it slick to the touch.

When extracted directly from the ink bladder of the Atraenum, this substance can be used to produce high-quality ink, which will not smudge or smear when used to write. The Spiderfolk have little use for this ink to their own ends, but they find it useful for trading with the Librarians who live in the halls above their home. To this end, Spiderfolk will catch and kill Atraenum, despite the danger that it presents.

## Cultural Description

* Atraenum were created by the user Milk, and officially canonized on December 22, 2020

Vaum, the Wandering Arcanist

Vaum is a human magic-user who has disguised himself as a Librarian in order to uncover the Library's secrets. Thus far, his plan seems to be working.

## Physical Description

Vaum is an elderly human male. He is heavily emaciated, gaunt-featured, and what little hair he has left is grey. He has disguised himself as a Librarian, wearing a skull-like black mask and clawed gloves and boots. He wears simple, sand-colored robes, belted at the waist with rope, and he has used magic to turn his eyes bright, Librarian green.

Despite his extended stay in the Library, Vaum has thus far managed to avoid becoming a Thrall. It is unknown whether this is due to his disguise somehow managing to trick whatever mechanism creates Thralls, or whether it has sufficiently amused this unknown mechanism to prevent his being converted.

## Biography

Like most sorcerers, wizards, and arcanists, Vaum long harbored a wish to expand his knowledge of the magical arts. Rumors of the Library reached his ears, and he immediately devoted his life to finding a way into the fabled place. Over the course of his research, he found that a colleague of his had visited the Library long ago, keeping a journal of their voyage. This journal contained detailed descriptions of a Librarian, which Vaum used as reference when constructing his Librarian disguise.

His disguise (perhaps surprisingly) appeared to be effective, and Vaum took up permanent residence in the Library. He does his best to avoid the Librarians, believing that he would suffer severe consequences were he to be caught. He spends most of his time seeking out new texts; in an infinite world of books, there is more than enough to keep the dedicated researcher busy. When he does interact with other patrons of the Library, it is to implore them not to draw the Librarians' attention to him. It seems that, thus far, he has not been discovered.

The Restricted Section

The Restricted Section is a closely-guarded section of the Library, containing ancient secrets and many dangers; naturally, it is a frequent target of thieves and explorers.

## Description

A chained off section of books, similar in layout to the normal library. These books contain the darkest secrets known to man or Librarian. Rumors tell of strange, dumb beasts, born of dark magic bringing life to forgotten books. These beasts are called by a number of names, but their existence has never been confirmed, despite multiple attempts to locate them.

## Inhabitants

The Silverfish in this part of the Library have mutated in unusual ways due to their habit of feeding on such powerfully magical books. They manifest strange abilities, along with a resistance to magical attacks.

Only the highest-ranked Librarians are permitted to work in this area, ensuring that no hoarding occurs and that no fire is ever brought into this place. Anyone caught carrying fire here is attacked and killed on sight.

Book Wyrms are also found in the Restricted Section, where they have been captured and chained by Librarians. For once, their hoarding behavior serves as a benefit to the Librarians, making them efficient guardians for the valuable texts contained within. Their reluctance to part with their hoards doesn't present an issue; the books here aren't meant to be checked out.

## Behind the Scenes

* The Restricted Section was officially canonized on December 20, 2020.
* While proposed by Gavin, the idea of having a Restricted Section in the Library predates the creation of the discord, and its contents and nature grew up organically among the users.
Book Wyrms

*"It was shortly after entering the restricted section that we began to hear the rattling of chains and odd, chittering growls in the distance. Now and then the chains could be heard snapping taught. We drew closer together, not wishing to discover what sort of beast the Librarians might be keeping here."*

*-daftPirate*

## Physical Description

Book Wyrms are massive creatures, ranging in length from sixteen to forty feet. They have large, draconian wings, scaled bodies, and long, whiplike tails; like certain species of dragon, they have no hind legs. Their heads are insectoid in appearance, with strong pincers and thick exoskeletons, and they are typically colored in shades of black, green, brown, or yellow. Like typical dragons, Book Wyrms lay eggs, and have extraordinarily long lifespans. They feed on any kind of flesh, and have been known to prey on Library denizens and patrons alike. They make their nests in empty shelves, which they convert into makeshift burrows and mock-caves.

Having a strong capacity for regeneration, it is incredibly difficult to outright slay a Book Wyrm. More than one, however, has been captured by the Librarians and chained in the Restricted Section, where their instinct to jealously guard their hoards comes in handy as a line of defense.

## Behavior and History

Book Wyrms are hoarders, like other dragons, whose sole obsession is books. They have an innate sense for any given book's value; they able to "judge it by its cover" so to speak. Magical tomes and scrolls are of greatest value to them. Their species being exceedingly rare, a meeting between Wyrms have never been observed; or. if it has, nobody survived to record the incident. They see all other creatures as food at worst and inferior legs that might be able to bring them more difficult to access books at best. It is difficult in the extreme to even be acknowledged as thinking creature to a Wyrm, let alone reason with it; most eat first and ask questions never.

The origins of the species are largely unknown, but commonly held belief is that at least two dragons independently found their way into the Library, discovered each other, and mated purely to propagate. Because there are so many transmutive (and in some cases corrupting) influences in the Library, there is no certain explanation for the physiological differences between Book Wyrms and ordinary dragons.

## Behind the Scenes

* The original design for the Book Wyrms was posted on reddit on December 6, 2020
* Book Wyrms were officially made canon on December 18, 2020
* The user who created Book Wyrms, daftPirate, also provided many of the original flavor texts used on this wiki.

The Catacombs

*"Books of lore forgotten by all sit on the decrepit shelves of the catacombs."*

*-CanPakes*

## Description

The Catacombs are a desolate place, shrouded in impenetrable darkness. Even the Librarians rarely venture down to the twisting tunnels, for all that priceless tomes may be found in the gloom. Fungi grow in profusion in the shadows, and cobwebs cover the walls like so many long-forgotten tapestries. There is some power in this place which seems to actively resist intrusion by the Librarians; those daring few who venture beneath the surface find themselves transformed into lifeless, empty husks.

## Location

Like all else in the Library, the Catacombs have no fixed location. Uniquely, though, there is only one entrance: the Catacombs can only be accessed through the Crypt where dead librarians are interred. They are sometimes described as being "under" the rest of the Library, but this is a mere linguistic convenience; in a place where things like gravity and geometry hold so little sway, no place can truly be said to be beneath or above any other place.

## Contents

For all its dangers, the Catacombs have plenty to tempt wandering adventurers as well. Books so ancient that even the Librarians have forgotten them can be found by those with the courage to explore the darkness, and many a patron has been lured into the shadows by the promise of knowledge forgotten by the world at large.

The Catacombs also contain the bones of ancient, long-dead creatures of unimaginable size and unknowable nature, harvested for materials and for their marrow by the native Spiderfolk. The trade in bone marrow is one of the few interactions between the Catacombs and the main level, for it is this marrow that is used to produce ink for the books created above.

## Inhabitants

The shells of dead-- or at any rate, no longer living-- Librarians haunt the Catacombs, commonly referred to as "Catacomb Librarians." Little research has been done into the nature of these beings, but patrons are advised to avoid them at all costs. Their level of intelligence is unknown, but the fact that their clothing and tools differ from those of the Librarians on the main levels suggests that they are at least capable of manufacturing new items for themselves.

In addition to the Catacomb Librarians, there is a species native to the Catacombs themselves-- the enigmatic farmers known as Spiderfolk. Named for their many limbs (sometimes six, but more commonly eight) and their ability to produce silk, the Spiderfolk keep mostly to themselves, although they have been known to trade raw materials with the Librarians of the main level. Patron finding themselves in the Catacombs may find some safety amongst the Spiderfolk, whose sense of morality is more closely aligned to classical human morality than the unfathomable motivations of the Librarians are.

## Behind the Scenes

* The Catacombs were originally canonized on December 20, 2020
* The original idea was proposed on the discord by the user CanPakes, and named by DimJim

Paper Golem

***The text in this article is taken from a Canonization form submitted on the discord.***

***It is NOT CANNON and was denied approval on the discord.***

## Physical Description

These are creatures made of paper. They often eat books outside of the section to grow, and actively destroy heretical texts. They are sentient, and wise. They live for about 500 years, after which the spark of life given to them fades away. If they find their own purpose, or are especially dedicated, they may live longer. Due to the fact that their original creator is gone, they are slowly going extinct.

## Cultural Description

They are similar to the librarians, in the idea that their soul purpose is to protect the books they have been assigned to. They are almost as intelligent as humans. Any who fail to defend their books in any way are shunned and some may become adventurers. Due to the fact that longer living golems were graced with more life or are more dedicated, elders are highly revered in this society. Wisdom is also regarded highly.

## History

The golems were born after a rabbi decided that the religious section of the library was not properly guarded. Now, years after his death, they stalk these halls, destroying anyone who would harm their charge.

## Lore Intersection

The golems and the librarians are in a constant half-hatred. Although the golems defend some books fiercely, they destroy others. So, while a siege on a holy text is going on, the librarians and golems would be allies. However, if the golems are invading another section that they think heretical, they would be enemies. A begrudging alliance was created long ago, stating that no blood would be spilled by the other people, except if a book is being threatened. If this treaty were violated, a war may break out.

The Quartermaster

*"The beast spoke like a man, though it's hulking size and black chitin showed that it was no human. It offered us it's wares, weapons of all shapes and sizes. In return? Books. It wanted dusty old books for holy weapons that had not been seen for millennia. It even had an axe of the dwarven kings of old, just sitting there, collecting dust."*

The Quartermaster

## Appearance

The Quartermaster is an elder librarian, on the same level as the abbots that wander the halls. They stand over six feet tall, making them a medium-sized librarian. They walk hunched over, and their chitin is a dull grey. They have four arms and six eyes, the latter of which are the standard Librarian green.

They dress in blue robes, high-collared, wide-sleeved, and trimmed with gold. They bear swords in two of their hands and slung across their back, the weight of which causes their distinctive hunched walk. Their other arms are used to keep a record of debts and credits from those who purchase their wares.

## Lore

The Quartermaster deals in weapons and equipment, which are gathered from the corpses of those who perish in the library. Accompanying them and aiding in their task are another class of Librarian, the Scavengers. Though their equipment is of high quality, the cost is steep. Debtors who refuse to pay up are transformed into Grinners, blind demonic creatures who serve The Quartermaster like loyal hounds. It travels often, moving from sector to sector. Some have theorized it has some connection to the Timekeeper, as it always seems to know where an adventuring party will go next, and is waiting at the entrance like he's always been there...
Elder Scribe

*"At first we just heard a steady creaking sound further down the aisle. When the source entered our light, we saw it was one of their kind, but with a markedly aged appearance. This was the first sign we had seen that the creatures even felt the passage of time. This one was hunched, with a wiry sort of beard that nearly reached the floor. Wielding an incredibly large, ornate brush, it appeared to be illuminating the margins of a tome. It's strokes were as smooth as flowing cream, but every movement was accompanied by an audible creaking from its ancient limbs."*

*-/u/daftPirate*

## Physical Description

Tall, stately Librarians with four arms, Elder Scribes are so old that many of them are sporting injuries such as missing eyes or damaged limbs. They all wear long, white beards; a curious affectation, given that Librarians don't grow any hair. Their robes tend to be on the darker side, with black and gold bindings around their forearms.

Elder Scribes' badge of office is their pen, which is almost as long as they are, and both a tool and a weapon. Wielded with surprising precision, it can repair the smallest yode or thorn in a passage; on the other end, the Elder Scribe can use it to unleash a devestating flood of ink, drowning those who threaten to interrupt their work.

## Purpose

Elder Scribes work in the Restoration Halls, overseeing the work and re-writing the most intricate of damaged texts. With their long experience and expertise in Library science, they also frequently serve as advisors and counsellors to the Abbots.

## Lore Intersection

Elder Scribes fill out more of the lore around the Restoration Halls, and add a threat to what is currently a fairly peaceful area.

Wanderer

*"It was only by chance that I learned of this one, and still I can't conclusively affirm its existence. But the common description among the various deputies, guard houses, and magistrates is too similar not to consider that it is more than mere coincidence. The question, is the entity simply observing these disasters...or heralding them?"*

*-/u/daftPirate*

## Physical Description

It has 3 arms, as apposed to the standard 4, is taller than a regular librarian and doesn't have the insectoid feet that is usually seen on the librarians.

## Purpose

The Wanderers travel from world to world and dimension to dimension recording data and bringing it back to the library to be transcribed.

## Lore Intersection

It adds a way for outsiders to learn of the library and potentially for players to get started on the path to the library. It shouldn't conflict with other creations/ locations because it is one of the few librarians who don't actually spend that much time in the library.

Titan

One of the Library's most colossal inhabitants, the Titan presents an imposing deterrent to any wishing to do harm to the Library. It is not silverfish or petty thieves that he is concerned with, but existential threats to the Library itself.

## Physical Description

20ft tall, Red burning eyes, wearing librarian rags, equipped with The Burning Blade of Chaos and The Cobalt Cutlass of Order, holding The Book of Damned Souls in one hand and The Book of Guarded Patrons in the other

The Titan stands twenty feet tall, and his eyes glow a burning red rather than the typical Librarian green. His clothes are ragged, but functional; rather than the typical robes, he wears knee-length trousers with a short skirt at the waist. He wears a necklace of humanoid skulls, which some believe to be taken from people whom he has slain in defense of the Library.

In tow of his hands, the Titan holds the blades which he uses for his task; the Burning Blade of Chaos and the Cobalt Cutlass of Order, each larger than a grown man. In addition to these, he also holds two books; called the Book of Damned Souls and the Book of Guarded Patrons, these contain the names of those who he is supposed to attack, and those who he is supposed to defend.

## Biography

The Titan initially appears to be a statue; unmoving, he doesn't even seem to breathe. However, it is his task to watch those who enter the Library, judging those who could prove a threat to the world that he protects. If someone dares to attack the Library itself, the Titan comes to its defense, wielding his twin blades with devastating effectiveness.

It is believed that the Titan's blades are as much a part of his decision-making process as his books are. There is no known concrete explanation for how he makes his judgements, but it is known that he is rarely, if ever, wrong.

## Behind the Scenes

* The Titan was proposed by Dumplin and originally canonized on January 1, 2021

Barkeep

*"Deep in the Catacombs, there is an inn for weary travelers. No one knows if it is one inn that moves, or multiple, as they are all owned by one man. Maybe he has identical twins?"*

*-CanPakes*

## Physical Description

Like most of his species, Barkeep is a large, broad-shouldered biped with eight limbs and brown-black chitin. Over a simple leather jerkin and baggy pants, he wears an ankle-length coat, checkered in tan and slightly darker tan and trimmed with the fur of some unknown but presumably subterranean beast. His is usually seen with his hands laden with foaming tankards to carry to his patrons, although one pair is usually left free, just in case.

## Biography

This same spiderfolk has been operating inns in the Catacombs for as long as anyone can remember. There are rumors that he invented the concept of the inn in the first place, although one hesitates to lend credence to them. All of his inns are identical, which has led to speculation that there's only one inn, and also speculation that there's more than one Barkeep. If he ever had a name, it has long since been forgotten.

The inns themselves are a welcome place of peace and safety in the dark and danger of the Catacombs. Barkeep's policy is to allow any patrons who wish to relax into his inn; much to the surprise of some patrons, when he says anyone, he means *anyone*, and Silverfish, Librarians, and even the higher orders of Atrambra are known to mingle around the tables.

## Behind the Scenes

* The Spiderfolk Bartender was proposed by CanPakes and officially canonized December 1, 2021

Enlister

*"At another juncture, we passed near an open doorway like the one which we had seen one of the cyclopic creatures enter. I came close enough to see another, slightly different creature inside, leaning over an obscured desk or table. Beside it sat a small tray on wheels, and on the tray, what I could not mistake for anything but a human heart. My gasp drew their attention, and the door was quickly closed and I, left with my fears and questions."*

## Physical Description

The Enlister is on the shorter side for a Librarian, close in height to a typical humanoid. They have only two arms, and their Librarian fangs are hidden behind a mask wrapped tightly around the lower half of his face. Although these characteristics might make them seem more humanlike and less threatening than other residents of the Library, the threat that they pose should not be understated. Their eyes are the typical glowing green of any Librarian, but far larger than is typical for the species.

The Enlister wears a long scarf wrapped around their neck and face and draped over their brown shirt and jerkin. Unlike the flowing robes of some Librarians, the Enlister wears pants with cloth wrapping around their waist and thighs; these clothes allow for easier mobility. Their insectoid feet are hidden by simple leather shoes, their calves wrapped in long strips of dun fabric. In their clawed hands, they typically carry a humanoid heart, eternally devoid of rot.

## Purpose

The enlister, like all Librarians, has a constant drive to help the Library. To them, the best means to carry this out is to convert humanoid patrons into Librarians. Their work is not perfect, however; while they always set out to create a Librarian, they can also unintentionally create Silverfish, Spiderfolk, or other monsters. It is unknown the precise mechanism by which the Enlister works their transformations; some attribute it to magic, while others take the dripping heart in their hands as evidence that the transformations are accomplished by some sort of twisted surgery.

## Behind the Scenes

* The Enlister was created by wombatbastard and officially canonized on December 1, 2021
* The Author was originally created as an expansion on the idea of the Enlister, but the two were later split into separate characters.

Restoration Halls

## Description

The work of restoring the pages of tomes damaged goes on here; separating waterlogged pages, cleaning mildewed ones, reconstructing pages and text by magical means. Lots of Librarians with telescopic loops, painstakingly revitalizing texts.

## History & Lore

Naturally, place as dangerous the Library will have books occasionally damaged by creatures/conflicts, and need a place to save them. Perhaps one of the very rare places where books are not magically tracked (a result of needing to remove their protections to work on them), facilitating possible heist plots.

## Behind the Scenes

* Restoration Halls was offically canonized on December 22, 2020

The Music Section

The Music Section is a repository for all musical knowledge ever obtained. An important aspect of many worlds and cultures, there must inherently be a section of the Library dedicated to the artform.

## Description

The Music Section of the Library is, as the name implies, the section dedicated to any music obtained by the Librarians. It is filled with sheet music for songs of all kinds, from jaunty tavern music, to sonorous hymns, to heart-wrenching love songs. However, a keen explorer may also find an ancient ritual chant or a demonic melody filed away within this section. To the average bard, the Music Section is a perfect place to find and practice the rarest and greatest of songs produced in any plane.

## Inhabitants

The Music Section is not without dangers, the biggest of which is the Singers. They are known to lure in and mesmerize unprepared adventurers with their songs. Those caught in the song rarely break free of the Singer’s charm, and it is usually lethal. Though usually found walking around the hallways alone, Singers will also gather with others of their kind for unknown reasons.

Also scattered around the Music Section are several concert halls big enough to hold a full orchestra, choir, and audience. It is in these halls that Singers usually gather in large numbers. The hallways of the Music section are more spacious than the normal hallways of the Library, and can contain music stands, tables and chairs, tuning forks, and instruments of various types. It is rumored that most of these items are leftover from bards and musicians that have fallen prey to the Singers.

## Behind the Scenes

* The Music Section was officially canonized on December 20, 2020
* The Music section was proposed by ScottyMelons and Gavin
The Dustsea

***It is NOT CANNON and was denied approval on the discord. Article is retained for potential use in future companion content.***

## Description

The Dustsea is a section of the library that seems to be a desert to outsiders. In reality, it is the results of the day-to-day functions of The Clocktower. The tower expels a substance called "the sands of time" by locals, and when it mixed with dust from eons of existence, the Dustsea was born. Full of ruined buildings and debris from a long-forgotten civil war, it contains knowledge from long ago, tomes waiting beneath the sands.

## Location

Like all other locations in The Library, The Dustsea has no fixed location, although it seems that it only reveals itself during certain times, possibly related to the Clocktower that is contained within.

## Contents

The Dustsea holds artifacts and mysteries from time immemorial, knowledge lost to time. It also contains rare metals, strange fossils, and so rumor would have it, the tomb of the founder...

Secret Keepers

## Physical Description

Standing 4 meters (14 feet) tall they only have 3 arms and inside their clothes their faces and skin is branded with hundreds of words and symbols, they all cary weapons and armor that are brown with the blood of their victims.

## Purpose

The Secret Keeper are librarians that keep the darkest sections of the library safe from anyone and anything. They're the first thing you'd encounter if you dare to step inside.

## History

After making a pact that cost one of their arms they are now bond to the Prohibited Section, never to be allowed to leave, they became quicker, bigger and stronger than any normal librarian. Their skin is branded with hundres of words that jump out of the forgotten books in the section. now uncorruptible they are one of the feel complete imune to the effects of staying next to those books.

## Lore Intersection

Collecting books can be dangerous. In a world of magic and monsters, one could find things that are far too dangerous to be let out in the open; knowledge that would unleash chaos and destruction from those who read it. The library has those types of books in a secret place: The Prohibited Section. A place where the horrors that would consume and destroy the mind of a intruder or wanderer are kept away in the darkest part of the library, behind dozens of walls and hundreds of doors. Such place has it's own keepers, the Secret Keepers, that protect the section, bound by a pact that made them loose an arm and becoming part of that ungodly place, their fate now to become wanderers that kill any intruder, as they believe dying by their hands is far more kind and quick than to loose yourself in an ocean of forbidden knowledge that will destroy your very being.

The Librarian

The Librarian

*"you better return your books in time"*

*-/u/The\_Goo\_Lagoon*

## Appearance

The Librarian is one of the tallest residents of the library, standing eleven feet tall upright. They have dull, grey-black chitin, four arms, and the standard Librarian set of yellow fangs and glowing green eyes.

The Librarian wears an ankle-length, yellow-brown coat over knee-length trousers and a shirt belted at the waist with rope. A broad-hooded cloak covers their head and neck. In one hand they carry a book clutched to their chest, in one hand they carry a copper lantern. With their other two hands, they carry Egyptian-styled weapons: one is a curved short sword, and the other is a crescent-bladed polearm. There is a book on either hip, bound in brown leather.

## Lore

The Librarian is one of the Archlibrarians of the Library, dedicated to maintaining the collection of tomes. They travel with a smaller member of the species who serves as an assistant to them.

## Origin

The Librarian was the first character created for the Old Library, published on /r/HeroForgeMinis by /u/The\_Goo\_Lagoon without any intention of starting a setting or a trend. Originally posted under the title "you better return your books in time," the mini itself was titled "The Librerian."
Ideas: Rope

}}

Rope can be crafted with string and thread. It can be climbed like a ladder but it hangs from a block above it. It does not attach to the floor or the wall. It only attaches to the floor with a rope buckle that can fasten the rope tight or you may swing and fly off the rope. If the rope is not fastened to the ceiling block or floor with a buckle, you will either swing or the fence will collapse if it is just tied to the fence. A fence will not be strong enough. Must need a buckle.

The Author

The Author is a controversial figure in the Library, a subject of debate by denizens and patrons alike. Some hold them responsible for the various species to live in the Library, or even the existence of the Library itself, while others attribute them nothing more than their basic purpose of bringing new Librarians into being.

## Physical Description

The Author is an average-sized Librarian, but their eyes are more teal than green and their chitin has a greenish cast to it. They wear dust-grey robes, trimmed with red; overtop, they wear a long, dark coat with a deep hood that shadows everything save their eyes. On their back is a voluminous cloak, supported by a pair of brass flares shaped into humanoid skeletal arms. There are two brass horns bound to the top of their hood.

On one wrist, the Author wears a leather cuff with a black metal medallion set into it; on the other, they wear a similar cuff, but the medallion is silver. They carry a magical tome with them, which they use to write new beings into existence.

## Biography

At their basic level, the Author's purpose is to create new Librarians from nothing, bringing them forth according to their role in the Library. This explains, in part, the incredible physical variety among Librarians; the Author makes them according to the needs of the Library, and so two arms, six arms, wings, or more can all be created as needed. Unlike such figures as the Enlister, the Author doesn't need a base to work from; they make their creations from scratch.

On another level, it is believed by many that the Author is the original figure responsible for the creation of the various species in the Library. Though the Librarians themselves have never weighed in on it, the Drones (whom one can assume share a similar worldview to their masters) believe that the Author created the Librarians in their own image, and that the Silverfish and Spiderfolk were created as attempted revisions to the design, which failed for one reason or another. The Drones venerate the Author as a near-godlike figure.

The Silverfish take a rather different view of the Author. While agreeing that they are responsible for the existence of the various species in the Library, they do not view the Author with any affection. The Spiderfolk have never been especially eager to discuss the Author; one might even call their reaction evasive. It is known that they have an Author of their own, an unassuming Spiderfolk druid who brings forth new Spiderfolk to replenish their numbers or begin new colonies. Some believe that the Spiderfolk's unwillingness to discuss the Author of Librarians might be part of the reason for their estrangement from their book-sorting kin.

## Behind the Scenes

* The Author was created collaboratively by a number of users on the Discord, but the final proposal was made by Miss Seven Million, and officially canonized on January 1, 2021.
* The Author originally grew from an expansion on the idea of the Enlister.
