Archivist Magister

**The Archivist Magister**, referred to as the **Archivist**, is the absolute leader of the Great Library of Alexandria and arguably the most powerful person in the world.

## Description

The Archivist controls what will and won't be distributed in terms of information and knowledge. He or she commands what may be the most feared fighting force in history, the High Garda. The Archivist even has their own personal train, the Alexandrian Express. It can travel from London to Alexandria overnight. A good Archivist is a boon to humanity, and a bad one is a curse. A Scholar's Conclave elects a new Archivist Magister.

## History

The first Archivist Magister was Callimachus during the days of Pharaoh Ptolemy II. Without Callimachus the Great Library would not be what it is today, for better or worse. He began as the archivist for the Pharaoh, but his one true loyalty was to knowledge itself. All information about him comes from transcribed letters between himself and his contemporaries. Callimachus made the Great Library independent from the Egyptian government to ensure that the knowledge collected would be preserved. He refused to allow Ptolemy to exclude women from being admitted to the Library, saying such ignorance would blind and hobble half the world. He had a daughter, and she would be free to learn. From Callimachus, the Great Library went on to become a world power unto itself, and an institution that was perfectly willing to sacrifice human lives in the name of collecting, preserving, and controlling knowledge.

The discovery of mirroring is credited to the four hundred and second leader of the Great Library, Archivist Magister Akkadevi. It happens after the Serapeum of Ryy in Persia is destroyed in 1092.

In 1455, Scholar Johannes Gutenberg invents the printing press. He is killed by the Archivist Magister at the time and his existence and works are erased. When the Archivist made this decision, it was to keep his firm hold on power. Every Archivist since has chosen the same dark road. Jess Brightwell thinks that perhaps by now they can't see any other way.

Alessandro Volta was the Archivist Magister in 1795. He believed the American Territory had "become a fetid jungle in which grows a dangerous heresy." He wanted it rooted out by whatever means necessary. He believed the Burner philosophy must be destroyed for the Library to survive.

## Known Archivist Magisters

* Theo
* Murasaki Shirasu
* Khalila Seif
* Callimachus
* Alessandro Volta
* Zoran
* Akkadevi
* Gargi Vachaknavi
* Alfred Nobel

## Trivia

* The Archivist Magister has another title, Pharaoh of Alexandria.
* The Obscurist Magnus is prohibited from also being the Archivist Magister to avoid putting too much power in the same hands.
* The word Magister comes from Latin and is a title or form of address given to scholars, especially those qualified to teach in a medieval university.
Theo

**Theo**, better known as the current **Archivist Magister**, is the totalitarian leader of the Great Library of Alexandria. He is also known by the shortened form of his title, the **Archivist**.

## Biography

### Early Life

The Archivist Magister is rarely seen outside of the Library, instead preferring to act through his agents, most often his right hand man the Artifex Magnus. He is constantly protected by automata, Obscurists, and the High Garda Elite.

### *Ink and Bone*

The Archivist and the Artifex Magnus secretly plan to kill Christopher Wolfe, Niccolo Santi, and the soldiers by bombing the Alexandrian Express as it carries them and the postulants back to Alexandria after Oxford. The plan is to let the Burners capture the postulants, even though that would mean they get Morgan Hault, who is an Obscurist.

### *Ash and Quill*

Jess Brightwell meets the Archivist Magister face-to-face for the first time.

### *Smoke and Iron*

The Archivist is deposed and exiled, and most of his core supporters in Alexandria are killed.

### *Sword and Pen*

The Archivist is killed, and his remaining supporters are either killed or imprisoned.

## Personality

The Archivist is desperate to remain in power. His aim is to cling to power at all costs. At first, he remains behind the scenes, giving orders but never doing anything proactive to stamp out the rebellions. However, he becomes progressively more desperate and draconian in his attempts to stamp out rebellion against his authority. He ultimately becomes willing to burn the Library's entire collection of books rather than allow the institution to survive without him. The Obscurist Magnus before Keria Morning describes Theo as "a twisted, blackened rot on a once-great tree." He is fond of traps. He looks to the great inventor Heron for inspiration. While he might love books, he loves power more. Theo doesn't like to waste talent, and thus imprisons people when he can instead of killing them so that he can continue to use them.

## Trivia

* He was Wolfe's mentor for a good portion of Wolfe's life.
Ash and Quill

***Ash and Quill*** is a young adult fantasy novel by Rachel Caine. It is the third book in *The Great Library* series.

Jess Brightwell and his band of exiles have fled London, only to find themselves imprisoned in Philadelphia, a city led by those who would rather burn books than submit. But Jess and his friends have a bargaining chip: the knowledge to build a machine that will break the Library’s rule.

Their time is running out. To survive, they’ll have to choose to live or die as one, to take the fight to their enemies — and to save the very soul of the Great Library...

Printing Press

**The Printing Press** is the single most dangerous invention to the Great Library of Alexandria. Unlike in our world, the printing press has been suppressed for hundreds of years.

## Description

The printing press is dangerous to the Library's control and power because it doesn't require an Obscurist to reproduce a text. It would eliminate the Doctrine of Mirroring and instead creates fast, easily made reproductions of texts. The Archivist Magister in 1455, when Scholar Johannes Gutenberg invents the first printing press, calls it heresy. He has Scholar Gutenberg killed and his existence and works erased. The printing press would free people from "the Library's steady guidance" and "allow the uncontrollable spread of knowledge." The printing press takes the place of blanks and undercuts the entire system of the Library. It would also makes the system more adaptable and would satisfy the Burners because they want books they can own and the Library not watching what they read.

The printing press is a development that is so logical and important that is keeps resurfacing as Scholars and others invent their own version of it. As a result of the Library's desire to remain powerful, and refusal to adapt or change, the Library is forced to defend itself again and again against a purely good thing. Every time someone creates the printing press, they are killed or imprisoned, and their existence and works are erased. Christopher Wolfe and Thomas Schreiber both invent the printing press and are imprisoned and tortured by the Library. Wolfe calls his version a press-printer. Thomas's designs are more efficient than anyone else's before him.
The Black Archives

**The Black Archives** is one of the Great Library of Alexandria's most important secrets. To most people it's a rumor, myth, or conspiracy theory.

## Description

The Black Archives is where anything the Archivist Magister doesn't want being known is sent. All texts that are considered by the Library to be seditious are sent here. It's where the Library keeps dangerous information. Works that are interdicted from the Codex are sent here. The Black Archives are located in Alexandria, Egypt. The Great Library has suppressed and hidden tens of thousands of books they deem too dangerous to read. It's full of treasures and threats. The Black Archives are forbidden. Most people believe they're a story to frighten children, full of "dangerous" books.

## Known Works

* *On Press-Printing: A New Beginning* by Christopher Wolfe
* All of Christopher Wolfe's research and works
* *Liber de Potentia*
* Many of Scholar Plato's works
* Some of Scholar Heron of Alexandria's works
* Anything related to the printing press
Ink-licker

**Ink-lickers** are people who eat books.

## Description

Ink-lickers are wealthy people who eat rare books for the thrill of their age and uniqueness. Jess Brightwell is traumatized when he ends up delivering the only existing hand copy of *On Sphere-Making* by Archimedes to an ink-licker when he is ten years old. He describes witnessing the man eating the pages of the book as the most awful thing he's ever seen. The man tells Jess that "there's no act of possession more complete than consuming the unique." By eating the book, it will never be anyone else's.
Naomi Ebele

**Naomi Ebele** is the librarian in charge of the Serapeum in Oxford, England.

## Biography

### Early Life

At some point, Naomi completed her training with the Great Library of Alexandria. She is a Research Scholar.

### *Ink and Bone*

When Scholar Wolfe and the postulants are sent to aid in the evacuation of the Oxford Library's personnel and books, they are met by Naomi. She is there to help them accomplish an impossible task. She informs Wolfe that she sent the Serapeum's resident Scholar to London a week ago, and she's sent all but the core staff out of the city. She flees the city with Wolfe and the postulants.

## Physical Description

Naomi is a tall, thin woman of African descent. She has close-cropped graying hair and a bleak look in her eyes from the events in Oxford.

## Personality

Naomi is smart, caring, and brave. Her voice remains steady despite the violence and chaos around her.
Doctrine of Ownership

**The Doctrine of Ownership** is the second doctrine issued by the Great Library of Alexandria, following the Doctrine of Mirroring.

## Descriptionn

The Doctrine of Ownership states that the Great Library must, for the protection and preservation of knowledge in trust for the world, own all such knowledge. It makes it illegal to own an original text. While the Doctrine of Ownership is logical, it has led to the current age of unrest around the world.
Automata

**Automata** are the robotic, mechanical creatures that guard the institutions of the Great Library of Alexandria and punish wrongdoers. The singular is **automaton**.

## Description

Automata are created from the Library's vast knowledge. They take the form of animals and monsters, such as lions and sphinx. Automata's eyes glow blood red when they've been activated. They strike fear in all who see them. They look like stone but have the feral look of life. These machines move on their own and are incredibly terrifying in person. They move like the animals and people they represent. They're soundless, beautiful, and deadly. Automata have been programmed to kill anyone in their way. If one is unfortunate enough to be close to them, one can hear the whir and click of the gears inside them. The automata of the Egyptian gods are massive, as is the automaton dragon. Automata guard the Serapeums around the world and the Great Library itself in Alexandria. The automata are not supposed to chase anyone past the boundaries of their assigned Serapeum, but no one is willing to take that risk. The Library is always swift to cover up any innocent deaths caused by them.

Scholar Heron of Alexandria wrote a treatise on the uses of automata in Library service in the second century of the Library's existence. He wrote that he saw no reason why automata couldn't be used to frighten away "evildoers" from the Library precincts and other Library-protected places. It's also Heron's idea that the automata be based on creatures "both familiar and fabulous" to humans. He writes that lions have been considers "noble beats of tremendous power and cruelty" for a long time. He also suggests making automaton sphinx, as they symbolize wisdom, royal power, and strength. He suggests serpent automata can coil around columns, and horses could carry soldiers to battle. Heron also writes in this treatise that he will establish a new field of study with the express purpose of developing these automata. It will be done in secret so that their inner workings are not made public.

## Known Automata

* Lions: Guarding St. Paul's Serapeum in London, and guarding the Oxford Serapeum
* Queen Anne: Guarding St. Paul's Serapeum in London
* Sphinx: Guarding the Alexandrian Serapeum and the High Garda compound
* Egyptian Gods: Guarding the Archivist Magister's office
* Roman Scholar: Guarding the Translation Chamber in Alexandria's Serapeum
* Greek Scholar: Guarding the Translation Chamber in Alexandria's Serapeum
* Thoth: Guarding the Translation Chamber in Alexandria's Serapeum
* Spartan Soldier: Guarding the Hive in the High Garda compound
* Dragon

## Trivia

* The word automata/automaton comes from the Greek *autos*, meaning "self," and *automatos*, meaning "acting of itself."
Postulant

**Postulants** are those training to become members of the Great Library of Alexandria.

## Description

Postulants come from all over the world to train for a chance to enter the Library's service, but there are only six openings available a year. The test to enter into Library training opens with questions designed to test the limits of a postulant's knowledge. There are also Alchemical, Mechanical, and Medica sections. Children of gold-band Scholars get to go straight into training without having to sit for the entry tests. Berlin is known for having high scorers. England tends to have lower scores than other countries. Postulants then go to Alexandria, Egypt where they are trained in how the Great Library itself runs. The Library turns away tens of thousands of applicants, ultimately accepting about thirty to become postulants, and at the end of the training year, only six are given positions in the Great Library.

Jess gets a score of 750 on his entrance exam, the highest score in London. Thomas's score is 925. Khalila is the first person in the history of the Library's entrance examination to have a perfect score. Postulants are given special copper wristbands. Wolfe tests his postulants on everything from history to geography. They are expected to memorize the locations of all the Serapeums. He quizzes them on the proper usage of a Codex to conduct advanced research. He randomly asks them to name various previous Archivists. Wolfe requires all the postulants complete a basic High Garda training course. At the end of every postulant class is a field examination. The Artifex Magnus declares that the rescue mission to Oxford will be Jess's class's field examination, over the objects of Wolfe and Santi.

## Known Postulants

* Joachim Portero
* Izumi Himura
* Guillaume Danton
* Anna Brygstrom
* Hallem

## Trivia

* Most students have little tolerance for the drain caused by tagging and translating texts.

Philadelphia

**Philadelphia, Territory of America** is the center of the Burner movement, and has been for the last hundred years. It is also known as the City of Freedom.

## Description

Like many other American cities, it has a rebellious attitude. After resisting the Great Library of Alexandria for the last hundred years, Philadelphia is dying. The High Garda forces surround it, and the population is starving and desperate. The Library's forces surrounding the city are waiting for the signal to destroy the city. The people of Philadelphia are "a ragged, patchwork crowd of hard men, women, and children who have survived starvation, deprivation of all sorts, and constant attacks."

Inside the marble city hall building is a Translation Chamber. What was once a sports stadium is now used for mass book burnings. There's a long, low building made of heavy stone that serves as the prison. The people handwrite their own books, on paper they "rescue by picking apart the Library's Blanks and destroying their alchemical bindings."

The Archivist Magister orders the destruction of Philadelphia after learning that Jess Brightwell and his friends have made a printing press there. Part of the reason the Library doesn't destroy the city completely is for the propaganda value of surrender and capture. The Library is afraid that destroying the city would only create more resistance elsewhere.

## Known Locations

* City Hall
* Translation Chamber
* Stadium
* Prison

## Known Residents

* Willinger Beck
* Captain Wellington

## Trivia

* There was a real siege of Philadelphia, which was an ancient city in Turkey that was under siege from 1378 to 1390.

## Biography

### Early Life

Annis was brought to the Iron Tower as a very young child from Scotland. While she can see the element of effluence, her ability to manipulate it and use it to imbue things with power is very low.

Serapeum

**Serapeum** is a branch of the Great Library of Alexandria. The plural is **Serapeums**. They are found all over the world.

## Description

There are Serapeum in almost every major city in the world, but the pyramid in Alexandria, Egypt is the largest in the world. There's no more dangerous place on Earth than the Alexandrian Serapeum. The scholar in charge of the various Serapeum is called the Senior Librarian. Every major Serapeum is allowed to keep some original books on hand. They also serve as the collection point for originals confiscated from the local population in High Garda raids. A city's Serapeum is Library territory and under entirely different laws than the city it's located in. All Serapeums around the world are filled with blanks for public use. While they're open to the public, a person's access can be restricted or denied at the Library's discretion, limiting or cutting that person off from the information of the past and present.

Serapeum were originally envisioned as "daughter libraries" to provide the access and enrichment of all. Serapeum would elevate and educate the populations of the world. Some Serapeums weren't built as a Library building. For example, the one in Aylesbury was repurposed from an old church. Serapeums have a Reading Room and a forecourt.

Alexandria's Serapeum is a great pyramid. Each face of the pyramid serves a different purpose. One face provides public access to the Library. One face is for the worship of ancient gods. And the third face is for the use of the Archivist Magister, the Artifex Magnus, and the Curia.

## Known Serapeum

* The Great Pyramid, Alexandria, Egypt
* St. Paul's, London, England
* The Bodleian, Oxford, England
* Aylesbury, England
* Moscow, Russia
* Toulouse, France
* Milan, Italy (destroyed)
* Ryy, Persia (destroyed in 1029)
* Pergamum, Greece (destroyed)

## Trivia

* The word Serapeum comes from Latin, meaning "a temple or other religious institution dedicated to the Greco-Egyptian deity Serapis." Serapis combined aspects of Osiris and Apis in a humanized form that was accepted by the Ptolemaic Greeks of Alexandria.
Joachim Portero

**Joachim Portero** is a Portuguese young man and is part of the same group of postulants as Jess Brightwell.

## Biography

### Early Life

Joachim is from Portugal and is a very religious Catholic.

### *Ink and Bone*

Upon arriving in Alexandria to begin his Library training, Joachim befriend Dario Santiago. When Morgan Hault arrives weeks late to training, Joachim thinks she's not going to make it through the training.

He is killed during the escape from Oxford when he is stabbed. They are forced to leave his body behind.

## Physical Description

Joachim is shorter than Dario. His skin is a dull bronze. He cultivates a thin little mustache that fails to be a convincing balance to his heavy chin. He keeps a rosary on him all the time.

## Personality

Joachim is opinionated, and while smart, feels deeply uncomfortable in such a vibrant and diverse environment as Alexandria. He's biased towards non-Christians. He believes the statues of the Egyptian gods around Alexandria should have been pulled down ages ago. He's strong, and when called on, brave. Despite his religious beliefs, he is known to date many girls, often bringing them back to Ptolemy House.
Greek Fire

**Greek fire** is an incredibly dangerous chemical weapon. It's the favorite weapon of the Burners.

## Description

It's causes a conflagration in seconds upon being exposed to air. Greek fire turns the air toxic until it burns completely out. Breathing it in causes unconsciousness in seconds and death shortly afterwards. Breathing it in is like breathing flames. It makes a person throw up green bile if they manage to escape before dying. Greek fire is powerful, and "sometimes has a mind of its own." It is used by countries' armies, Burners, and the Great Library. There's a milder version of Geek fire as well. It creates a soft yellow glow when the chemicals mix, producing light but no explosion.

## Appearance

Greek fire is poison-green in color. It is a liquid until it ignites. It burns emerald and makes a thick greenish fog. In liquid form, it glitters like a turkey emerald and has a chemical reek to it. Just before it ignites, it causes a sudden, strange feeling of an indrawn breath on the back of the neck. It then ignites with a hissing roar. Greek fire is a thick, clinging substance. The thick goo clings to skin and fabric and can't be wiped or washed away.

## Trivia

* Greek fire is based on a real incendiary weapon used by the Eastern Roman Empire beginning in 672. It was usually used to set fire to enemy ships. The secrecy around Greek fire was so strict that the composition of it was lost forever and remains a source of speculation.
Celia Brightwell

**Celia Brightwell** is the wife of Callum Brightwell, and mother of Liam, Jess, and Brendan Brightwell. She lives with her family in London, England.

## Physical Description

Celia is a neat, pretty woman approaching middle age with streaks of silver at her temples that's barely visible in her ash-blond hair. She smells like lavender and woodsmoke.

## Personality

Celia is incredibly submissive and passive, most likely as a result of being married to such an abusive man. She never protests Callum's treatment of her children, until the death of Brendan. Celia has never been close to Jess and Brendan. She is incredibly fake. Her show of concern is empty. She takes great pains to look and act gentrified. Jess says that he's always loved his mother but has never known her. She never seemed like a real, live person, instead she was more like a silent statue.

Merlee

## Early Life

Merlee was born, who knows where, originally, but eventually she was found in a fishing net by some sailors who dubbed her “Fish” and they raised her till she got to port where they dropped her off with little to no supervision, She was then picked up by another crew. This happened often until she grew older to age 12 where she was expected to earn a keep as a deckswab on a ship of pirates and was taught to wield a sword. Four years later she was given to a elderly Dwarven couple who wished to raise her, at this point she was 16 and acted and spoke like a sailor, nonetheless they treated her with kindness. Two years later the Dwarven couple were discovered to have in their younger years conspired against the king, and were charged with treason. This jump started her career as a pirate of which she will likely tell at bars and campfires.

She woke up in the sea and swam out trying to find civilization where she found Silore and the kind and beautiful Saree who offered her a drink. There she renamed herself Merlee Danger Kassius to keep herself safe.

Humans

The appearance of humans in the Realm varied wildly. The values here present a general range. For the full diversity of skin colors, hair colors, eye colors, hairstyles, and builds, see the individual entries for the many human ethnicities presented in the navigation box at the bottom of this article.

**Humans** on Oracle were widespread, could be found in most regions and, in general, were fierce and disagreeable, which could sometimes lead certain other races to view them with contempt. They were renowned for their diversity and ambition, and although they lacked specialization, they could excel in many areas.

## Etymology

### Names for Humans

Many races had their own unique terminology by which they referred to humans. Elves were known to call them the *manyhanded*, in reference to an old elven insult the "Manyhanded Curse," while Orcs referred to them as the *brittle bones*. Dragons referred to them as *munthrek*. In the Giant language they were known as *van*.

## History

The origin of humanity was unknown. Humans had no unifying creation myth. However, they were certainly an ancient race, having originated since before written records existed and were frequently considered one of the creator races, though they weren't known to have actually created any species.

Regardless of their precise origins, humans were undeniably successful. While hardly the only dominant race of Oracle, humans were one of them and the most recent to obtain dominance. In spite of this strength, or perhaps because of it, humanity was an eternally fractured and divided race, broken up into over a dozen ethnic offshoots. It was believed that this was in part because humanity, unlike most other races, did not emerge as a whole but rather in several places at once, thereby resulting in its diversity.

## Society

While natural subraces of humans were rare, a few did exist with either natural or unnatural origins and were considered as such because of unique biological or magical quirks.
