Delrosh Archives

> "The only thing which separates us from our pre-industralized counterparts is our ability of preservation. Preservation of Knowledge, Technology and Culture for it is these key principles which form our very people and if ever lost, we'll be no more civilized then our ancestors who stalked the forests with stone spears."

 - Delrosh, Archivist and founder of the Tower.

The Delrosh Archives is a prestigious government operated semi-public Archive which stores all historical, cultural and technological information about the Kingdom of Zoscia and its inhabitants. Part of the larger Delrosh Institution which operates from within the Delrosh Tower, the building was originally created as the private home of the famed scholar Delrosh who wished for isolation and peace from the politics for his people; however this dream didn't last long because as soon as the Towers construction was finished, the Zoscian Succession War broke out in the south. Living in the cold inhospitable north away from civilization, intellectuals fleeing Queen Yirin's purges found sanctuary within the the towers walls and peace considering its distance from the war. Becoming a safe haven for the philosophical and studious, a small town would establish itself outside of the Tower proper, it being a mix of Black and Whites which was uncommon at the time. Being untouched by the war, Delrosh would join the greater Kingdom once the war concluded and open his archives to the public so as to assist in the healing of the nation and fixing the brain drain in the North. Having been an avid historian and emerging scientist, his collection was one to behold and as he allowed citizens to add to his Archives, it became a hotspot of knowledge which attracted the intention of his rulers.

Seeing the potential within Delroshs Tower and its vast undamaged stores of knowledge, King Ko'ak made an offer to Delrosh that he couldn't refuse: a senior position within his newly formed Royal Science Division and the transformation of his tower into a bastion of science and research. Accepting the offer, the Delrosh Institution was born along with the Archives sub-branch, a government operated organization which allows free public access to all the stories of Zoscias heros along with its history and arts; a true bastion of information within the Kingdom. Having reserved the upper floors for government sensitive documents, the Science divisions research and Delroshs personal floors, the tower has been transformed into a multi-leveled facility serving multiple purposes and hosts events every so often as a means to show off Delroshs personal works.
