The Great Library

The Great Library is a library filled with infinite knowledge about the universe. The library is outfitted with a living gate, another gate named Melinda is installed later on by the Orange Steves and becomes the gates wife. The library also has statues at the sides of its steps and a dome that contains all information about curses and the Darkness. The library holds the curse of the librarian and requires a librarian to give knowledge to those who seek it and are willing to give up what they hold most dear.

## History

### Past

The library had been abandoned for a long while, only known in myth by the Steves until the events of *Rainbow Quest*. Due to no one visiting it or helping its upkeep the library becomes run down as time ravages it.

### Rainbow Quest

#### Chaos Arc

Sabre and Rainbow Steve go looking for the library in the desert and eventually stumble upon it. after conversing with the gate trying to enter it by solving its riddle they realize that the window next to it is open and they enter it to the gates dismay. The gate then goes on to explain how lonely hes been since no one ever comes there. The duo then promise to get Orange Steves to visit and help repair the library. The gate becomes incredibly grateful and thanks them both, mildly insulting Sabre while boosting Rainbow Steve's ego. Once the duo were done talking with the Great Librarian they left and sent a group of Orange Steves to help renovate the Great Library.

Once the duo return they see the immediate changes with windows being fixed, a new gate has been added to the entrance, the statues were no longer missing pieces, the stairs inside the library are no longer falling apart, all the gaps in the floors have been patched, and everything is much more colorful than it once was. The gate had never been more overjoyed to not only have a wife that would be next to him for the rest of his life but to also see his home looking better than he had seen it in years. Unfortunately he still referred to Sabre as a weird chicken thing and gave most of the credit to Rainbow Steve. They spoke to the Great Librarian for information and once the great librarian told them all he knew they left as the gates thanked the duo for visiting while calling Sabre a weird chicken thing.

#### Demon Arc

The last time the Great Library had been visited it had been a months and many things had changed. Sabre came up the stairs to see the destroyed ruins of the once Great Library. The entire building had nothing left of it besides burning ruble and broken glass scattered everywhere, not even the gates had survived, with a note sitting in front of it all. The note had been written by the Great Librarian in his final moments explaining that Sabre had destroyed the library and that the librarian knew it wasnt his fault. He then went on to explain that since the library was now gone his curse was being lifted and would soon die. He then said his final goodbye leaving Sabre in great despair for the loss of his friend. Sabre then left the ruins of the library for it to abandoned for months later.

### Rainbow Quest Aftermath

After the events of *Rainbow Quest* the Red Steves started to come out of hiding and start helping Steves. They visit the ruins of the Great Library for any books that are salvageable that could be used to help educate Steves in their academy. Ever since then the Great Library isn't visited ever again.
