The Great Library

The Great Library is the home of Telomancy and its Guardian, Khafra. There are no doors in and out of the library, only a Gateway that leads to the Nexus as well as portals that lead to different areas and wings of the library. There are windows, but what can be seen through them is obviously an illusion, as they're different locations in every room. The Library is massive, covering the entire world, and a copy of every book ever written, even incomplete works and journals, have a place somewhere in its halls.

## The Public Wings

Much of the library is open to the public, containing interesting books on a variety of subjects. The entire library is self-sufficient and is run entirely by magic. The halls are kept pristine and clean and litterers will find their garbage mysteriously turning up again in their pockets or in their homes. Books sort themselves seemingly automatically and it isn't strange to see a few floating around, returning to their original homes after being left out for too long. Patrons of the library can take books out for no more then a week - should they not return the book by then, it will simply vanish from their possession and appear back on its shelf. Should harm come to any of the novels, the magic of the library will repair it...and give a little punishment to the offenders.

Those that come here to purposefully cause destruction will find their ability to get close to the books halted. Should they persist, they may experience harsher punishments then the regular lawbreakers.

There are a number of place scattered across the library made for reading studying. Comfy, plush couches, cushions neatly piled in the corners, desks with dividers for private study, and open tables for group reading and discussion.

### Library Central

There aren't many bookshelves here, but rather the lavish entrance filled with comfortable areas to read and discuss the literature found in the halls. Most of the books found at the front are more popular books - fiction that the public enjoys, in-style cookbooks, and new additions to the library. Sometimes you might find an author or two doing signings. There are two lecture halls on each side of the entrance, usually used for small classes or group study.

### The Center Wing

This is the largest wing of the public library and contains all the fiction ever written. With much of the nonfiction stashed away in the forbidden wings, it seems that's opened it up to fiction having a much bigger collection then the facts. There aren't a lot of study areas here, but lots of places to get nice and comfortable and get lost in a book.

### The Left Wing

This wing is a little less grand then the rest of the library, as almost all of the books here are handwritten journals and notes. They cover a vast variety of subjects - from fictional planning that never came to fruition, to adventure journals from other universes, to hand-written instructions.

### The Right Wing

The few factual books available to the public are found here, and while the wealth of information they contain is valuable, some readers find that their palettes aren't quite satisfied. There is little information to be found here on the Guardians of the many Worlds and Realms, nor on the pre-Children history in general. What can be found here, however, is information on different types of flora and fauna found in the passive areas of the world, instructions on different crafts and hobbies, books about current religious groups and society, and other harmless information.

## The Private Wings

Despite how massive the library may seem, there is still a section that is filled with knowledge that Khafra has deemed, for one reason or another, to be unfit for public consumption. The books in these wings, perhaps, are best left undisturbed. However, for the brave explorer, it might hold a whole wealth of information not found in the main library. Unfortunately, the contents of these books are a mystery - none of them have titles or identification

The halls themselves are dark and dusty. Little of the upkeeping magic makes its way in here, but there's a different kind of magical force in these halls. The magical energy is so thick in the air, it can sometimes be hard to breathe. While there aren't any living creatures or monsters to be found in these halls, it certainly feels like there's *something* here.

### The Dark Wing

This wing of the library is incredibly dark and have strange, demented books on a variety of disturbing and dark subjects. Besides the bloodstained journals of assassins and the insane ramblings of madmen can be found some of the dark secrets of the Worlds...as long as you're prepared to face the multitude of traps and curses placed on the books.

### The Forbidden Wing

Like the Dark Wing, the Forbidden Wing contains a wealth of lost books sealed away from the private eye, but this wing has an almost oppressive, foreboding air to it. Like stepping into these halls is a crime against the laws of nature, but the secrets they contain seem to reach out and beg the curious explorer to delve into their depths and face the horrible curses that protect their forbidden secrets.

## The Lost Wing

Nobody knows where the Lost Wing is or how to access it save for Khafra. Nobody knows what it looks like, except that it's where the greatest and darkest secrets are kept, as well as whatever book Khafra is reading at the time. The books here have been stolen in the past, but reaching their dark secrets is a challenging task as the danger these pose is greater then anything else found in the private wings.

This is the dwelling place of Khafra, who spends all of his time absorbed in all the books of the world, constantly keeping up with the newest releases, to determine where they should be shelved and which should be locked away.
