Three Great Libraries

The Great Gnome library, located in the overlap lands between the gnomelands and the elven city states, is also home to a renowned spellcaster school. It is a magnificent structure built into the natural caverns. Its entrance is adorned with intricately carved stone archways and illuminated by glowing crystals. Of the three libraries, it is perhaps the least useful in terms of ancient knowledge and sheer volume of text. But it is the best library for technology, the sciences, history, and most all things non-magical.

Ingenium, located in Pegro City, is an impressive building made of pristine white marble, with towering pillars and a sweeping staircase leading up to its entrance. It is controlled by the OWM (depending on the time period), and specializes in philosophy and military history, as well as more regulated magical texts.

The Sanctum Grove library, located in Proc Flana, is by far the most inaccessible, almost mythical. It is located in a swamp, in a labyrinth of trees that are all connected at the roots and are one organism. Even if you reach the library, you must be granted access by the Wizard Sortileges. It has contains powerful Briderus Spells, magical artifacts, and the type of knowledge that some may want to keep hidden (all three libraries have this, but the Grove most of all). It is the most extensive and well rounded library of the three.
