The city of magic. The home of the Eternal Library. Oldest city on the planet. Myth. Legend. Does it still exist? Sages believe that it can never be truly destroyed. But no one from the west has been there (or at least has returned from there) since the Cataclysm.

Locations Ca 252 AC

  1. Mekanix Workshop. Does it need to be mechanical? They make it. Including a bunch of things that probably shouldn't be mechanical.
  2. Kaz Rodan Smithery. All things hammered.
  3. Arin Kao Telecommunications and Transportation. We can get it there or tell you about it. As long as you don't really need it to be in one piece...
  4. Assisted Thaumaturgics. For all your will-probably-blow-up experimentation needs, at least the ones made out of metal, crystal, or wood.
  5. Corpus Sanum. True power comes from within, mostly by lifting weights.
  6. Pan-aetheric Unity. All things are one thing, except when they're different things.
  7. Mentis. True power comes from within, mostly by thinking about moving things.
  8. Dualistics. All things are different things, except when they're the same things.
  9. Temple of Self. True divinity lies within, we just haven't managed to dig it out yet.
  10. Temple of Fur. True divinity lies within cats, and we can prove it. Formerly sponsored by Absurdism, Inc, until it turned out to be more true than an absurd hypothesis.
  11. Top Alembic Recreational. Duuuuuuuude.
  12. Warin's Mutagenics. Don't like how you look? We can help. May take several tries, side effects may apply.
  13. Alia's Medicinals. We fix you up after you blew yourself up.
  14. Parin Chemical Supply. For all your will-probably-blow-up experimentation needs, at least the ones made out of liquids, gasses, or violently-bubbling concoctions.
  15. Annex. Everyone who wishes entry to the Eternal Library must check in here and meet the Caretaker of that place.

Population

Inside the city: ~3k

Outwall Farms: ~5k

Notable People

  1. The Caretaker. An amalgam of the people who have gained borrowing privileges (and thus left a copy of their personalities and memories at the library). Not a real ensouled person, but is the personification of the Eternal Library. Considered to be as unkillable as the library itself. Pissing him off is a bad idea.
  2. Arni Black-egg. Ancient black dragon, nearly 500 years old. Has been resident in Tal Elamor most of that time. Prefers the shape of a 5'2", 100 lb black-haired woman who rules Corpus Sanum with an iron fist. Also a proficient mage, but prefers to lift weights.
  3. Rhys. Lich and elemental mage. Unaligned, he doesn't belong to any of the factions.
  4. Gorgias Empiricus. Human male, 40s. Near archmage, leads Mentis. Strongly dislikes Arni.
  5. Haile Rastafa. Human female, 30s. Head of Tope Alembic Recreational.
