The Thousand Libraries

The Day Court · The Greatest Archive in Prythian

The Thousand Libraries

A thousand libraries — rumoured to hold the knowledge of the world.

Where Prythian keeps everything it remembers.

A thousand libraries in Helion's sun-drenched realm. The Day Court's whole reservoir of magic, history and lore — kept by the best spell-workers in Prythian. Of course the archive of the world lives where the light never stops.

The place · A thousand rooms of light

Knowledge kept in the sun.

No shadows, no hoarding, no locked vault. The Day Court does its remembering in the light — a thousand libraries, a whole realm handed over to the work of not forgetting. Its people are the most gifted in spell-work of any court in Prythian, and they write the workings down instead of letting them slip into legend. So you get the closest thing this world has to a single memory of itself. The archive the Fae talk about the way mortals talk about myth — the one said to hold the knowledge of the world.

The keeper · A scholar on the throne

The most powerful mage among the High Lords.

A thousand libraries, and they answer to Helion. Spell-Cleaver. The most gifted at raw magic and spell-work of any High Lord in Prythian. An archive is only as deep as the mind that can read it, and the Day Court got the High Lord who wears his learning like sunlight — the one whose power is, before anything else, knowing things. We see why the books trust him with it.
