The Library

The sacred library of Inta. The entire place is a living construct dedicated to the collection and archiving of documents. Mechanical ravens acquire publications and intercept letters which are brought to the Library to be copied. Various other works are brought by curious visitors and scholars and added to the collections.

The Library has several semi-autonomous sections. While all are part of the same massive construct, the interface unit is known as the Librarian. There is also a mysterious, unknown security unit which patrols the shelves, another unit which houses and organizes data.

The Library contains a functional ancient teleportation device, repaired by Rhazovire Whitequill and the Librarian. The magic governing the navigation of the teleport gates however is not entirely operational. Restoring the other gates will perhaps allow them to be used reliable.

Description
To the side there’s an area where there are a few broken wooden chairs and a few intact ones. There’s a crack high in the ceiling through which golden desert light filter in. A thin rain of sand, like a slow hourglass, trickles down in a glittery cloud, joining the large mound on the floor. At the far end there is a circle of ornate mechanical...things. Even a well-trained engineer would have difficulty making sense of the machine, magic woven throughout its circuitry. There are newer copper pieces attached to the silver relic, humming in their own distinct frequency, tying pieces together reinforcing the areas that are broken.

A raven arrives through some unseen passage in the darkness, carefully dropping a letter within the “IN” tray. The raven looks normal, except on a closer inspection they have no eyes and move just slightly unnaturally. Their features are painted and there is something clockwork-y about their beaks. They cluck and clatter at you, rusted beak grinding out weak crows that hurt to listen to.
