History
The library is a remote location that is under the custody of The Concurrence. Throughout the recent history of the world, the library has acted as a repository of magical knowledge on the continent of Osuvanne, and is guarded by the magisters of the group with a fervour that borders on the aggressively selfish. From the early days of The Frayll Wildlands stretching throughout the continent, through the wars of Ascendancy, librarians have kept the magical and mundane secrets safe in the marble walls of Tundmatusse.
Early History and Construction
The dwarven mage Falillonar was famous in the pre-Tertiary Ascendency War era, and was known as the "Masons-mage". She was believed to have created several of the older dwarven sites constructed in and around the time of the fall of Tinch, such as Tor Valnari on [[Abbatchtka (Continent)]|Abbatchtka]] and Tor Wessenir on Osuvanne. The Library was believed to pre-exist these other sites, but whether it was fully built by the time the other sites were constructed remains unresolved.
Documents held by the Library suggest that the Library was built some three thousand years previous, but the true origin is uncertain.
Layout
The library is a self contained walled hamlet, with a marble wall extending 20 feet high around the boundary.
The main gate of the library is known to the initiated as the Alabaster Gate, and is overlooked by a lookout tower built up about 50 yards higher than the wall. The internal side of the wall is covered with trellis and ivy, with a walled garden growing vegetables for the magisters of Tundmatusse. A covering of bark and woodchips leads from the gatehouse to the main building and the surrounding outhouses, granary, shrines, fountains and colonnade.
The main building extends along the clifftop, the marble carvings in the acute sloped rooftops reflect the sunlight and shine brilliantly on a sunlit day. It creates an almost blinding light as you approach the island from Dwardle. The largest tower spire rises several hundred feet above the other buildings and is often obscured by a mist. Arcane lights orbit the spiral tower, and turquoise banners drape in the wind from it.
