Library of Siklios

The Library of Siklios is an ancient and mysterious library located in the deserts of Zaxor. It was built by a long-forgotten civilization and has been shrouded in mystery for centuries. Little is known about its origin, although some believe it to be the work of a powerful mage who wanted to preserve knowledge from past ages.

The library itself is massive, with thousands upon thousands of shelves filled with books written in languages that are both unknown and lost to time. Many adventurers have ventured into this forbidden place seeking out its secrets, but only a few have ever returned alive after facing the deadly creatures that lurk within these walls. Legends speak of great treasures hidden deep within its depths as well as powerful artefacts capable of unleashing immense magical power if used properly - all waiting for those brave enough to seek them out.
Little else is known about the Library of Siklios except for one thing: no matter what you may find inside, you must never take any book or artefact from it without permission from those who guard it; otherwise, dire consequences may follow.

Using the library

by REXARD

To retrieve any useful information from the library, the researcher must be fluent in at least one language of the Eastern Continent of Kundi. Additional languages will provide a bonus, as the scrolls in the library are written in a mix of several ancient versions of them, as the Zaxori were not a separate community but had many visitors from all over the continent, who often came to stay and participate in research projects.
The top floor contains newer books that are easier to access and were written in the past decade, for example, the records about the rune stones. To understand these, one must be able to understand the arcane symbols used on them (any caster can do this).
