Nestled at the heart of the Central District, the Royal Library stands as a testament to the
Draconic Kingdom thirst for knowledge and its deep respect for the written word. Towering over many of the neighboring structures, its grand façade is made of white and blue marbled stone, shimmering slightly under the sun, echoing the kingdom's colors.
The entrance boasts large golden double doors, intricately designed with dragon motifs, symbolizing the Draconic Kingdom's heritage. Above the doors, a gilded inscription reads: "In Knowledge, Lies Our Power." Two dragon statues, made of bronze with gold detailing, flank the entrance, their gazes directed at all those who approach, almost as if evaluating the worthiness of the visitor.
Inside, the library is a labyrinth of knowledge. High, arched ceilings supported by blue-veined marble pillars give the impression of walking beneath the heavens themselves. Golden chandeliers, shaped like dragons in flight, hang from the ceiling, illuminating the vast space with a warm glow. The scent of aged paper and polished wood fills the air.
Endless rows of mahogany shelves stretch out, holding countless tomes, manuscripts, and scrolls. Each section is designated for different subjects, from the arcane arts to historical records, and even rare collections from lands beyond the Draconic Kingdom.
At the center of the library, a grand circular desk made of the same white and blue marble is where librarians assist visitors. Behind this desk is the "Royal Collection" – a secured area housing the most precious and ancient manuscripts, accessible only to select scholars and the royal family.
On the upper levels, accessible by spiraling staircases, are private reading chambers, study rooms, and balconies that provide a breathtaking view of the Central District.
The Royal Library isn't just a place of study; it's a symbol of the kingdom's dedication to preserving its past, understanding the present, and paving the way for a brighter future. It's said that if one were to read every book in the library, they'd possess the wisdom of the dragons themselves.
