Library of Korranberg

The Library of Korranberg is the largest repository of knowledge in Khorvaire. It was once rivaled by Morgrave University in Sharn, but since the Great Freezing most of Morgrave's resources and scholars are locked within blocks of arcane ice. The library's buildings take up a quarter of the city of Korranberg and is a source of pride for the citizens of Zilargo and for gnomes the world over. In addition to being a research library, the Library of Korranberg also boasts eight colleges, each focused on a particular field of study, that attract students from across the continent.
The eight colleges and their subjects are:
Aureon’s Holt (law and oratory)
Balinor’s Horn (natural sciences)
Blackdragon (alchemy)
Drystone (engineering)
Lyrris (art and literature)
Morridan (mathematics)
Soladas (history)
and the Tabernacle (religion and philosophy)

While the administrations of these colleges collaborate to oversee the library, the colleges also have a fierce rivalry with each other in the academic, athletic, and arcane fields.
Citizens of Korranberg are expected to dedicate at least 4 years of their lives in service to the library. In return, they can attend the library's colleges free of charge.
The Library has outposts across Khorvaire and even in Stormreach to aid its research teams. It continuously seeks to improve its resources and regularly funds adventuring expeditions aimed at broadening its collection of knowledge.
Zilargo's police force, the Trust, originated as an oversight force for the library.
