The Cosmic Library

The Cosmic Library is the archivist branch of Arcanix, their main objective being the collection, protection, and study of arcane artifacts from all over the world of Eberron. The library is lead by The Grand Archivist, the role of which is currently being filled by Ornaven Oliir: a drow of high renown in the world of arcane archeology and a former Speaker of Artifacts. The Cosmic Library is housed in the majority of the Nocturnas and Skyreach towers of Arcanix. The Cosmic Library has nine branches, named halls, each of which specialize in a specific type of study and are as follows:

Hall of Tomes - Books & Scrolls
Hall of Artifacts - Physical Artifacts
Hall of Prophecy - Deviatory Artifacts & Stored Prophecy
Hall of Invention - Arcane Mechanical Devices
Hall of Alchemy - Arcane Potions & Poisons
Hall of Grove - Flora & Fauna
Hall of Planes - Planar Travel & Artifacts
Hall of Artistry - Artworks of Historic or Cultural Value
Hall of Tradition - Anthropological Research

While some of the halls are newer due to technological developments or the needs of The Last Great War, the members in each hall take pride in their research and open most of it to the general public. Of course, there are even some branches of research kept only in the hands of The Arcane Congress. During The Last Great War the library, and its archivist group, was exceptionally busy attempting to collect and safeguard important artifacts, tomes, and other such items from around Khorvaire at the request of specific ruling families and under its own interests as well. Archivists from each hall where sent out to complete such tasks even if it was not a part of their branch of research. But the work of the library remains the main reason Khorvaire as a whole has maintained most of its historically and culturally significant works. Each head of the nine halls has a rank of Speaker who acts as a voting member in The Arcane Congress & in The Archivist House
