The Forever Archive
The Forever Archives are where you go when you want to reminisce on the past. With three buildings located within NEO City, Moonblight and Chelburg, the Archives are home to a long span of history from not just Humanity, but from the other realms including Terra Eclipsis, Strakh, The Sands, and Blackstar.
Purpose / Function
After The Withering resulted in the loss of years of history across all of the realms, ARC would quickly reprioritize it's a large part of it's operations. This included the immediate and quick restoration and subsequent archival of any extant information they could get their hands upon. This process began with information they could get on Earth, and continued onward with archriving stuff from other realms after they got themselves sufficently organized. The first building was made in NEO City, while Moonblight and Chelburg would get identical buildings shortly afterward.
The main wing has a total of six floors. The Main Archive goes up to four of these floors, with the last two being relegated to a Museum. The west wing of the building is four floors tall, with the Media Center and the Virturalium taking up the first two floors while the section dedicated to the Stars is the next two floors. The east wing is two floors tall, with the only part of the building acting as a Greenhouse.
Main Archive
A tall, massive library organized via realm, filled with thousands of books. These include history books, fictional stories, biographies, culinary books, and much more. While the first two floors of the Main Archive gives free access to those that have a specialized card, the third floor and fourth floor require specific ID cards. The third floor holds information for Arcanists, Mana, and Supernatural Naturality-related phenomena, as well as spellbooks. The fourth floor is for important pieces of information that are considered of high-importance, and as such, they're not allowed to leave the premises.
Museum
The Museum contains various artifacts, both authentic and recreations, that have existed throughout the realms. Organized via realm as well here, these two floors are heavily protected and guarded by security, making sure each piece of treasure here remains on display. As of the last check done by the curators of the museum, around 73% of materials owned or donated to the Archives are replications of the original thing.
Virturalium
The Virturalium is a series of virtualized enviroments that are meant to recreate locales and areas that have been lost since The Withering. These areas include former cities on Earth, old temples and castles from Terra Eclipsis, and various parts of The Sands that held religious value to the inhabitants. One of the most popular sections of the Virturalium is the simualtions of locations from Blackstar, of which the only information of what that realm looks like can be found in ancient scriptures and myth.
Media Center
The Media Center is filled with movies, tv shows, music, video games, and any other form of media outside of that of literature. The Media Center is continually being updated with more media that people can obtain copies of to take home via USB. In one corner of the Media Center, there is a selection of music that has been put on display by the Archive's curators, of which is freely available to listen to.
Stars
The most popular section of the Archives, this part is dedicated to all of the known knowledge and literature of the Stars. Because of the religious nature of the artifacts shown in this area, it's also heavily protected and secure, with access being restricted to those whom have reservations.
Greenhouse
The Greenhouse is filled with flora from other realms that have been harvested and kept on display for people to witness and be awed by. From the strange Solar Eyes and Wishvine of Terra Eclipsis to the Magnetic Trees and Time Fruit from Strakh, there is a large quantity of plantlife to be observed here.
