The Library is the headquarters of the Curator, where she stores and organizes her vast collection of knowledge.
Located in a remote and inhospitable part of the Sangora Desolation, the Library rises abruptly from the desert sands, a collection of tall, stepped buildings painted gold and blue. Canals and waterworks run between the buildings, fed by water pumped from deep underground. Trees and other plants grow both at the bases of the structures of the Library and on the multiple levels of the buildings themselves.
Inside, the buildings of the Library house countless books, scrolls, recorded materials, and other items intended to store information. Rows upon rows of shelves stretching up to the ceiling contain data on every known subject. A complex archiving system ensures all these works remain sorted and searchable.
Interiors and exteriors are both illuminated by magical lighting, and a variety of common maintenance tasks are performed using animated objects.
The Curator is highly protective of certain realms of information, and collected materials that address these topics are kept in highly restricted wings of the Library. These wings are themselves each a demiplane, with a variety of countermeasures applied to ensure they are kept inaccessible to the broader world. The full contents of the restricted wings have not been revealed to outsiders, but are known to contain information on the anchor sites and other remnants of the distant past.
Visitors to the Library are conditionally allowed as long as their visit is approved, though even still they are closely watched and must declare exactly what knowledge they seek. Information that would require access to the restricted wings is categorically denied.
