Abbey of Deneir of Lichfield
This large complex, which grew out of the second monastry of The Monastic Order of the Followers of Deneir the Wise is now the center of the order, as well as an important hub of learning. Housing some 300 monks, and aroudn half that number of visiting scholars, it is one of the largest libaries in the known world.
It brings in roughly 90,000 gp every year, though it only profits around 5000 gp. It then receives another 20,000 gp from the other monastries, and then invests this in helping monastries that need help, or in buying new rare books.

Purpose / Function
To provide a safe and protected place for the monks to copy and store books. It also allows for people to read its books, to gain the knowledge held within. It also just acts as the administrative center of the Monastic order, and as a settler of conflicts between different monastries.
Architecture
It is all based around a stone scriptorium, but there are around 20 builidings in all of the compound, surrounding by a low stone wall that is 2 m tall. Most of the buildings except the scriptorium are wood, and constructed in the standard fashion, but the 2 story stone scriptorium holds writing chambers, a grain store, multiple shrines and the living quarters of all the high ups of the order. The compound also has the old scriptorium, that is used to house some of the initiates and novices.
Tourism
One of the outlying buildings acts as an inn, and has a teleportation circle, and the town of Lichfield recieves around 2 Gnomish Airships per day.
