The infinite library of Tfura

Built  by Trinfer the Resurrector, the infinite library is the tallest building in Tfura, towering over the Tzuderic castle. When Trinfer was chosen to rule over the capital of Tzuderic Empire, one of his first decisions for his reign was to educate all citizens of the city and to symbolize it, he declared on the creation of the library. The entrance to the library costs only a few coins and you can stay there as long as you want. It is built for the people to educate themselves without any gain for the king.
"In my dreams I see a future where all men could write and read. Books will lay on every shelf and poems will be written on walls. The new man is an educated, cultured, and enlightened one, who will carry us to the great tomorrow. the city will be filled, not with crime nor with poverty, but with the kindness of sympathetic men. not with gossip and rumors, but with the conversation of wise women walking from the market. and in the middle of it all will stand a library so tall, the Galiteris will see it in the distance and the gods will read books from the top floors, and in it the knowledge of the world. A library that will have the answer to every question between its walls and will stand for all time and what's after. That is my dream, as true as the earth and sky." Trinfer speech in his crowning ceremony.

Purpose / Function

To store all the information known to the human kind and to have in it every single book ever published. Trinfer used the creation of the library to symbolize his rule and the changes he will make during it. He also built it to show his wealth and his independence from his father.
it was also secretly built to act as headquarters for The Husky Voices

Alterations

When the building reached half its height, it became clear that it will no longer be stabilized if they continue the building. As a result Trinfer had to stop the construction of the library it self and began working on the metal poles holding it today. New layers are constantly being added to the library. At first it was built upwards but when that no longer was an option, Trinfer commanded builders to begin mining and continue the building downwards.

Architecture

From the outside the library looks like a tall white cylinder with weird curves and twists, as if it were a colossal disfigured hourglass, which seemed odd above the square houses of the city. The tower is held by three massive diagonal poles connecting the ground to the middle of the structure. entering through the large decorative doors, there is a flight of stairs starting at the top floor all the way down to the last. From the entrance it is possible to see the entire building. the shelves cover all the wall from the roof down to where it becomes to dark to see from the ground level and beyond. every floor below ground level expends from the stairs to dozens of hallways with shelves filled with books.
