Temple of Lore Settlement in Gamma World | World Anvil

Temple of Lore

This is a small village on the banks of the White River south of the City of Cartoons. It is made up of only a few buildings of clay and straw and a single large monastery, plus some farmland. The name, Temple of Lore refers to both the village as a whole and the monastery itself.   All residents of the village are either members of the Brotherhood of Thought or employees of those members. There are usually a few travellers in town making use of the monastery's extensive library--the largest in the Taebur region.   The Siblings will accept any recovered pieces of ancient lore and will reconstruct or reassemble them, creating new scrolls, books, or computer tablets with the information. They charge no fee for this; however, they will destroy the old documents to honour the dead, and show that while people retain the lore the dead provided, the future belongs to the new.
