Library of Spirit Building / Landmark in Tarien | World Anvil

Library of Spirit

Built on the second story of the Sun Temple, this large room is one of the few in the cathedral that boasts no natural light, as it is damaging to the countless scrolls and books that sit on the massive cherry and mahogany shelves lining its walls. Instead, great crystal chandeliers hang from its twenty foot ceilings, their globe permanently blessed to radiate Anderi's light. Fire and talking are strictly prohibited within its walls.
 
Theoretically open to the public, use of the library entails a small donation to the church for any outside the clergy. While containing a vast array of works about the Lord of Light, its shelves contain texts of all sorts and is considered the second finest library in Karradone, smaller than only the great library at the university. Works of fiction, philosophy, and history can be found in a dozen languages. There is even a small room in the back that contains restricted and forbidden books detaiing the rituals of other gods collected by Anderi's faithful over the years.
