The Feyglimmer Library
About 300 years ago and 15 years after its original opening, Sliberberg suffered a glancing hit from a freak whimwhirl. Fortunately, the whimwhirl bounced off the Sliberberg and dissipated in the harbor 20 minutes before doing any real damage. Unfortunately, the spot it bounced off of was the Feyglimmer Library, and the direct hit left the building, and its occupants permanently changed.
The inside of the Feyglimmer is known for its surreal nature, the whimwhirl warped space inside leaving the interior looking like one of Mc Escher's lithographs with shelves on the ceilings, walls, and even floating in the air. A convoluted network of staircases connects various sections of the library.
The occupants of the library were also warped by the whimwhirl. The head librarian, Cornelius Cramp, was transformed into an animated but stationary crystal pillar at the library's entrance. He is known for being a grumpy and impatient individual who hates being turned into a glorified card catalog. He spends his days shouting angrily at visitors when they break the rules and giving directions to various library sections. Most other librarians did not fare much better; they were turned into animated books or anthropomorphized furniture collections.
The library's book collection is extensive, and nobody, including the librarians, knows how many books there are. Like the librarians, the books were transformed; they now have lives of their own and will fly off if they do not like the one reading them or how they are being handled. Due to the warped nature of the library's interior, the library has a potentially infinite number of wings containing books from all over the multiverse, including paradoxically books that were never or have yet to be published. It is rumored that there are whole tribes of the descendants of people who got lost in the library.
