Ravenskeep

Ravenskeep was a towered library-fortress that stood on atop a hill overlooking the city of Ravenhill. The library was filled with books and scrolls of knowledge, considered the greatest collection of the writings in all of Euron. It was the home of the great seer Korbus who foresaw the coming of the Calamity, over a millennium before the crisis of the 8th millennia BC. Aside from the edicts dictated by the stronghold's Keepers throughout the years, Ravenskeep had but one absolute rule: "Those who destroy knowledge, with ink, fire, or sword, are themselves destroyed".

Purpose / Function

Seekers who gained entry into the keep were allowed to stay for one tenday. During this time they could read specific books within the necessariums, but were not permitted to copy their contents. This service was specifically provided by the Avowed. Inscribing and binding a book cost anywhere from 100 to over 10,000 gp and took upwards of several weeks to complete. The advice of the keep's sages were offered to Seekers who asked for their wisdom for 2000 gp, double the standard rate. The keep served as the locale of Ashfields's Academy for Heroics. is a special institute founded and led by Lord Brand Ashfield to train young potential adventurers in controlling their powers and help foster a friendly civilian-adventurer relationship
