The Library of Kennis

Where the whispers of history blend with the rustle of parchment, stands the Library of Kennis—a beacon of wisdom and a repository of the ages. Scribes, as devoted as they were curious, chronicled the world beyond and within. They captured the essence of distant lands and the secrets of the stars, penning down tales and knowledge with inks of unparalleled finesse on parchments as precious as the truths they bore.   Their journeys, not confined by the borders of their own nation, were quests for enlightenment. They listened to the songs of the wind, the stories of the sand, and the murmurs of the forest. Every word, a treasure; every tale, a piece of the eternal puzzle of existence, found its place within the vast halls of Kennis.   This library, a labyrinth of stories and wisdom, houses tales as diverse as the world itself. From the enigmatic Tower of Hekse to the serene narratives of Frede, from the winding Crooked Road of Mouths to comprehensive compendiums of Jeneverbes Forest's botanical bounty, Kennis is a testament to the insatiable human thirst for knowledge. Its halls, filled with the scent of old books and the quiet determination of seekers, whisper of things hidden yet awaiting discovery. Patience, they say, is the key to unlocking the vaults of vanished eras and the legacies of bygone heroes.   To scholars across the globe, Kennis is a legend, a dream veiled in the mists of time, yet its keepers, heirs to a tradition as ancient as the written word, remain undeterred by the sands that have shifted through the ages. Their passion for preservation and discovery burns as brightly as that of their forebears, undimmed by the passage of centuries or the changing fortunes of the lands that cradle them.   Nestled amidst this bastion of knowledge stands an architectural marvel—a structure that defies the linear flow of time. The library's heart, the Main Hall, is a relic from a distant past, a temple once dedicated to deities long forgotten, now repurposed as the sanctuary of wisdom it was always meant to be. Ancient stones, laid by hands that reached out to the divine, now cradle the pursuit of understanding. The edifice, a harmonious blend of eras, has grown over countless lifetimes, with new wings reaching skyward and secret chambers delving into the earth, each addition a chapter in its own right.   This library, more than a mere collection of books, is a bridge between the past and the present, a place where the soul of Gulhuva, and indeed of the world, is safeguarded against the ravages of oblivion. It stands as a beacon of hope, a reminder that knowledge, once sought and preserved, becomes the light that guides us through the darkest of ages.   One could think that any presumptions about the intelli­gence in a grön should go away when grön dominates the scholars, but this is not the case.
