The Archives of the Elven Court Scribes

The Scribe Archives have always been the oldest collection of recorded knowledge in Eredane, and with the burning of the Scholar’s Tower at Highwall, they are now the largest and most complete library as well. The Archives contain thousands of books, scrolls, folios, and letters on every sort of academic discipline. The wizened librarians sort and catalog the information in their own cryptic ways, but facts and wisdom about natural science, history, philosophy, astronomy, politics, and more can be found in the collections.

Once, there were more than a hundred Honored Scribes of the Court in Caradul and often many times that number of students and visiting scholars. Each contributed new material and knowledge to the library, keeping it updated and vital. Now, in the long dark of the Shadow, there is little time for pure academics and the shelves and racks of the Archives grow dusty. Many scribes have put down their styluses to take up bows and swords, and the librarians quietly mourn the wane of learning.

Yours truly has given the gift of his sight to the Witch Queen, Aradil. As one of her Avatars, he sees what she sees, or much of it anyway, and diligently scribes the happenings, events, triumphs and unspeakable losses in her never-ending struggle against the Shadow.
