Library of Stagshelm

The Library of Stagshelm, located near the West Gate, is a large stone building of unusual architecture. Designed by the half-elven architect Fedya Midtree, it combines both elven and Iobarian styles. Although possessing a wide range of literature it is perhaps best known amongst academic circles for its housing of the Koloran Stones as well as numerous archaeological artifacts from the same period making the library the foremost source of knowledge regarding the ancient Cyclopes whose empires pre-date even those of the elves.

The library is run by a small staff of Magisters overseen by the shy yet pretty Chief Librarian, Magister Gleba.
