THE LIBRARY

You received an invitation.A letter left by your bedside.
A cryptic message in your dreams.
A gnawing sensation in your guts.The invitation is different for each person; all You know is that something is calling you. Calling upon your desire for adventure, for peers, for knowledge, for a purpose.
For the power to realize your dreams.It points towards a door that no one has ever opened, inside a Tavern that rests upon crossroads of seldom traveled paths, a place that is both alien and familiar. You may have heard whispers of this place before; a place for adventurers, explorers, and those who are lost.Will you accept the invitation?

The Library is cared for by it's secretive caretaker, a person known only as The Librarian. Their main goal is to collect stories from all over the world, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem to the common eye. For this, The Librarian has rewarded any and all who shared stories or brought tomes, tales and books back to The Library.But something has changed; the Books stored within the magical Library, having existed for many eras, have changed. In their age and magic, they have taken on a life of their own, escaping their shelves and bindings. These magic Books have started manifesting upon the world of Etheirys, releasing their contents into pockets of altered reality called Book-Worlds. Needing help to retrieve these rogue Books, the Library has started calling upon those of sufficient willpower and strength of spirit, offering them boons and rewards in exchange for delving into these Book-Worlds and bringing them to a close.Whether you accept the invitation for your own personal gain and the boundless knowledge and ancient riches stored within the Library, or out of desire to help folks and protect them from the often dangerous manifestations within Book-Worlds is entirely up to you; the only thing that matters is that the Books must be returned to the Library.You must simply open that hidden door.

OOC Information and DetailsThe Library is the second half of the community and FC known as The Tavern and Library.The Tavern is meant to be a comfortable space for casual roleplaying and winding down after a long week. The Library is where the serious, long-term campaigns and narratives exist within.The Library is, at it's core, a framework and concept to allow the existence, and coexistence, of tales and narratives utilizing the world of FFXIV (no matter just how "lore bendy" they may be). In the end, what we value is creativity and a desire to create storylines together. There's even a basic dice system in place if you want to have rolls within your narrative!Another way to think about it is: whenever a story is written down or shared, the person telling it may change a few details here and there to make it more dramatic than it actually was, or to make it more scary, dangerous, to make it into tales of their own feats... Thus, even if something may not strictly conform to "reality" and the "lore", it may still be told and shared and experienced by a group of roleplayers and their characters!The FC itself is based on Mateus - Crystal, but membership is not required nor obligatory to become part of The Library and partake in it's ever changing narrative and the book-worlds within. Official members of The Library are known as Assistants.For more information and/or an invite to our server, DM veritas.flac on discord.
