The
Great Library of Hacynian is built around the regio in the area known as Mourning Hollow in Summersend, Hercynia. It is built in the style of the Terunael library that once stood on the site. In the centre of the library sits a large weirwood table, its surface
adorned with carved swirling patterns. These twisted paths are marked by fresh bloodstains, marking the work of vates who have come to the area to study and compile the history of Navarr and their Terunael roots. At the center of the table sits a battered
cauldron, The Bowl of Phaleron, an ancient covenstone that once held pride of place in the structure that has been returned to its orignial home.
 
The shelves are filled with books, scrolls and research notes and several of them are constructed
using the broken pillars of the original structure as a focal feature. Librarians and researchers who work in the library are supported by the nearby Darkhaven Wayhouse and the stridings who travel through the area.
 
An alcove within the structure contains a small shrine to Wisdom to encourage the virtuous application
of the knowledge uncovered and collected in the library. The shrine is lit by a single lightstone sat upon a wooden candlestick with swirling vines carved on its surface. The candlestick was carved by Jhessail Cedny, one of the founders of the nearby Steading
of Foxden. The table in front of the candlestick is inscribed with the words she spoke upon the blessing of her steading; "Trust and wisdom, and outfoxing others is what we will achieve for the glory and the good of the Empire" This candlestick also sat in
the original library before it was destroyed by Vard invaders.
The
Great Library is overseen by the Terunael Lorekeeper. While not necessary it is recommended that the Lorekeeper take on the oath 'I will protect the Library for as long as I can' this oath was originally sworn by a pre-Imperial Navarri vate whose spirit was
kept captive in Mourning Hollow by the volodny Gorowac. His soul was freed in 379YE when his oath was taken on by Sian Eternal alongside other souls being freed from the area by the efforts of heroes of the Empire. It is the work of the Lorekeeper to not only
compile and preserve the history of Navarr but to protect it so the events of the past are not repeated.
