This home was released as part of the Tour of the Royal Sea Phoenix. However we are hoping it will serve a greater purpose. You see, there are comprehensive libraries on other servers, but each server should have their own. Some of the books require certain languages to be read. we are writing player made books with interpretations of those books for later placement. yes you could create a toon and go to another server to read in their library, but some languages must be quested and so would defeat the purpose of going to another server to read books. Some books also can't read unless you have done the quests. that is unfortunate but interpretations are coming in the forms of compendiums so please have patience and you will get to read them soon. Also we are looking for player made books. Do you like to write books? have you written any for your house, your guild hall, etc? we can supply you with the notebooks to copy them into and that way they will show you as the author. you can get them to us and we will add them during our periodic updates to the library. No library is ever finished. As new books and writings are uncovered, they get added. we plan, depending on how many new items we have to add, to republish every 3 months. of course, if we get a good number of player written books in, we will do so sooner. One thing we plan to do is put all books by each author together so they can be easily found. So with your help, we plan to make this the best library we possibly can. You can contact Loati, Aerfren, Fyuri, or Ceyarrecks ingame or pm me here.
"Each server should have their own." Amen!! I've been tearing my hair out in despair (before EQ2 Furniture came along) of ever finding a lot of the books, especially the old ones, and a lot of the old lore sites aren't up any more (I do know there are some good ones; awesome list mentioned in another thread on the Cathedral Contest ); I think a group or more on each server should set up something like this. Not just the quested books, etc., but also player-made stuff is cool, yeah, and can even mention stuff special to that server (how do you explain, in game terms [like in role-playing], the different servers in the first place, server mergers, etc.?) that way, as well as showcasing our players' creativity. I do have characters on BB, Silvers mainly just for house-visiting; maybe I should write up their adventures in such the way Niboota does in her videos, from the point of view of a Norrathian? Anyone else like this idea too, please feel free to swipe it; every person's will be different. Uwk

we did find that some require certain languages to read. so now ceya has undertaken the onerous job of translating into compendiums so that new players interested in lore will eventually be able to research in the library
oh and uwk, can we count on you to write some books? would love them. all you have to do to get them to us is to create a low level toon on our server, get some books from my toons, and then copy your books over. then hand them to us for placement. and of course your toon's name will be shown as the author. you can also mention in the book who the original author was.
yes!! here here!! Even a Roleplay formatted story of one's plunge into the depths of Blackburrow seeking the Blackburrow Stout;... or the smell of constantly burning timbers during the invasion and defense of Skyshrine,.... or,... the murky and damp caverns of Chelsith... do we have any authors who may wish to add to the lore of Norrath?
Actually, in keeping in the roleplay standard, many books found were directly transcribed in their original tongue. Many languages are readily accessible by talented linguists in many cities; Eredykil Zum'tok, in Gorowyn comes to mind. While others require a bit of time in which to learn; Case in point: certainly there are enough Shadowmen in Stoneburnt Mountains that would allow one to learn Words of Shade in relatively short order. The compendiums will allow those whom have yet to complete "x" quest to be able to read the contents of the book.
uwk's words were the exact reason i asked. please uwk, write the books. another great writer is Caela, who wrote a number of articles on the exploits of Snowilla. We have some awesome writers on here.
Er, well, they actually haven't done much on Butcherblock yet, not even house-hop (mostly what I was thinking of doing the books on; Niboota's moving pictures are worth way more than 1,000 words, but we do what we can ;->)...poor Silvers don't get no respect, not even from me. Guess I should trot them out more often, but RL is rearing its ugly head again. X-P Uwk
well, i like Niboota's pictures but she hasn't visited any of my places. still isn't she about houses? we are looking for diaries, adventures of different toons, maybe even something on different lore from a personal perspective. books of poetry about the game or relating to the game. things of that nature. and we are hoping that the houses live on, past the posts on forums and facebook, where future new people can have a place to go read up on things. even some game guides would be nice. and maybe guided tours around certain zones pointing our things to look at and things to do that might be overlooked by simply following the quest lines from one quest to another. There are hidden objects in zones, little quests people wouldn't ordinarily be aware of. like the little idol in feerrot i never even knew was there as many times as i went there until i stumbled over it a few days ago and thought, gee, how many times did i miss this quest? there is so much to write about that one person could never get around to writing it all. which is why i am asking other people to write. and they don't need to be from butcherblock. they can simply make a toon, get some notebooks from me, and then hand me back written copies of the books they have written. then they can feel free to delete that toon afterwards. it won't affect the book they wrote because once you hand the book to someone else, it is no longer your property but your words live on.
FINALLY!! The Librarian Sargiel was finally able to ... encourage, Custodian Tazjuyptu to get the compendiums completed. We also have more Donations from others of additional books.

How many sacrifices does this Innoruukian need to perform to get copies of these player written books available on AB?
