== Area Lore/Back Story ==
 The Grand Library was created through the patronage of the Lady Weaver. In 
 it, you will find literary works from all over the globe -- ancient texts, 
 poems, stories, collections of myth and legend, recipes and maps. It is a 
 marvel of historical wonder which should be savoured, slowly, like a fine, 
 rare vintage. The staff is second to none '''and will act in concert and with 
 terrible wrath''' to quell any shenanigans in the Library.  Even the youngest
 souls are welcome within its hallowed halls - should they follow the rules 
 of basic courtesy - but even the most seasoned and versed will find bloody
 trouble, should violence be their goal.

==LORE QUEST==
There will be a '''[[Area Lore Quests|Lore Quest]]''' for the Grand Library!
The first person to CORRECTLY answer ALL of the questions below (in NOTE format, posted on the MUD) after zone installation will receive a generous prize! (a restring of a Library Card, AND 1 Large Prize Bag Pick -or- 4 Quest Point Vouchers, AND 500,000 gold!)  Subsequent individuals answering ALL questions correctly will receive an honorarium of 100,000 gold.  (no funny business. If I have reason to believe that someone is selling or giving away answers, I will respond with rifts. - [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] ([[User talk:Cordir|talk]]) 08:25, 18 November 2016 (MST))
