A letter for Councillor Shane

Councillor Shane

As you requested, I offer you within this letter the details of the library project that we briefly discussed.

I wish to establish within the town a library, created by the citizens and adventurers of Sanctuary, to preserve city lore. This library's halls would be filled with blanks books, upon which an individual would be able to record his own sum of knowledge.

People would be free to write about their adventures, happenings and quests. I believe that in this way we would be able to record, share and most importantly preserve much of the knowledge that is currently dispersed amongst the citizens of the town and often lost when one of them passes into Kelemvor's realm.

An establishment such as this would benefit the town in several ways. It would allow the city to keep track of various events that may occur outside its borders and the watchful gaze of its guardians, and allow us to better learn the lessons of our history.

A servant of one of the gods who does not have an established church within the city would be able to preserve records for future generations, to offer one example.

This library, I hope, will gather for the benefit of the town a collection of geographical and ethological lore, alongside the lore of the Underdark, its sentient races and dangers in general. A town such as ours, permanently threatened by a hostile land, cannot afford to deny itself such a valuable weapon as knowledge.

I have already presented this project to Councillor Tyrell, and she has already expressed her interest in it. It is my hope that it shall garner your support as well.

Ariwyn Yevastel Sworn blade to lord Bartholomew Levine Scholar of the Lifegiver.

Any reply may be left with Spencer at the Rock Bottom.
