The Grand Library of House Antaka is a pivotal public facility built by Fubaka and JakTheMad in August of 2016, for the purpose of storing and sharing the server's knowledge. It is currently housed in Tesseract, just north and west from the spawn location. There will be a portal to it once the new Portal Tower comes into being.

Building Description

While a bit more modest-looking than the Greater Library of Avalon, the Grand Library is a much more effective houser of knowledge, no longer constrained by the pre-written-book days. It currently consists of a main facility, built in a monastery-like fashion, with a separate Sugar Cane farm, and plans for more facilities. The main building is built primarily with stone brick and wood of oak and dark oak; forming a main tower, with two off-shoot towers. The first off-shoot contains the lobby, as well as the cartography section. The second off-shoot provides enchanting and brewing services. The main tower itself is where all the books are stored, with the newest publications on the main floor, and the rest of the books in the basement levels. The rest is really just decoration.

Reading Rooms

There are currently seven reading rooms, which can all be found in the basement of the main facility. They are as follows:

  • FICTION: Contains general works of fiction by the players.
  • LORE: Contains important tales regarding server events.
  • NON-FICTION: Contains guides, histories, and other things that are totally and completely factual.
  • GRAND FICTION: Contains more vaunted and artful literature, like poetry and buddy-cop fiction.
  • EPICS: Three rooms are devoted to epics, which are stories consisting of at least 5 long volumes.

Trivia

  • The mushroom and Nether Wart ceilings on the main library facility are an obscure reference to the mushroom buildings in Morrowind.
  • This library has secrets (don't go looking for them).
  • Squeedge and Vono once had a fight here, shooting flaming arrows at each-other and nearby mobs. Thankfully they didn't light the library on fire.
