The Divine Nolanian Greater Library of Avalon is a structure being built by Fubaka in New Avalon, on the western hill overlooking the Ville d'Art. It is intended as a sequel structure to the original Great Library.

Description

The library is much larger and more eloquent than its predecessor. Within are three floors and two courtyards, as well as an archive system underneath which is still under construction.

The first floor, called Shabbyjazz Commons is the primary floor of the library, and holds the most bookshelves and reading rooms. The carpet here is very complex and intricate, and the courtyards can be accessed from the sides. 8 reading rooms are located here, along with 4 enchanting rooms and 2 minor enchanters.

The second floor, called Enrekay64 Balcony is exactly that, in addition to 4 additional reading rooms.

The third floor, called Sunny's Sanctuary is a maze of bookcases. Up here, there are 4 more reading rooms, 2 more enchanting rooms, a brewing station, and windows that look down on the lower floors.

Both courtyards are identical in structure, with the exception of the murals that lay within. They consist of flowerbeds, a few trees, fencing, and 3 mural spaces each of varying sizes.

Status

Every floor and courtyard is complete, though a little more decoration is needed, which will not be available until 1.2.4. All enchanting rooms, reading rooms, and the brewing station are now operational. The ceiling is finished. 3 murals are left to be finished, as well as the central statue.

All surface-level reading rooms are now available for writers to claim! Talk to Fubaka if you want a room to write a story.
