The Universal Materialist Library, sometimes called the “Library of Knowledge,” located in the Study District, at the heart of the Terrace of the Mists, not far from the Temple of the same name, is one of the most prestigious Laelithian institutions. It is estimated to house over about one hundred thousand works covering all subjects: religious, civil, military, historical, fictional, poetic, musical, esoteric, etc., in all languages. Among these works, many are manuscripts, sometimes very ancient, collected in a highly protected section.

The library is closely linked to the Universal Materialist University, which educates scholars from all over the world and the high officials of the divine-royal administration. It is situated right next to the university and was originally designed as an annex to store its works. Today, it is an autonomous institution, and its fame attracts students and visitors from all known-or unknow-parts of the world, whether nearby or distant.

The Universal Materialist Library is renowned for its rigorous fact-checking standards. No writing can report an unverified fact, but theological writings are accepted as long as the facts are not legendary. Therefore, it is a reference point for those seeking reliable knowledge. However, there is a section reserved for dubious writings, non-authentic works, clumsy plagiarisms, or any literary productions known as such.

The buildings are surrounded by long ancient ramparts called the Walls, which separate the southern part of the Terrace of the Mists from the Prosperity’s one. The Upper Gardens, located along these fortifications, provide a relaxation space for scholars in need of rest. It is a place frequented by both students and professors, who meet there to discuss and exchange ideas.

In summary, the Universal Materialist Library is an essential place for all lovers of knowledge and wisdom. Whether one is a student, a scholar, or simply curious, one cannot help but be amazed by the richness and beauty of this unique place in Laelith.
