The Librarian

“You were meant to sort dust and stamp moldy records. Instead, you built libraries where even we, masters of the arcane, must humbly seek knowledge. The facts are here—embarrassing for us all, yet undeniable.”

In the Maldevere family, magic is a birthright. Your ancestors shaped the course of magical history, your siblings bend the arcane to their will as naturally as breathing… and you? You run a library. Not out of passion for books, but because your illustrious father, Archmage Dorian Septimus Maldevere, decided that without a gift for magic, you had nothing to offer the world. Rather than let your lack of talent tarnish the family name, he assigned you a fate devoid of grandeur: shelving, sorting, stamping, filing. A thankless job. A position without prestige.

At least, in theory.

Because in practice, a magical library is far from a quiet, orderly sanctuary. It is a maelstrom of requests, forbidden tomes, and grimoires that occasionally try to bite unsuspecting scholars. The question isn’t how to survive the chaos—it’s how to turn this seemingly menial task into your ascent to greatness. Because if magic is power, then the one who controls knowledge is the one who controls everything.

Manage a Library in Constant Motion

Mages, alchemists, and scholars flood in, eager to get their hands on the right book—and it’s up to you to keep things running smoothly. Every request is a challenge, and efficiency is the key to success.

• Scan requests, prioritize tasks, and keep your cool as the line of impatient clients grows.

• Retrieve the right books, juggle multiple orders, and ensure no one walks away with the wrong grimoire. (Giving Introduction to Pyromancy to a jittery novice? Probably not a great idea.)

• Multitasking and quick thinking are your best tools for staying on top of the ever-growing workload.

Verify, Stabilize, Secure

Some books are more than just ink and parchment. They come with rules—rules that must be followed before they can be entrusted to anyone.

• Check permits before handing over restricted books (and spot the frauds trying to bend the rules).

• Stabilize unstable tomes before they detonate between two bookshelves.

• Decipher cryptic runes to unlock ancient, cursed volumes.

• Manage emergencies—a potion book delivered late? No big deal. An alchemist needing The Art of Poison Neutralization right now? That’s a little more urgent.

Keep Your Library in Order or Watch the Chaos Unfold

A library is not just rows of bookshelves—it’s a fragile ecosystem. A delicate balance between organization and imminent disaster.

• Keep the shelves tidy, or watch disorder spiral out of control. A misplaced forbidden tome at the wrong time, and suddenly you have an unscheduled inspection on your hands.

• Expand and upgrade your establishment—new sections, archive rooms, restricted areas filled with the most coveted knowledge.

• Optimize your service to attract an ever more prestigious clientele, from humble magic students to the greatest scholars of the Ivory Tower.

Turn Your Library into a Pillar of the Arcane World

Knowledge is a precious resource, and a well-run library can become the beating heart of the magical world. But prestige is not earned overnight.

• Each shift earns you credits and raises the renown of your library.

• Gain prestige to unlock expansions, new facilities, and powerful upgrades.

• Improvements aren’t just aesthetic—they directly impact efficiency, client expectations, and the flow of your daily work.

• By day, manage requests and keep everything running. By night, invest in the future of your establishment and shape its legacy.

“It’s just a library,” they said. “Just a storage room for old books.” But as the days pass, the whispers spread, the academies take notice. This is no longer a backroom archive—it’s becoming a cornerstone of magical scholarship.

Soon, it won’t just be frantic students searching for scrolls knocking at your door. The greatest minds in the magical world will seek an audience. Not out of charity. Not out of obligation. But because they will have no other choice.

Every grand journey starts somewhere. Yours begins here, between two dusty tomes, three irritable scrolls, and a client who has very clearly forged his permit.

Add The Librarian to your wishlist and get ready to prove that when it comes to power, the one who organizes knowledge holds all the cards.
