The Creation of the World Library

The sun was a brilliant yellow globe, basking down relentlessly on the
white sand, sending up shimmering waves which distort the air, making it
hard to distinguish that small black figure that slowly made his way
across the endless stretch, leaving unclear prints that quickly fade as
they are covered up by the swirling sand.

The black and white badger furrikin by the name of Weeky Peedia
eventually emerged from the Skarch desert near the old Imperial road,
leaving no trace as to his possible origins. Weeky was soon discovered
by several members of the various organisations of the basin and quickly
stated his interest in the great libraries. After several minutes of
discussion, several people from the Serenwilde cut the knot and led
Weeky to the Arboreal Library in the western Serenwilde forest.

Having arrived at the library, Weeky quickly noticed that many subjects
went unscribed, and many works conflicted with others on the same
subject. He also noted that a lot of the present material was not of
very high quantity. Present members of the Serenwilde heatedly denied it
being their fault, claiming it was mainly the other organisations that
published low quality material. Weeky questioned them for a while and
then suggested building a central institute to award quality work rather
than quality, led by a council consisting of members from all four
organisations. Representatives from the remaining three organisations
were found and attempts were made the come to an agreement, but the
differences between the organisations proved too great and soon
arguments broke out between different people. Weeky eventually got tired
of this and left.

Several days later dwarves were found working on the slopes of Avechna's
peak, though diligently keeping others away from their construction
site, claiming it was dangerous. Days passed and eventually the dwarves
disappeared, leaving behind an enormous library, with large halls just
waiting to be filled with prestigious works. Weeky is now taking care of
the Library, trying to increase his already considerable knowledge,
searching for original material to publish and attempting to warrant the
quality of literary and scholarly work across the basin with the help of
the Gods.
