Library Historical Archive

The Library Historical Archive is small area within the Arceuus House accessible only by speaking to Archeio, the archive's guardian, on the Arceuus House Library ground floor. The archive was previously closed off to visitors because there were many dangerous enchantments protecting it, but now that they have been isolated, visitors may freely enter and leave the archive.

The Library Historical Archive stores historical documents from all eras of Great Kourend's history, with the most important texts stored here for further study and protection.

Players can speak to Istoria, the chief historian and curator, to leave the archive.

Official Order of Construction
Loyal citizens of Great Kourend, we face a grave danger.

The Winter Beast continues to ravage the lands to the north, as it has done so for three decades now.

The threat to our great kingdom is severe and our attempts to quell the Beast are, thus far, unsuccessful.

However, we have perhaps been fortunate that the beast remains within the North and has not directed its fiercely cold presence towards our great city.

But we would be foolish to assume this will always be the case and we must prepare our city to face this peril.

Fifteen decades...
