Kaimaloreum

Page history last edited by axcalibar 5 mos ago

A "kaimaloreum" is an institution like a library where literary, arcane, theological, and artistic studies are conducted. The churches of Kaima and Lor conceived them as a compromise in an effort to make knowledge available while sequestering materials that could be dangerous. Confidintiality rather than censorship is the goal, a blending of the traditions of Lor (transparency) and Kaima's dogma (secrecy). The creed displayed at the entrance to kaimaloreums is "knowledge held in confidence". There is a zone of antimagic inside the walls of a kaimaloreum, and individuals are searched before being allowed to enter or leave. Mind probes are also administered at regular intervals.

 

The libraries of Xeal and Tespus are such institutions.

if this was always the case, I'm sure they hated (and hate) packrats like Lem (and now, his followers).. oh, go ahead, search me... I just have bandaliers of map/scrollcases, wands, pouches, and more than one bag-o-holding
