Editing Athenaeum for Spiritual Harmony

Part library, part conference center, part sanctuary, and part crossroads, the Athenaeum for Spiritual Harmony exists to promote Harmony between the nations of the land of Crescent.

==Curators==
The Athenaeum was created by [[Sir Jericho Templar]] and [[Baelwren SummerStorm]], who used [[Word of Creation|Words of Creation]] to build it in extra-dimensional space. The management and leadership of this place has been handed off to their daughter, [[Borealis Dawn SummerStorm]].

==Description==
The Athenaeum has several primary areas; this stone facility is decorated in deep-toned wood paneling and luxurious carpets and tapestries. Curiously, the views from the windows seem to be unrelated to each other, as though each window looks out into a different space.

===Foyer===
This large room has multiple doors to the outside world - each one leading to a different city. The four biggest doors lead to [[The Spire]], [[Everlight]], the [[City-State of Haven]], and [[Maxaen]], but small hallways lead to doors in [[Mt. Daneasus]], [[Luminaux]], [[Ferrodyne]], [[Velora]], [[Luzern]], and a few other locations.

A curious power resides in each of these doors - anyone can open them from the inside and exit the Athenaeum, but only a select few may open them from the outside and grant entry.

===Library===
A mid-sized library exists here, which doubles as Borealis' office. The texts are mostly historical, and include many copies of books and scrolls thought to be purged completely during the Church of [[Pelor]]'s Rising of the Sun and the [[Scarlet War]]. 

A highlight of the collection includes a delicate-looking set of scrolls made of desert parchment resting in a glass case and labeled ,"The Chronicles of [[Esomelech]]".

After the establishment of the Athenaeum, [[Aurora the Insightful]] donated many copies of histories from the archives of the [[Jade Tower]], as did [[V'raag]] of Haven. 

It also includes all the books to be found on the [[:Category:Books]] page, donated by the [[Companions of the Rising Sun]].

The section of religious holy books contains multiple editions of the [[Librera]] for Pelor, as well as holy texts for [[Mehana]], [[Crustan]], [[Phealas]], and [[Nevari]]. Interestingly, not all of them line up with the current 'official' litanies, for the God of the Sun in particular. 

Though Borealis' record-keeping is flawless, many of these books seem to have no known mortal provenance.

Research into Historical matters using this Library grants advantage on the skill check.
