Editing Leaves of Learning (section)

==Purpose==
===Lore Lost among the Librams===
<blockquote>The Librera teaches us that ideas have no weight, yet can move mountains; they have no weight, yet can dominate a nation; and they have no mass, yet can push aside empires. Knowledge is our greatest tool, for ideas are the seeds of creation. Yet like plants grown from seeds, knowledge eventually will wither and be lost if not carefully tended. The mind stores some knowledge, yet the ravages of time exact their toll on individual memories, and death inevitably claims that which has not been shared and remembered. Other knowledge is inscribed in books, yet sheets of vellum are not immune to the toll of passing years and must be copied time and time again. Perhaps the greatest danger posed by books lies in the nature of their construction. Ideas placed within a book will die as if forgotten if that book becomes a dusty coffer, its contents locked away. Like gems, ideas will sparkle only if brought into the light of day. To that end we must make our libraries live, so that no book remains forgotten. It is for this reason that we labor so, to keep all knowledge accessible and all ideas alive.
::— from ''Truth in the Stacks'' by [[Hasicor Danali]], Learned Father</blockquote>

Under the leadership of Learned Father Hasicor Danali, the [[Pelor]]’s clergy have assembled an unparalleled collection of written records of life in Crescent, many of them newly compiled, including diaries, war histories, and even campfire accounts from across the region. Clerics keep busy buying and reading new books brought to the temple and going out asking specific questions of the elder folk of the region and recording their answers. 

===The Index of Danali===
The Leaves of Learning are also famed for the '''Index of Danali''', the inspired creation of the temple’s high cleric. The Index consists of a strictly ordered compendium of vellum sheets — one for each tome it covers — detailing subject matter and topics of interest. The genius of the Index is that it enables visitors to request exactly the book they wish to pursue; it lays out the information contained in each listed volume so clearly, that very little knowledge remains lost or forgotten beneath dusty, unopened covers. 

====A Treasure Trove of Lore====
:Within the past few years, Danali’s tireless labors have extended his famed Index beyond the books found within the Leaves of Learning. Those in search of rare or unique books are increasingly likely to find a record of their last known location and a summary of their contents within the Tower of Tomes, even if that location is as far away as the [[Iron Hills]] or the [[Shattered Isles]]. Those who do not wish to walk every last mile of Crescent’s roads in search of some lost bit of lore usually find a consultation of Danali’s Index invaluable before beginning their search.
