The Great Library of Genova

The Great Library of Genova is the focal point of the Capital. This important building is the pride of Genovians, for the knowledge it harbors as well as its architectural beauty (although experts agree that pixels don’t do it justice). Nobody really knows when it was created but it is probably the fruit of a Civilization now disappeared. Our heroes will have several opportunities to visit the Library and see its evolution along different eras!

During the past, the Great Library of Genova has been requisitioned by the Sorcerers. It’s an era marked by war and hardships. Nobody knows what is happening in the building but every Genovian has its own version of it:

In present times, the Great Library is in its “Golden Age”. It is a symbol of the prosperity of the times and the meeting location of all intellectuals of the Empire. Velvet, the famous archaeologist and historian of the Magi civilization, is one of the prominent members of the Great Library. Her sudden disappearance in an expedition was a very sad day for the institution.

In the future era, the Great Library is an aging institution, very academic and not really innovative. A lot of students are following classes offered by the dean and his acolytes. To validate their exams, they have to pass the different riddles and puzzles developed by a famous professor wearing a top hat. Our hero will probably have to go through this if he wants to discover the secrets of Magi Civilization…
