The Curators of Alexandria are the undead caretakers of the Library of Alexandria.
Appearance and Characteristics
Curators' bodies appear as skeletons with a skull and bony arms. The skull portion has flames inside the eye sockets, causing it to glow red. They wear a dark robe that trails off in the distance -- they don't appear to have legs. The cloak and body are translucent.[1] Despite having a skeletal face, they can somehow make facial expressions showing that they are pleased, disappointed, angry, etc.[2]
Curators appear ghostly and can travel through walls, however, they can interact with the corporal world. They can grab people and physical objects with writing on them. When touched by a Curator, the part of the body touched becomes cold.[1]
Duties
Rules
1. If anyone enters their domain bearing writing, they may separate them from their group and demand the writing be given up. If they resist, they may take the writing, but they must return copies. If the copies are not requested within an hour, they are kept indefinitely.
2. They may take the souls of those who enter, but only if offered freely and lawfully. Souls may be coerced, but not forced.
3. They may accept or reject a person's request for a soul contract. Once the contract is written, they must provide the specific book requested, and the person must then sign the contract to certify that the book fulfills the request. They must then refrain from taking their soul for the time specified in the contract. This time may be no longer than 10 hours. If a person takes a book off the shelf without a contract, the soul can be taken after ten seconds.
4. They cannot directly harm those who enter.
5. When a person becomes a Curator, their possessions must be delivered to their kin, if requested.
6. They cannot lie if asked a direct question because they are the protectors of knowledge and truth.[2]
