Librarian

Librarian
World of Origin	Earth (Alcatraz)

The Librarians are a cult of librarians which ruled most of the Hushlands, founded by Biblioden on the principle that silimatic technology and oculators should be kept secret from the majority of the world.

Orders

The Librarians are divided into four main orders, or groups.

Wardens of the Standard

The most common Librarians in the Hushlands, are masters at cataloging books. They claim to be kindly, but according to Grandpa Smedry, "The whole order is founded on the idea of looking innocent; they’re really the deadliest snakes in the lot." They sent a contingent to Nalhalla to open an embassy and attempt to negotiate a treaty.

Order of the Shattered Lens

They are said to take the teachings of Biblioden most seriously and oppose the use of any Silimatic technology. This is taken to the extreme of destroying any that they find, including Oculatory lenses. They also hold symbolic glass-breaking ceremonies where they break even regular glass. They are said to be the largest sect of the evil Librarians. Cultists from this order are the ones who eventually tie Alcatraz to an altar of outdated encyclopedias.

Dark Oculators

Oculator Librarians who often specialize in dangerous, offensive Lenses. They also practice Dark Oculary, including Alivening.

Scrivener's Bones

The Scrivener's Bones are the smallest of the Librarian factions. They are mercenaries that hire themselves out to the other Librarians. They are not Oculators, and so wield blood-forged Lenses (Lenses made with the blood of an Oculator that can be used by non-Oculators). Some of them augment their bodies with Alivened material, resulting in a hideous cyborg-like appearance. They are fond of using both Hushlander and Free Kingdomer technology, such as when Kilimanjaro used a fighter jet with an Oculatory Lens. The Scrivener's Bones also provided the technology and scientists that allowed Shasta Smedry to infiltrate the Royal Archives (Not a Library!) of Nalhalla.
