The '''Librarians''' are a cult of librarians which ruled most of the [[Hushlands]],{{book ref|alcatraza1|4}} founded by [[Biblioden]] on the principle that silimatic technology and oculators should be kept secret from the majority of the world.

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

;[[Wardens of the Standard]]: The most common librariansLibrarians 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 librariansLibrarians.{{book ref|a4|1010}} Cultists from this order are the ones who eventually tie Alcatraz to an altar of outdated encyclopedias. {{book ref|a2|1}}
