Great Library

The Great Library, also known as the Library, is an area floating in the sky above the Ruined Atoll in Tunic.

Background

The Librarian uses the main floor of the Great Library for housing his research and items he has stolen from various parts of the world. He stores stolen manual pages of previous Ruin Seekers inside of glass capsules. He stole the Swamp's gate device and connected it to a makeshift tomb as a power source. He decorates the room with a green hook-tongue banner, the decoration and symbol used by the Frogs of Frog's Domain; he likely took it around the same timeframe he stole the green key from its Southern Vault.

The Librarian has written various information about the world upon 6 different chalkboards.

Chalkboard 3
Diagram of a tomb, a conduit connecting it to a gate, and an interior look of a Fossil of Self inside of a tomb.
Trunic: DIE?

Chalkboard 4
Diagram of the shivering ring, and a list of the three keys and their locations.
"I. Siege Engine [skull]
II. ✓
III. ??? BELOW?"

A skull is drawn next to I's red key, because the Siege Engine is too scary for The Librarian to fight. II's green key has a checkmark because The Librarian already owns it. He theorizes that III's blue key might be below the earth, which is a correct assumption, as it is located in the Rooted Ziggurat.

Chalkboard 5
Diagram of an entombed Fossil of Self.
"TUNIC FUSE COMPONENTS
- STORE POWER
- [unintelligible] SINGULARITY
- TOMB?? [skull][skull]??"

Chalkboard 6
Two diagrams of something that resembles an SNES cartridge.
Upper-right Trunic: THE UNIVERSE
