Category:The Library

These books belong to Ceredan Brooks. In them is collated all of the knowledge he accumulates during his travels through Eorzea and beyond, for it is his great wish that others should benefit from his experience.

How These Books Are Made
Through an experimental new technology, Ceredan is able regularly to update his library no matter where he might be. The grimoire he carries on his belt is attuned to the books herein, and constantly records information, images, and ideas; this information can be released to various books at his will.

One might say that Ceredan is writing many books at once. One might also say that his grimoire is an unconscionable fire hazard and ought to be thrown into the sea. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion...

''((Out-of-Character note: Ceredan's grimoire is not meant as some sort of snowflaking MacGuffin that makes him special or unique; instead, it gives me an excuse to provide this resource on an IC level! I absolutely love this game not just as a game, but as a display of intricate and creative worldbuilding. I wish to help others discover and embrace it, with all its delicate and multitudinous detail. Every article in this site is written as I play the game, and is sourced directly from official canon as I encounter it. I will continue to grow the site, not just as part of my roleplaying-character growth, but in order to help lovers of this game everywhere to learn more and enrich their own experience!))''
