When one thinks of the greatest repository of magic they think Anbencost. But when one thinks of knowledge or learning of any other king the only thing that should come to mind is Konwell. Here there lies the great Konwell Institute a place of learning, knowledge, and experimentation. We are the keepers of knowledge, it is our sacred duty to ensure that our books and secrets are kept safe. Anbencóst is well known to lose knowledge and scrolls due to stagnancy and a lack of care, we are different. Our books are like our children, they will be cared for and made to last. When a man named Olor Goodmountain comes into his own he will invent something that will change bookmaking and education permanently, how we use this will decide much of our future. Being on the coast we have many traders and access to the damescrown, however, this has never been our priority or goal. Our interest in the goings on of the Empire have always been lacking, as politics and education are never to be mixed. At least in the eyes of the professors of the Institute and the Counts of Konwell. We are not ambitious by nature, but who is to say if that will stay the same with new leaders and generations.
The Institute is the pride and joy of Konwell. In its hallowed and near endless halls lie near infinite knowledge on all matters concerning magic, science, artificing, any anything else you can think of. Though it can certainly not match Anbencosts own libraries in magical knowledge it is likely to lead in near every other area. We take pride in ensuring that we maintain the most intelligent and prestigious lecturers and professors in Anbennar as it is not enough to simply hold knowledge as one must teach it too. There are many who suggest that we should make more of an effort to send out tutors to the courts of the known world to teach future leaders to be scholars. Or perhaps to make a larger effort to increase our own classes and student base. A learned man is a more capable man as the professors of the university love to say.

We have a duty to help others learn what we know and more. Wisdom is a natural offshoot of learning and we must make sure to uphold this concept. It is possible for us to be more proactive with exchanging books with other libraries, courts, and nobles to ensure that information is used. It is also possible to send our scholars and patronized lecturers to travel and teach. There are so many possibilities that we could choose to pursue rather than sit upon our pile of knowledge like a dragon does a pile of gold.
Olor Goodmountain is a man who had a brilliant idea. What if we used magic and science to allow books and scrolls to be mass produced. Magic can help to write books quicker or ever few at once for stronger magic users, but this is nothing compared to what Goodmountain has made. With his invention, especially when infused with magic books can be mass produced to a mind blowing degree. It may even be possible one day for books to be widely available to all, even the poor and common folk! What an invention.
You are a peacful county focused on knowledge and to a lesser degree development
Play tall not large
RP around learning, education, tutoring, and things like that
Will we be a rival with the other great libraries like Anbencost or work with them closely
Do we use our knowledge to influence the Empire or stay out of politics entirely
We are in need of paper and resources to fuel the Institute. Aelantir could be useful, should we colonize with the rest?
