I thought that the city name was a little different because of reasons unknown. The official or proper name would be Garren-ka, but common usage was Garran-ka. I left it in there if someone has an idea for a contribution, I used it because I think it sounds better.Rystil:The Malarn own Malarn-ka as this is their house city as the name implies. The site of the library is not mentioned. It could be Malarn-ka or Eyrdeyn but the capital would be avoided because of potential outbreaks and Malarn-ka was destroyed in the war of blades and the library already existed beforehand. Contribution:During the war of the broken pillar, members of House Malarn feared for the destruction of their library. As it was clear that the first Malarn-Ka was a possible target for a siege and fearing that conquerors or civil unrest would threaten the books, librarians and scholars of House Malarn packed up the majority of the library in secret and deposited it in a secret redoubt in a mountain valley. The conquerors of the fallen Malarn-ka looted the library and brought everything they could find to Garran-ka. After the war, House Malarn founded the city of Jhazed´Khal at the site of the secret redoubt, that became the main building of the new library. Jhazed´Khal means "House of many words" in ancient orcish.  Every pillar later swore oaths on their family gods that never should Jhazed´Khal, keeper of Eyrosian history, be threatened by their house, as long as it will be a city of knowledge and scholars and not a city of war. In keeping the spirit of this oath, there is only a smaller imperial garrison in the city. The defenses are in the hand of the imperial masks and the Praes Thanatos who have a large library themselves in the city. the Praes Thanatos only show a small contingent but a large troop of undead has been squeezed in tightly in excavated underground caverns below the necromancer´s library. Many scholars are upset that House Malarn restricts access to the library. They think it violates the spirit of the oath. They point out that the oath was certainly meant that the library should be a center of learning for everyone.</blockquote>
