The Crystalline Library was established in December 2019 (Local Time) as a place for adventurers, scholars, and others to read, learn, and eventually became a place of community, resource, and refuge.Created by Ami Athimor after signing several contracts with the Grand Companies and like-minded organizations, the Crystalline Library is one of the biggest collections in Eorzea of both original and reprinted books, spanning from toddler books to adult fiction and non-fiction.So, join us to find your next adventure, whether that be fiction or out in the open world!
◆ We accept all skill levels and types of players, even those who simply want to enjoy the library. Please respect everyone regardless if they choose to RP or not and keep out-of-character chatter to a minimum.◆ Weapons are allowed but must stay sheathed. Any physical fighting must be taken outside. Also, minions and pets are allowed unless there is an event.◆ Please keep out of staff-designated areas during service hours such as behind the front desk or behind the cafe's counter unless you are given permission.◆ IC =/ OOC. Players can have different opinions than how their characters react. If you have any issues with another player, it is highly encouraged to reach out to one of the library directors or staff first and let them handle it. This is to ensure that major problems are resolved in a polite, timely manner.◆ Avoid sexual content and extreme violence; given this is a library setting, we like to keep conversations and actions to PG-13/Teen rating as much as possible.While arguments and other distressing content are allowed, please note that the Director in Charge may ask you to stop or discuss it elsewhere if deemed necessary. Party chat or tells is also an option if you don’t wish to be interrupted.◆ Library can be used outside of public/event hours, however, the owner has a right to ask you to leave without notice.
