	In Spring 381YE the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate]] voted to [[Construct_the_Great_Library_of_Hacynian\|restore]] the library there. Work on the new structure was quickly completed, shortly before the Summer Solstice 381YE, and the first librarians and archaeologists arrived within the week. The new building was constructed as much as possible in the style of the old ruins, incorporating their original stone wherever possible. The structure was not especially large, but it was noted for its beauty, and filled with shelves of scrolls and parchments written by students of Navarr history.

	The first library incorporated a small shrine dedicated to the virtue of [[Wisdom]]. The shrine was lit by a single lightstone held by a wooden candlestick with swirling vines carved on its surface, a relic of the ancient temple. Carved by Jhessail Cedny, one of the founders of the nearby [[steading]] of Foxden, the candlestick apparently also sat in the original library before it was destroyed by the Vard.

	In the end it took just a year to complete, with [[A_thousand_years_of_longing\|the results published in Winter 385YE]]. Many of the scholars were surprised how little new information was discovered or needed. Once research began, it slowly became clear that the seminal text, "On the Nature of the Vallorn" by Siân Eternal, had already accomplished the bulk of the work. Her book compiles almost everything that was known about the history of Terunael and the ~~Vallorn~~ into one authoritative text.

Her book compiles almost everything that was known about the history of Terunael and the vallorn into one authoritative text.

	A lot of time was spent validating and confirming everything that was published, and adding what new information that was found into that picture. What the research achieved was to clearly highlight the answers that existed in Siân's text and to conclusively demonstrate that the Empire now possessed everything there is to know on this subject. There will always be new information coming to light, but the scholars who spent a year studying at Hacynian could be sure that their results represented everything of substance that there was to know about the creation of the vallorn and what can be done to undo it.

	Such a move was unprecedented. Such a collection has never existed before, not even in the days before Nicovar. As the history of the [[The_Dance_of_Navarr_and_Thorn#Description\|Dance of Navarr and Thorn]] indicates, there have always been pieces of history, knowledge that small groups of Navarr possessed, that have simply become lost to the nation as a whole over the course of the last ~~millenium~~. With a place to store it, the scholars and vates would finally be able to start cross-referencing and comparing notes, weighing each piece of information, and building up a picture of what has happened in the past - and what might be done in the future.

	The ~~prognostcations~~ were clear - if every scrap of lore the Empire possessed about the vallorn was brought together in one place, then study of the documents would provide the Navarr with the information they have been searching for. A way to finally destroy the vallorn that could be achieved now rather than in another thousand years. It would take years to go through every document, but once complete the truth would be ~~incontravertible~~.

	Inspired by the opportunity, [[Construct Great Library of Hacynian\|work began on the new structure]] almost immediately. There was support from the department of [[historical research]] who allocated hundreds of hours of work going through their own papers. Bibliophiles and ~~scholares~~ of [[the League]] donated books and texts to the new library and many came to Hacynian personally to help ensure they were catalogued correctly. [[Highguard]] urged every archivist, curator, and grey pilgrim to create copies of any document relating to Terunael and the struggle against the vallorn and send it north.

You feel confident that inaction is the worst mistake you could make given what you know.''</quote>
	Rather than create something grandiose, Nathair Autumngale used to the true liao to consecrate the original Wisdom shrine still housed near the ~~hear~~ of the Great Library, thus linking this grand edifice to its storied past. Those who tarry here speak of the power of the aura that imbues everyone who visits the shrine with a profound sense that they can solve any problem if they only trust their judgement and the knowledge the only bad choice is to choose to do nothing at all.
