Arcanaeum

The Arcanaeum is one of the Seven Great Creations of A'laur, and is located in the most fortified portion of the citadel which contains the Archive. The Arcanauem contains the accumulated knowledge of the Archive, including those documents which are too dangerous or important to be physically kept. It contains the design details of all other Great Creations, as well as the details of the lesser magical constructs.

This information is stored, managed, and cataloged by the Custodian, a metaphysical magical intelligence. The knowledge, as well as the Custodian itself, are not present in their physical form. Rather, the Arcanaeum stores an understanding of their nature, perhaps best described as their 'essence', and renders the objects and texts in a comprehensible and physical form when necessary.
