A system for searching for specific knowledge within the library's  depths, as well as 30 unusual books and the secret knowledge they  contain. Tables for generating treasure, dreams, rumors, and various other useful details. A unique class of Mummified Sages, post-human academics who've dwelled in the Library for decades or more. It's a big spooky library full of dangerous knowledge, spiritual automata and ghost-fueled computers.
