Nestled on the crook of the Crescent Lake lies a sprawling fortress, circling around a bustling town. Held within the walls is the town of Graveport, founded by Antler in the Autumn of Year 5. The residents there live content lives, happy to survive in their new world, but all are aware that their little village is much more than meets the eye.
The not-cats that settled the town did not build it from scratch, unlike many of the villages built by the other pioneers that came through Nestor's gate. Instead, they stumbled upon the ruins of a castle town lying quiet on the shoreline. The castle had long since vanished, and most of the walls were falling in on themselves, but it was a suitable skeleton to begin their new life.
It did not take long to find the dim stairs within the walls, leading down into a pitch black underground that snaked underneath the village. Bringing torches down revealed a winding labyrinth of bookshelves, stuffed full with volumes of all shapes and sizes. The books were largely written in languages the not-cats did not understand, but they fully understood the whispers that pressed into their minds while they perused the dark library.
Now, they all hunger for the same stories the Living Library desires. Though ominous and even more eerie than their first patron, Nestor, the Living Library provides protection within the walls of its now rebuilt town. In exchange, it requests only one thing: the continued growth of its contents. It accepts all works that are created in good faith, from the scribbled journals of a young kitten to the magnum opus of an exhausted career writer.
