Dance and know that even death can wither and die. Even life eternal is not time enough to see all the folly and despair of all humanity.

The Preservers are an order dedicated to the preservation of all knowledge. It is simple in theory, but in practice, the archiving and maintenance of all knowledge that was known and would ever be known would be something beyond even mortal’s wildest abilities. So the Preservers became something beyond mortal. Pacts made and maintained over the ages would be upheld, archives defended and updated, and the Library of the Preservers inhabited. All may enter, though it is another question if they would leave. Many would find themselves trapped there, though of their own will and preference. Knowledge unbound and unrestricted, excluding a few items protected zealously by the Preservers. A wizard’s dream, and a way to ensure the security and sanctity of the knowledge and spells they’ve found and held onto for as long as the Library stands.

Yet, even the most well-intentioned items may be used to spread despair and cause folly untold. Around the Tower of the Preservers rose mortals enmass who would seek to tear it down for their own profit. The Preservers forever focused on their charge, would ignore them. The Library would be unassailable, and the Pacts of Old must be upheld. So when the outsiders attacked, time and time again, it was said on the twenty-seventh attack that the rage of the Preservers was finally Provoked.

The Outsiders sought knowledge, they sought power, they sought more at the cost of the Preservers… So the Preservers gave them what they sought. That day, the Preservers unleashed every magic from their tower. Those who sought power found it, as they saw what could only be the power of the gods themselves walking the lands. Those that sought knowledge would be forever bound to the Tower, until the gods themselves faded away, bound to organize, protect, and save knowledge… yet never being able to have any for themselves. Those who sought to destroy the Preservers found them, and everything they built laid to ruin and subjugated. Chained up and enslaved to the Preservers, mercy from them as the outsiders knew that the potential to reduce everything to not even nothing. But this “Mercy”... Was it truly mercy?

The Preservers returned to their own ways, but even as they did the world around them could not. The Preservers, their mission, and their oaths were forgotten by the world. They became the Rulers of the Profaned Library and several Kingdoms were said to be ruled, or vassalized, by them.

All that is truly known in the current age, is that the only one who has insight into the Profaned Library is the one known as Ithall Urhan the Preserver, who acts as the only point of contact between the world at large and the ones within the Library.
