Loresworn

In the Great Archive of Utter Harness are creatures of pure knowledge who act as librarians and lorekeepers in the vaults and stacks of the ancient edifice. Called Loresworn, they appear as figures in hooded robes who silently glide here and there, arranging the books in a system known to themselves and the faithful of Lisa, Goddess of Knowledge. Their hands, feet and faces are never seen and when asked a question, their voices are the soft hissing of fluttering pages as though a book were left near a breezy window.

Notable Loresworn

The one exception is the idea that all Loresworn are sibilant whisperers is the one called D'ren. Thought to be the eldest of the Loresworn, his lined and kindly face is seen if somewhat dimly in the depths of his hood and his voice, while soft, is animated and lively. At his side hangs The Living Index, a metal bound book said to hold all the knowledge contained in the Great Archive and beyond.
