The Order of the Library of the Neitherlands are the creators and caretakers of the Neitherlands and keepers of the Library.
History[]
The Order of the Library of the Neitherlands is the organization that oversees the Neitherlands. It was founded by travelers who gathered knowledge from across the universe. Becoming the guardians of knowledge considered too dangerous to be in the hands of ordinary magicians.
In ancient times five Librarians from the order searched for a way to become Gods. The Old Gods aided the Magicians by providing them with the twin siblings that were imprisoned in Castle Blackspire due to the flaws of their creation; they were unable to be killed and could not function if separated from each other. The Librarians successfully managed to bind the sister into four Stone Organs, which they then bound to themselves, becoming Gods. It is unknown how the librarians contacted or petitioned them.
Maybe the most powerful section of the library is the Books of Everyone section. Which contains a book for everyone that has ever lived. Detailing their entire lives from birth to death. This was possible using Cassandra, a scribe employed by the order who was cursed to see visions of the future by a god. The order Industrialized her "gift", acquiring great knowledge and making countless prophetic books on everyone across the multiverse. The library also contains a copy of every book ever written. Including texts containing what would be considered "forbidden knowledge", like Ars Deicidium. However, most of these books were destroyed to stop them from falling into the hands of the Visigoths that invaded the library.
