The Magisterial Society of Navigators & Explorers Archival Library, N.E.A.L. for short, is more than a place for books, it is an educational institution focused on providing knowledge and literacy throughout the realms.
Centuries ago, when I first started exploring realms beyond my own, I discovered how fascinated people were by other worlds, by the cultures and times of realms beyond their own. I soon found myself bringing books wherever I traveled that showcased the lives of other people; more so, I began collecting books as well, wanting to devour every tidbit of knowledge from across the planes.
After years of traveling and accumulating a vast personal library, I realized that more than anything, I wished to share that collection, and my love of reading, with anyone who showed even the slightest interest. Back then, we were a small group of explorers who had just started The Magisterial Society, looking to expand our breadth of knowledge. At the urging of our chief explorer and map maker, Rue the Cartographer, I first opened my collection to fellow travelers but soon realized it could be so much more. Thus the N.E.A.L. was born.
What started as a small personal collection of various books and art, turned into an institution of learning and cultural preservation. From the tiny shop we first started in to the huge campus we currently operated from, N.E.A.L. has always been a place where one could go to find whatever they are seeking.
