Re: Libraries:  Is this including all documents and document-like objects
(i.e. scrolls, cuneiform tablets, metallic cylinders inscribed with sounds)?
What about the intrinsic knowledge of staff, up to and including long-lived
creatures who inhabit these libraries?

For Qai specifically, Mir has the most text (especially if the vaults of the
under-city are included) although the exact contents of the Mountain of the
Moon Warriors has never been determined.  If the definition of library were
extended to include oral traditions, shared knowledge, and the living
repositories of knowledge which can outlive texts, then the discussion gets
sticky in a hurry.

On an unrelated issue,  the next four chapter arch of the Eerith Cantos are
awaiting only my editor's final approval before they are ready to post.  The
question is, given the fact that the plot for the Cantos began in Qai 1413
and we've turned over several players (and since the narratives don't go on
the website), shall I post only the new stuff or repost starting from the
Missing end in uuencoded file: ning may be truncated.
