Firstly, welcome to this, our new base of operations, kindly provided to us by the good people at Waiting4Oblivion. This forum is the crucible for our ideas, the starting point for our projects, and the nexus for our discussions.
Unlike the single thread that we hold on the official TES Forums, feel free to start a completely new thread if you have an idea that you feel warrants it.
I've been made a moderator for this forum, so please act considerately to your fellow members.
So, what is this whole thing about then?
The Library of Tes F'Ruum is a community mod open to all fans of The Elder Scrolls series. The mod itself will be a library, housing books and other pieces written entirely by the fans of these games. That is why this mod is starting so early; we can collect the works now, get the spelling and Lore polished up before the game is released, and once it is, we can build the Library and place all the books inside.
There is a back-story to The Library that is still going through some development, and I'll be writing it as my Founders' Fate, but the main point agreed on so far is that The Library is a secret place. The Librarian, and the other people who helped establish The Library (The Founders), collected extremely rare books and texts, many of which contained great knowledge. Some of the works collected were labelled as heretical by the empire, and instead of shutting The Library down and having all the books lost forever, The Librarian moved The Library to a secret location, and by doing so was himself labelled an Heretic.
So, The Library became something like a secret society for scholars and people who saw past the empire's heretical label.
