⚜ Founded in 309 AC by Vanectus Nomëssa in Crookback, Regalia, the Sister of Forgotten Pleasures began as a small courtly sanctuary, providing a safe haven for Estellians and their allies. After falling to destruction, some of its books were recovered and relocated to Root Court, where the Library of Forgotten Pleasures was established, alongside a small shrine dedicated to the Great Librarian.
In 312 AC, the library was moved to Floral Court, where ownership was passed to Wisteria Nomëssa. With recent patronage from the Sol Menveä Emmensëi Fanhamsaal, the library has now been relocated to bridge the beautiful districts of Fairbanks and Floral Court.

⚜ The Library of Forgotten Pleasures, is aligned with Estelley dogma and supported by both the Amontaari and the Regalian state, upholding Aseia as its principal patron. Its core values include the preservation of all knowledge, the recording of stories, and the nurturing of arcane education and mastery. The library is dedicated to the continual pursuit of political pro-magic missions keeping in balanced favor of the Arcanist Society and Aelrrigan order, upholding a high standard of responsibility over it's portrayal of magic. Importantly, the library endeavors to serve as a neutral and peaceful space, welcoming all who seek to access its literature. It also takes on the vital role of challenging biased Allorn narratives that permeate Estellian texts, striving for a more balanced and truthful preservation of knowledge.

⚜ The Library of Forgotten Pleasures is symbolised by shades of scholarly purples and mottled blues, though not worn as a formal uniform. The library's most recognisable symbol is its Aseia-devoted librarians, who wear traditional conical hats known as Aseyevila or Asevelan. This custom can be traced back to the original Aseia cults from the Southward Mountains in the Allorn Empire. Over time, these hats have become emblematic of scholarship and guidance in Estelley courts. Some say the different shapes of Aseyevila even have meaning such as taller points indicate longer lived wisdom, while ribbons of varying colors represent different research accomplishments. Moons and star charms are often seen dangling to represent Leyon and Aseia. Additionally, a caterpillar named Awry is featured on many of the library's transcripts, symbolising the continuous intellectual journey fostered by the library.
Due to the nature of the library being a shrine, job opportunities and membership have a few requirements though to be a regular patron requires none of the following:

⚜ Although none currently reside in the library, these scholar-mages are held in the highest regard by Aseia loyalists for their immense power and relentless pursuit of knowledge. Typically distinguished by their stone masks and yellow robes, they command the utmost respect and are granted unrestricted access to the library and its archives.
⚜ If you are looking for play an Esl-Maveral, plot hooks are open!

⚜ One step below scholar-mages, these Aseia loyalists are either aspiring to become Esl-Maveral or are devoted to the preservation of knowledge rather than its active pursuit. Recognisable by their cone-shaped hats, these librarians oversee the daily operations of the library and maintain diplomatic relations with neighboring libraries, educational institutions, knight orders and the Arcanist Society They also hold the privilege of unrestricted access to the library and its archives.
