Action by Jaenelle
Not every war is fought with weapons of steel and muscle behind it to wield with deadly purpose. Knowledge and logic are just as important in striving for and earning freedom, justice, and peace. Having a space for greater education and learning has been something that Jaenelle has always been passionate about, finding that understanding is just as powerful a tool. This center of learning will embrace knowledge, encouraging people from all walks of life to better themselves with books and scrolls about anything and every thing they might be interested in.
The library will be built in Lenosia, with hope to be spoken of as the hub of knowledge that people travel from far and wide to experience. Where mathematicians, scholars, historians, and occultists come to strengthen their comprehension of their fields of study, and are only too happy to share their knowledge in return with donations of time and written accounts of their works for others to read after they are gone. Though the large building is free for all to enter, the top floor of the library is corded off for future expansion into the arts of magic (though that might be just a mysterious whispers as to why its been blocked and only select few are free to pass).
The social resources will be put towards gathering books from other houses, the dark corners of the world and the rare first editions that might no longer be available. The economic resources will be put towards the building itself, the large expansive library will have huge vaulted ceilings and shelves for miles filled with every subject. Smaller rooms for more personal studies will be made available as well as lecture halls for those who wish to teach their knowledge to those traveling. The military resources will be the protection used to bring the books to the library and to oversee the work site as the building is built.
Action by Eleyna
The Archduchess of Lenosia has always been a strong proponent of education as a means to better one's life, whether the person be a noble or a commoner. A better educated population is a more useful population when all sentimentality is stripped away from the matter and the typical Lycene pragmatism sets in. So, when Jaenelle first started mentioning that she wanted to helm such a project for Lenosia, Eleyna was thrilled and happy to work with her on it. Now, with a site selected and a plan for the Library's construction and accural of material in place, Eleyna sets her eyes on helping to flesh out the alchemical and apothercary texts of the Library, given that is her own specialty. While she assists Jaenelle, it is clear that this is the Princess' baby with the Archduchess offering advice and assistance where asked.
Result
The Princess Jaenelle Velenosa's Library of Lenosia has been under construction for some time, an institution so large that it has significantly increased the size of the city. Going for miles, the library is stocked with thousands upon thousands of books, and has the deep throated approval of the Scholars of Vellichor who greatly appreciate any contributions to knowledge, and it has become a major attraction with much of the peerage wishing to go see the new library. Second only in size to the Great Archive, it may be years before it's fully stocked, but much of the Compact is incredibly excited about the Library.
