What's the name of the World's Edge Mountains in Khazalid?

If they're being referred to separately from the Karaz Ankor, It doesn't so much have a name as a lack of one - they're simply referred to as 'umkaraz', meaning 'the mountains'. Sort of a 'fish have no word for water' thing. If you're talking about some lesser mountain range you need to specify which, but not those ones. Sometimes 'utgromthi umkaraz' is used if for some reason it does need to be specified, meaning 'mountains of our ancestors', but that's more a clarification than an official title.

I guess my joking reply wasn't as much of a joke as I thought, huh?
 
Can we get some more love for head librarian?

Think of all the fun interactions, the possible if far of spider librarians, the boost having our contacts and reach hooked in directly to the library, even the boosts we ourselves might get eventually, if you care about that kind of thing.

I feel like this is more accurate and I appreciate the plausible deniability of WEBIR. I'm sure esoteric research will happen, but the point is intersectional research.

Happy with either of these.

This one is beautiful.

In general I have to give you huge kudos for diving that deeply into Khazalid and applying quite a bit of ingenuity to make the language work in a greater context than probably envisioned by the creators. I've had a lot of fun puzzling through the official Boon request with a couple of redditors and you've also been open to talking about it beyond just the immediate needs of your Quest. Thank you again.

To truly guide the library towards our intended vision, we have to be there to establish its traditions.

From PMs with Boney I learned that "grozkron" means something along the lines of large library (or I guess it could also mean 144/many books, 144 years/over a century worth of written history, or big brain/eidetic memory). Is anyone interested in using that in the Library title? Example: "Grozkron-Azril-Ungol/Great Library of the Silver Depths"

Also less relevant, but umkron is a good word for a generic bookshelf and utkron is a cute and intimate way to refer to a shared personal library. Or a hivemind...
