Technically, Cython is adding Mathilde's book hoard to their own, and then moving both hoards into the designated long term book hoard storage facility.
Was powering it an issue before?
Right now Mathilde needs multiple powers stones that can be replaced with 1 orb of Mathilde Sorcery.

So kind of a cohabitation situation.

Powerstones?
I don't think we would have used waystones for the hypothetical teleportation tower.

Best way to do it thought. Original Waystone Nexuses were established by Old Ones as teleportation network portals.

Let's add that as a stretchgoal to the waystone project.

I was mostly joking. I assume that kind of understanding is so far above what we can reach as to be borderline impossible.

The We are a person. A relatively intelligent person whose employer and main contact will be Mathilde and who first will need to be educated by someone with actual librarian skills. I see many drawbacks in hiring them as staff, but incapability of becoming competent at their job is not one of them. The only way I see that being an issue is if they are simply not happy with being a Librarian. In which case we should replace them even just on moral grounds.
What do you mean? I don't anticipate Mathilde having to personally educate the We on bibliothecography and customer service. In fact inability to outsource that would be an instant disqualifier for me when it comes to hiring them.
May I ask why, in the long term, it would be impossible for anyone to work in the library alongside the We?
I know I'm repeating myself, but this library is supposed to outlast "this day and age". Any option that can't advance with the times would be a bad option in my opinion.
Sorry. I wasn't trying to say that they will be unpleasant. I was trying to imply that they would feel unpleasantly. Actually and vocally being unpleasant over disappointments has become much less of a problem in this thread in my subjective awareness of things.
I wasn't trying to divide people either. I myself would feel part of that disappointment even if I actually end up voting for neither Cython nor the We. I completely understand what DragonParadox meant about the "boring" option. But I also completely understand those that favor exactly that option.
Oh cool. In canon only two Colleges have these and (iirc) the Hysh ones were actually only invented later in history by someone who within the Quest is now dead. Does that mean that there are actually many different devices akin to the Luminark (or at least 8+) and that the Luminark was mostly special due to going above and beyond in quality (compared to the previous go to Hysh battle altar)?
I don't ask you to invent it right now, but would Mathilde know the Ulgu one?
I apologize. I never meant to imply that you or others would become a problem. I literally meant that people would feel like you feel.
Speak for thine self.
@Boney i have a few questions to some of the update.
Firstly powerstones: would it be possible to gather all the patriarchs at once when we reveal the orbs?
Secondly the we: where would the we build their nest if they win? In the library itself or somewhere nearby?
Would the we change to adapt to their... Job? As in would they for example, get smaller, more dexterous claws, less food intake?
Even if it is over a long timespan?
Also how would Mathilde as head librarian integrate into the library we? Would they see her as part of it? Or as a outside influence? Would the we accept changes to initial rules of their library after some time?

Fundamentally I don't want to have Cython as librarian because this is Mathilde's book hoard, not Cython's and I don't want Cython to decide to fly off one day and take it with them.
The We I am less opposed to and mostly comes down to not wanting to force people to deal with arachnophobia when dealing with the library, but if its a question of spider librarians or giving our book hoard to Cython I will pick the giant spiders any day.

And an immortal We could learn fifteen kinds of emerging science... or not. We are not in the position to make plans for ages to come IMO.
It seems pretty likely to me that Cython will recruit their staff from K8Ps locals, simply as it makes the most sense availability and convenience wise. Plus even if they don't whoever they do get I don't think is going to be commuting across the continent for their workday. So will end up living and making connections there anyway.
So while it might not be as fast a integration of the library as the Locals vote, I think between that, and the fact that as long as the library is useful (Which I'm confident it will be) people are going to make use of it and it will become a part of the ecosystem regardless. That it will end up pretty close integration wise in the end despite taking a while longer.

I don't really think the We are going to be a very friendly library staff that serve as the basis for a long term institution. They can move books around, sure, but will they be able to properly assist users of the library? Will they go out of their way to help people hunt down knowledge? Will they be loyal to the idea of perserving knowledge, not for themselves but for future generations of species they have nothing to do with?
These are very alien minds and I don't think they'll produce a library that is good and useful for humans, dwarves, and halflings. It seems like a "cool spiders" choice rather than that they will make good librarians in what is ultimately at least half a service position.

"Training up the We" is much less of a problem than you think. Remember, the library isn't open yet and won't be for a while, so they'd have months/years of headstart on their training before having to go live.
That's not a problem when you hire immortals though...
