Rooms of Calamity were also alliterative, they were all accompanied by the adjective starting with the same letter.

Maybe something simple and grand for the library.
"Library of the World" or some such.

I know, I'm the one who came up with that.
Sadly, the alliterative bits didn't make it to the story proper. In the update, she doesn't use the adjectives.

I mean, a cat should know that herding is the wrong approach to even try, yeah? Never underestimate the obduracy of reflexive feline spite for asserted authority!

Belebro, you need to look on the bright side of things: with an Emperor Dragon librarian, no one will dare have overdue books. And if the Dragon gets involved enough to actively be the librarian, it will gain an interest in the library not falling, and by extension, the Karak, or at least part of it, not falling.

Or loan any, the books shall be perfectly preserved and none may damage them by opening them.
This is good and pure.
But on the the upside, Eaglo will make a totally sweet song out of it, so it think that's a win on the whole.
No joke, but the We would make a great librarian. They're intelligent, curious, systematic and great at horizontal traversal. Anyone who's to load gets forcibly calmed via poison fang.
And Cython will be the one you have to explain lost or damaged books to. Contrary to what you might think, this is actually mercyfull, because the alternative would explaining to a grumpy dwarf that you've damaged the repayment of K8Ps to one of its most cherished friends and allies.
I really like this bit. Super cute, and I totally see it happen. Great mental image.

Nah. If Cython agrees to swear an oath, they will probably stick to the terms.

On the other hand, this only remains the case until the dragon falls asleep for a couple decades. Which would make the help desk very much not live up to its name.

They will clearly swear to protect and preserve the books, and mumble at any sections that mention loaning stuff out.

Anyone interested in naming the Branch in khalazid as well? I was trying to think of something I liked for purpose/resonance, and Gorak Grungron is 'magical forge'.
I suppose you could gloss it as Grungron Gorak Kron as well- the forge of magical knowledge.
But I really liked the "Intracollege and Extracollege" line Boney had, and I want to keep it.
So maybe even play up there bureaucratic style a bit?

That's why Cython is only the head librarian. The help desk is operated by Dwarfs/Halflings?Humans that don't have to use Battle Magic to fit indoors. The Dragon just gets to weigh in on the important stuff.
I dunno. Knowing I could go and look at a sleeping dragon whenever I want would be very helpful to me. It's very comforting.
And these poor people don't have the internet, so they can't substitue cat pictures. (Clearly, the reason the Elves can't wake up more dragons is that they just can't find the will)
I think one of the things I like about the update is that Algard and Kurtis are really enthusiastic about the branch collage. They both seem to think it's a good idea, and it's got me excited for it too.
Also, I tried to look up Halétha, but all I could find is that she's a Protector Goddess of the Hedgewise. I don't suppose anyone knows any more about her?

Silmarillion Loan, maybe? Haleth was one of the chieftains of the tribes of men during the first age.
Not warhammer relevant, but knowing Warhammer's kitchen sink origins, could be?

Just to be sure: how long is "modern", here? Because if this started when Dwarfholds were named "Karak", then it'd been thousands of years...
Not that Dawi couldn't consider something millennia old to be "modern", of course
At this point it's not panic anymore. Trepidation at most. He's resigned to Mathilde being Mathilde. You roll with the punches, catch the Karaks as they jump into your boat, and enjoy flexxing K8P's victories in front of other Kings.

My notes are currently in a dead computer, but from memory I had the idea of "Weber's Experimentation Branch for Esoteric Research."

Something Thorgrim and Belegar have in common.
There really isn't much about Haletha in the book that is referenced on the Wiki. A quick Ctrl + F in my PDF reveals 9 instances of Haletha. 8 of which are references to Haletha's Joy, a Fertility spell. The 9th is the "Protector of the Hedgefolk". It's just a name; any juicy stuff we get will be Boney-canon.
I like it. It includes her name, and if people shorten it, it still includes her name, but it otherwise sounds like something people would actually use as a name. Which isn't that restrictive, given that Very Large Telescope and Extremely Large Telescope are both actual, real names.
But yeah, "I work at WEBER" sounds pretty fitting/accurate to me.

Is it wrong that, now that we have the library, I want to go buying Lizardman Plaques? (Or rubbings of them, whatever works.)
Not even for any mechanical benefit, but just because "Yeah, this looks like writing, which means they're probably some kind of records, so technically they're books. Buy 'em up/acquire copies and shelve 'em."
After all, Karak Eight Peaks is part of the World's Edge mountains.

Can I suggest a different start to the backronym? I think it can be made to flow just a little more nicely.

You know everyone, back in the day libraries would only let you read the books on site due to their ludicrously high value.They will clearly swear to protect and preserve the books, and mumble at any sections that mention loaning stuff out.
So not loaning stuff out might not only not be an issue, it may very well be standard practice.
