The Eternal Library

Info
The Eternal Library is a large, building-sized device built by the Spatial Evocation Krewe capable of obtaining, storing and projecting the memories of any living being so long as it is intelligent, sentient and self-aware. It gains information from across Tyria using a series of pillars scattered throughout the land that pulse out mesmeric energy to read and process the memories of qualifying beings within range and relay them back to the device itself which acts like a hub of information, storing it all within its databanks.

The device has two primary segments, a console and an interface, and thus requires a minimum of two people to operate. The individual at the console controls what memories get loaded into the projector and monitors the progress of the simulation as well as the subject at the interface, who is in direct control of the recreated memory, experiencing it in an intricate 360-degree simulation of the events.

The Eternal Library has been outfitted with near unlimited storage capacity, capable of scrapping and recycling the same floating chunks of data to be able to consistently hold onto each byte. It's controlled by a powerfully enchanted neuro-illusionary crystal at the core of the interface segment, and draws energy from several magitech generators present just beneath the floor of the console. In the event of a power outage, the device will continue to gather and store information, but will not be able to project simulations until primary power is restored.

There was a cataclysmic malfunction upon the first test of the device, despite all research documents and countless hours of careful study pointing towards a positive outcome, rendering the lab in which it was created completely inaccessible. The documentation and schematics have been sealed away within the ruins of the destroyed lab, and nearly all senior members of the research team have either passed away or gone missing.

It is unknown if the only currently existing instance of the Eternal Library is still functioning, but the impassable field of magic pulsing around the radius of the lab in which it was created possibly suggests that it's still gathering information to this day.
