Welcome to Gaia! ::

Most majestic of the three lesser domes, the University Dome is keeps its shining white-gold shine thanks to the efforts of a full-time janitorial staff. The mysterious metal is shaped into winding hallways that snake around medium-sized classrooms. Looking at the tables and chairs, one can almost imagine the students in fervent study at the round tables as their professors circle them, keeping a steady eye out for misbehavior of any sort.

At the heart of the university is the great library, the greatest collection of Frostschildian knowledge and history in all of Gaia. Every book ever written about the city is contained within these shelves, and if one were to study them carefully, one might glean uncommon insight into the city's current plight. [Book List in the second post.]

They walk up to the big golden and Arturo gives Bleue a crash course on the subject.

"Azhralani rules Frostchild, has ruled for like 550 years. She gives us hope, keeps the city warm and lets us live in peace. Its her divine protection that gives us the fields but I don't know if they can just go away. She is all powerful so I don't see how it could happen."

They cross into the University Domes Unity field and a feeling of some numbness passes over them. They are invincible as long as in the field.

Arturo leads Bleu deftly through the winding halls to the library, a massive room lined with tons and tons fo books.

"In Azhralanis eyes we are all eqaul even if we don't have money or power. Every month She holds meetings that everyone can come to and bask in her radiance and hear her wisdom. She loves us all as her children, and we are blessed beyond others in Gaia because we are truly close to our god"

He comes to a stop in front of a shelf and picks out a book "On the Nature of Gods." "This is by a good friend of Azhralanis, it explains a little bit about her."

"Like gods at war with each other?" Arturo disappears into the stacks and comes back with two more books. "Try these. 0 ME: Blessing of Sunrise and Abridged History of the Shield. One's about Azhralani coming from the heavens to teach us and ones about the founding of Frostchild and the unity fields. History books but its a good start right?"

"No, I think thats good," Arturo says, bending over and watching Brad set things up. "What does that do?"

"Okay, good thing you're with me, then," Arturo says grimly. "Most outsiders wouldn't figure this out but the domes are all connected. We can go straight to the Palace from here."

Leading Bleu down the halls they go down until they reach a tunnel that branches off from the hallway. "This way," he says as he moves to Palace Dome

Chen enters into the University Dome. Not as big, but still just as grand. As he passed through the hallways, he noticed the door openings into rooms of with their circular formations. When he finally gets to the central area, he comes upon a library. Now this is where it was at.

He walks inside, seeing the shelves of books here and there. That is until his backs bumps into the shelf that usually will belong to the receptionist, and notices a paper on the counter. Picking it up, it had a list of the following books:


Picking up the list, he decides to start his investigation by looking for these particular books, moving already to use the ever handy library catalog to get the call numbers and locations of these books.

Chen knew his way around a library. After a few minutes of gathering, he finally each one of the books on the list. Before he would go sit down and read them, he notices a coffee machine. Going over, he hits the button, and in moments the dark liquid comes pouring into the container. Getting one of those plastic cups, he pours the hot coffee in it, stirs some cream, and heads off to his designated table.

Sitting down at the table, he places the books out and begins to read through each one. He was a fast learner and reader thanks to his enhanced human intellect obtained from genetics, so he was going to be going through each book like they were little children stories. Crossing his leg, he settles back and reads.
