Librarians protect the Library.

I have never failed in my duty, until six misfit heirs burst into the Arcanaeum and stole my attention. Now, my negligence might have cost us everything.

Thanks to a stinging betrayal I should’ve seen coming, the Library has fallen. The very necromancer who murdered me centuries ago has taken over the vast halls of learning, ruining everything I’ve worked so hard to build. Defeating him is impossible.

Or is it?

The Arcanaeum has always been more than just a building. It’s a community, a living temple dedicated to the public good, and it’s worthless without a Librarian to unlock the knowledge contained within.

And those misfit heirs? They’re going to help me take it back.
