Library of the Sun
I am Count Arcanis pledged to the Grand Duchy of Erzhalden, who is sworn to the Kingdom of Vornair.
Since I first backed CoE on Kickstarter, it has been my mission to create a place of learning, creativity, and peace. With complete transparency, if we win the Sunstone and the extra EP we can build a magnificent tower, free for everyone to come and learn or express their arts.
About myself
I am currently on my last semester in college to get my Bachelors in Social Work with the intent to go on to my Masters. I am a firm believer in the sharing of knowledge and making sure that everyone is fed, healthy, and most importantly having fun.
I currently have 4215 EP with which I plan to start my settlement and begin on the library, regardless of what happens. I do not have much, but I am putting any extra money I save into buying EP.
About the land
Currently, in our mock-land selection within the Duchy, I will have access to the coast and a river for transportation. Indeed, I will have more sway with the land selection if we succeed.
As I am currently in the fertile north: food, protection, and the freedom to learn and share your knowledge are things that I can promise you.
Why me?
My goal is the creation and upkeep for a place where everyone can learn or create in a safe and productive atmosphere. I have no care for wealth, fame, or conquest and plan on spending every extra gold I earn in my land to the creation and upkeep of the library. As such I will be completely transparent with my plans for the EP and open to suggestions on how to build it.
Plans for the Building
My plans for the building would be a large atrium on the ground level, a place to relax, listen to music, and congregate for news or social gatherings.
Below would be safe workshops for alchemy, smithing, and legerdemain. With lower levels for storage and underground flora cultivation.
Higher levels would contain a training yard/arena, With most other levels being the library, classrooms and meeting rooms, and finally nearing the top where the sun stone will lay would be levels of gardens.
How will this get done?
With your support and donation we can make this a reality. To that end I would gladly allow to floors and room to be dedicated to donors who also wish for this to become reality (well virtual reality) and have your name (virtually) immortalized within the best place of learning in our server!
It is my hope that we reach the second tier of rewards and cinder concrete will be discovered foe the shell and foundation for the building.
Staff
Of course running this will not be a solo venture, the building and gardens will maintenance, scheduled for rooms and classes will need to be organized (as well as taught), food well need to be made, and the building and stone will require protection.
Economy
So while the building will be including access to the library and general classes money will be required to maintain the building and pay staff. Donations are always appreciated and rooms, workshops, and materials well be sold at a modest rate. Plus any interesting relics, plants, books, maps, animals, basically anything is welcome to be sold so that it can be cataloged and added to the library.
Donations
To that end if you are willing to donate please join my discord https://discord.gg/uTU5eP so that I can hear from you and what you want for the library. You can also message me here or on discord directly with the amount you donated so that I can be sure to properly thank you.
It will also be my goal to somehow compensate all donors somehow in game if we are able to complete our building.
