That’s going to be pimp! Luckily, Alzar dedicated a huge section of the 100 yard Keep to his library, which was pretty small with the books he had thus far acquired.

Eventually he’ll come to a similar deal with the College of Wizardry. Except they’ll bring his books over, just plan, in backpacks or chests, from his library in Khaibar. He gives them the passcode, and provides some books for them to make copies of texts they want to retain in Hamedh so that it doesn’t “lose it’s learning.”

6 months later, Alzar will have this:

History of the Badlands Tribes (20 gp)
Encyclopedia of Local Plants (50 gp)
Diary of the Wizard, Zelligar
Meteorological Phenomena of Hamedh (75 gp)
Tribal History of this Duergar Clan
Yaghoub’s Journal
Three books of magical history
Book on history of tower and residents
11 books on the nature of demi-humans – 250 gp
100 Books from Bone Hill Study
1000 gp library of 300 general purpose books from Dungeon in Desert
6 Books on Worship of Nabilah
1200 GP of works on spell research for Scrollmend
5000 gp research library from Nadir’s Tower
Complete Leather-Bound 10 Volume Set of writings of Japheth Arcane (5000 gp set)
Scrolls, Maps, Journals, War Plans from Tomb of Amhara


Yeah baby!
