Celestial Library

The Celestial Library is a physical building that circumscribes the Disc like a great wall. The library is very large and many travelers to the Disc move through it to make their way to locations on the Disc, but despite frequent visitors, it remains a very mysterious place with many nooks and passageways that have never been explored. There are many sections of the library and many Fonlanders believe that there are books on any topic that can exist in the Fonlands, but this has not been verified because of the sheer number of books that it contains. Many Fonlanders believe that each book was hand selected by Lêgba and that he has ready the countless books of the Library.  

Changing Desert

The Changing Desert exists between the Celestial and Void Libraries. It was created by the first Golden Orb Weaver spider of the Disc, Aku, using her magic to transform her large web into the perilous terrain that it is today. Because of the nature of her powers, the changing desert is known to ensnare travelers with elaborate mirages. There are many cities in the Desert inhabited by dwellers of the Disc who are familiar with the magic that permeates it. 

Featherlegs

The Featherleg spider kin are known as the strongest of the spider kin on the Disc. They are large with long hairy legs. The hairs of the Featherlegs along the tips of their legs are stiff and sharp and they can flick the hairs at enemies or prey to impale thick hide or golden armor. They can quickly shoot their silk to ensnare or evade enemies, and they are adept at combat with their legs.  

Golden Orb Weavers

Aku was the first of the Golden Orb Weavers spider kin and her nest has been located on the exertion of the Celestial Library for much of its existence. The Weaver kin are known to consume the insect kin of the Disc and they inhabit both the Void and Celestial Libraries to rid the books of any pests that might damage them. Weavers build large, strong webs that glitter with gold and they are able to weave illusions that can fool the eye of their prey. The kin is strong in both Black and Yellow/Gold magic. 

Void Library

The Void Library is a physical building that circumscribes the midpoint of the radius of the Disc that marks the separation between the Changing Desert and the Shifting Planes, with the Planes inside of the circle created by the Void Library. It is an extension of the Celestial Library and it is possible to enter the Celestial Library and make your way to the Void Library without crossing the Changing Desert, though most Fonlanders are wary of dwelling in either library for too long. Owuo created the Void Library and chose many of the books that it contains, but it is used to house overflow from the Celestial Library as well. Owuo created the Labyrinth of Myriad Horrors inside of the library to dissuade those snooping around for secrets that Lêgba chose to bury there.
