Korranberg Library Shares Genealogical Records with Karrnathi Cult Korranberg Library Shares Genealogical Records with Karrnathi Cult News for Sul, Eyre 15th, 998 By David Noonan KORRANBERG -- On Wir, Library of Korranberg loremasters announced their intention to share genealogical tomes with the Blood of Vol, a controversial cult native to Karrnath. Twelve Blood of Vol priests will have open- stack privileges at the Korranberg Library, and a dozen Korranberg researchers will gain similar privileges at the Blood of Vol's Crimson Monastery, which is located in the Karrnathi cit y of Atur.

"Our records of the noble families living in northern Khorvaire are spotty, but the Blood of Vol has records going back for centuries. This historic opportunity was simply too good to pass up."

ORRANBERG -- On Wir, Library of Korranberg loremasters announced their intention to share genealogic

mes with the Blood of Vol, a controversial cult native to Karrnath. Twelve Blood of Vol priests will have ope

ack privileges at the Korranberg Library, and a dozen Korranberg researchers will gain similar privileges at

ood of Vol's Crimson Monastery, which is located in the Karrnathi city of Atur.

remaster Hurian Zarrek emphasized that despite the Blood of Vol's macabre beliefs, the information in the

lt's genealogical records rivals the combined lore of Korranberg itself. "So many family histories were

stroyed or lost in the Last War," Zarrek said. "Our records of the noble families living in northern Khorvaire

otty, but the Blood of Vol has records going back for centuries. This historic opportunity was simply too go

ss up."

ood of Vol worship is legal in Karrnath but forbidden elsewhere -- including in Zilargo -- because of cult

embers' tendencies to dabble in necromancy and other unsavory practices. Zarrek stated that for this reas

e priests from Karrnath would be strictly enjoined from conducting public religious ceremonies or advocatin

eir cult while in Korranberg.

rrek further affirmed that this agreement marks a significant coup for the Library of Korranberg. "Never be

s the Blood of Vol offered up any of its lore for the scrutiny of others," he said. "This arrangement could ea

sult in a doubling of our genealogical information."

e priests from Karrnath are due to arrive in approximately one month. The Korranberg researchers should

part next week.
