The Sareötic Library was one of the greatest libraries in the known world in the time of the Ceneian Empire. The so-called “script law” of Iothiah forced, on punishment of death, all visitors bearing books to surrender them for copying and inclusion in the Library. Though the Sareöts were massacred when Shigek fell to the Fanim in 3933, Padirajah Fan’oukarji III spared the Library when he found it contained maps useful for his Jihad, thinking it the will of the Solitary God. The Sareötic Library is destroyed in 4111 during a battle between Drusas Achamian and sorcerers of the Scarlet Spires.
