An ancient library that exists in a demi-plane that lies outside of space and time which was created by the god of knowledge Aegrot. This library has entrances all across the Material Plane, that appear and disappear seemingly at random. Entry to the library is barred to any who cannot give an offering of wisdom which does not yet exist in the library, be it a grimoire, a method of harvesting plants or simply a poem. Those who have found themself in the library say that it contains a single librarian, though no one can ever seem to agree on what they look like. This ever-growing library contains the knowledge of countless generations, and is a heavily sought after location to visit by scholars who seek to expand their studies.

Throughout the library skeletons, corpses and ghosts can be found wandering its halls, looking for their next book to read. With their souls trapped within the demi-plane until they are freed, many ancient scholars simply possess or manipulate their own dead bodies so that they may continue their research, some going so far as to kill themselves long before the end of their natural lifespan, so that they need not worry about eating or sleeping.

A group of magical craftsmen that collaborate and research the nature of magic, and its applications. This organization spans much of the Empire and its sworn states, though it's membership is located most heavily in the eastern regions of the Empire. Members of The Artifaction Society typically went to The Grand Institute for Mystical Arts before joining, but anyone with sufficient magical ability and the proper certification may join.

Burgdalin invests quite heavily into promising members of The Artifaction Society because of their invaluable skills which can massively strengthen their military might. Members of The Artifaction Society typically do not have to present their work to the organization, and are free to do their work for whoever they please, which has resulted in a great number of nobles employing members of The Artifaction Society to create magical armor, weapons and items for them such as potions or a stove that will light itself upon command.
