The Compendium is an effort to collect and preserve the history of mortalkind. It is a city of records. Its caretakers, Edric Stone and Athryl Mithtanil, worked together to save the tomes and artifacts from the village of Thiil in the Northern Kingdoms and transplanted them to a mountain range nestled in the south central area of the new continent. With what wealth that was left from the long dead House Mithtanil, the Caretakers oversaw the creation of the new world's first home to the world's collective knowledge.
The physical body of the collection is housed in The Athenaeum, which is a pair of towers cut into the vale's mountainside. Inside the esteemed Athenaeum is a library housing over three hundred books, a repository for valuable and historical artifacts, a scriptorium for aspiring scribes, a cartography hall, an alchemy lab, and so much more.
Compendium exists as neutral and unaffiliated entity. Political ties are irrelevant within the Inner Vale, as far as the caretakers are concerned. It is open for any, and all, to make pilgrimages regardless of House or profession. It is only those that threaten the collection, or threaten Compendium itself that risk being turned away.

Far west of Mockingbay, over the rivers and through the tedious swamp rests a singular mountain range that claws its way up towards the sky. Sheer cliffs stand high above the surrounding trees, and any who are able to find a break in the dense forest can see the crags at a distance. The bulk of Compendium lies within the Inner Vale and is protected by a ring of these jagged rocks.
The mountain is enveloped by a dense jungle to the north and even farther west the trees thin out to the continent's vast desert. To the east is the murky swamp and yet farther south is the expansive plains. It is well within reach of a variety of flora and fauna, meaning that it is a perfect refuge for traveling adventurers and researchers.
(Note: The city and surrounding land within the border is based off of Romania. There is a high number of wolves, bears, lynxes, and various other dangerous game.)
Caring for Compendium is too much for one man alone. There is much needed and much to be done in order to see it run smoothly. Edric seeks out the greatest scholars, philosophers, astronomers, alchemists, healers, curators, and mages to fill the Athenaeum with. There are also needs for innkeepers, leatherworkers, bookbinders, artists, and many more.
