The organization of the Guild of Librarians' supposedly impartial ultimate goal is to "acquire all knowledge or things both physical, intellectual, and spiritual and to preserve this knowledge for the benefit of future generations". To accomplish this goal the great library has constructed a complex network of "gatherers", who are specially trained persons whose sole purpose is to gather and record information from wars, to fashion to philosophy to new methods of cooking. These gatherers have spread throughout the known world. The great library also controls all trade to and from R'unor and the outside world.
