The Dark Librarians study, catalog, and protect the knowledge of the Monster Rangers. They are the arcane repositories of legends, stories, information, and even Formulae. Some feel that they are miserly in sharing their information, but knowledge is power, and power should be restrained, studied and understood.
Most of the Dark Librarians live and work in the vaults below the Black Acre Lodge, though individuals can often be found in the field on assignment with particular Barrows.
Relic Guardians are the field officers of the Librarians; their role is to go out and discover Obscurian antiquities and bring them back for analysis and cataloging.
Dark Librarians are admired by Skull Rangers, but most Psychic Rangers don’t trust them.
Motto: “You are what you know”.
