OOC INFO - FREGNAHÖLL BOOK SUBMISSIONS
As the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, Odin built his district in Asgard with the intent to curate and disseminate information. Fregnahöll is the very first library in the whole of Yggdrasil, which means it is the first collection of books to have ever existed in the world. Its current books are slim in number and incredibly general in nature, meant to serve as practical reference for the residents of the city. More specific topics and anything meant for leisure reading will have to be researched and/or written out by hand - which is what this post is for!
Odin's natives will accept submissions of any type to the library, so your character is welcome to contribute to the library's collection. Please note that there are no computers, typewriters, or other means of transcribing your text; it will have to be written out by hand, which will take time and effort. Consider this like a mini-player plot you can have running in the background.
For anyone interested in submitting something to Odin's library, please fill out the form below and respond to this post!

Length: how long is the book? this doesn't have to be specific, just let us know where it falls somewhere between a pamphlet and Proust.

Notes: is there anything else you'd like us to know about the book? is it written in a different language? does it have hidden passages? is there a handturkey drawn in it somewhere? etc.

Character Name: Ye Zun (
Book Title: 琅琊榜 | Nirvana in Fire
Author: Hai Yan
Length: 174 chapters
Content: (steals the blurb for this)
The East River Alliance is the world’s biggest clan. Its chief, Mei Changsu, arrived at the royal capital Jinling under the alias of Su Zhe. He brought with him storms of disturbances and fogs of mysteries.
A noble young master with dual identities, a Crown Prince and Prince Yu battling for the crown, the empire’s greatest warrior with the Royal Guards in his grasp, a beautiful princess who commands over the border’s cavalry…
Amongst these distinguished and powerful people, how did the inconspicuous Su Zhe become the heart of everything?
Could the hand behind the scenes of the whirlwind be the remnants of a previous storm?
Is he the young general who pursues enemies in snowy nights, or the shadowy tactician with a sickly body who won’t see old age?
He returns to the old place and reunites with old friends. He plots and schemes. What is he trying to achieve?
This is a story of dark conspiracies and brotherly bonds. Before this story reaches its end, perhaps you can change its course…
Notes:
It will take Ye Zun a while to copy this out, like two three months. It will also feature an image-filled character map, a fold-out map of the world, and a little index to help with Ye Old Chinese Titles.
Also for references is anyone is ever interested in looking this up: link to the webnovel translation site, and link to the YT playlist for the live action drama.
