Luccini

Luccini is a primarily elven city-state on the Gulluvian Isle. Across the Luccan channel lies the opposing city-state of Foghaven. Luccini is the oldest currently known city in Ddera. This Elven city houses ancient knowledge passed down through many magisters, chronicling the Luccinin Elvish rises and falls through the ages of many empires of the mainland Ddera.

The People of Luccini
The primary race of Luccini is high elves. The Elves here are somewhat xenophobic about races that do not come from Luccini. They consider the other people of the world to be temporal, passing, and presumptuous about their role in in the world.

The Libraries of Luccini
One of the difficulties of scholarly life in Luccini is the organization of all of the tomes of scholarly knowledge that exist there. The city's stores are absolutely replete with such tomes on every imaginable topic. Collected from the first days of Luccini, and some of the earliest memories of when the high elves of the region tamed the forests and began making cities of their own. The problem, however, is that nearly all of this knowledge is the personal property of one ancient familial house or another. Books, their copies, and the knowledge within are traded with the utmost ascendancy of importance within Luccini and across the channel to Foghaven. These familial houses often keep even their mundane libraries guarded and warded nearly with the same potency as their vaults of coin and gem. Getting a chance to even study within some of these libraries for a day is a task that often requires favour and getting into good standing with the noble house in question. This is a stark contrast to the public library of Foghaven, which, while certainly not complete with all forms of knowledge, has an admirable baseline standard for the budding scholar. In Luccini, it is common that even the most minor of noble houses will own several tomes that exist in only one known copy in that library alone.
