The Great Library of Ram was founded as a center for for Targossian scholarship in Daedalan of 647. Its cruciform floor plan consisted of four circular tholoi, the bookshelves of each tholos protecting books dedicated to the following areas of study: Philosophy and Theology, Politics and Geography, Arts and Culture, and Science and Research. Rumours were sometimes whispered of restricted chambers of the library holding forbidden knowledge, but these were unconfirmed and generally ignored by the denizens of the library.

Marhisa, Priestess of Virtue sold commemorative votives within vaulted halls, and a few acolytes of the Bloodsworn Gods could be found in earnest study nearby. Gardens behind the library hosted the Monument of the Fallen, a monolith which memorialised the dead heroes of the East. It was from here that floating funereal lanterns were released by the Harbingers of Redemption, the twinkling lights visible from the bridges of Targossas as they bobbed along the course of the Silverveil River.

The library vanished in the mnemonic cataclysm which claimed the rest of the Targossian isles following the War of Woe.
