The Great Library of Ram was founded as a center for for Targossian scholarship in Daedalan of 647. Its cruciform floor plan consists 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 are sometimes whispered of restricted chambers of the library holding forbidden knowledge, but these are unconfirmed and generally ignored by the denizens of the library.

Marhisa, Priestess of Virtue sells commemorative votives within these vaulted halls, and a few acolytes of the Bloodsworn Gods can be found in earnest study nearby. Gardens behind the library host the Monument of the Fallen, a monolith which memorializes 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 bob along the course of the Silverveil River to this day.
