Home to the vaunted [[Bibliothèque de Korranberg]], which is more than a library, but perhaps the greatest collection of knowledge on the world of [[Eberron]] and among the best universities. =====History===== The city, like most of the major urban centers of [[Zilargo]], was built on the foundations of a former [[Hobgobelin]] city. The [[Bibliothèque de Korranberg]] was founded approximately 3000 years ago, as the first Marques du Dragon were manifesting, including the [[Marque de l'Écriture]] of [[Maison Siri]]. [[Loremaster]] [[Dorius Alyre du Korran]] is credited by gnomish historians and librarians as being the founder of the Library, wanting to erect a "fortress of knowledge" to unlock the mysteries of the world. =====Politics===== The center of gnomish knowledge is also one of its centers of political power. The [[Triumvirat]], that rules [[Zilargo]] from [[Port-de-Trolan]], was originally instituted as a governing body at the [[Bibliothèque de Korranberg]]. One of its representatives is still chosen from Korranberg. The city itself, like [[Port-de-Trolan]] and [[Zolanberg]], is administered by a Council of Nine, from which the city's triumvir is chosen. Several of the members of this Council are also members of the [[Aurum]]. =====Maisons Marquées Du Dragon===== All of the Houses have a presence in Korranberg. However, [[Maison Siri]], whose most ancient enclave is in the city is among the most important. [[Maison Bombardier]], represented by [[Bombardier Sud]], directed by Baron [[npc:merrix_d_bombardier]] in [[Sharn]] and [[Maison Kundarak]] also have important presences in the city. =====Notable Places===== *[[Voûte des Manuscrits]] *[[Maison Siri]] (ancestral citadel) *[[Chronique de Korranberg]] *[[Bibliothèque de Korranberg]] =====Train Fulgurant===== ^Destination ^Distance ^Temps de voyage ^1ere Classe (2 pa/mi) ^Standard (5 pc/mi) ^Entrepont (1 pc/mi) ^ |[[Zolanberg]] | 180 miles | 06h00 | 36 po | 90 pa | 180 pc | |[[Porte Arrière]] | 412 miles | 13h44 | 82.4 po | 206 pa | 412 pc | |[[Starilaskur]] | 633 miles | 21h06 | 126.6 po | 316.5 pa | 633 pc | |[[Wroat]] | 1196 miles | 39h52 | 239.2 po | 598 pa | 1196 pc | |[[Sharn]] | 1480 miles | 49h20 | 296 po | 740 pa | 1480 pc | *//Note: Temps de voyages include 1 hour lay over at each station, and are based on speed of 30 miles per hour.// *//Note: distances based on map at [[http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ebwe/20041206a]].// *//Note: times and distances may vary from charts found on pp. 20-21 of the [[Explorer's Handbook]].// \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ {{page>[template:zilargo]}} {{tag>["Géographie"]}} {{tag>["Villes"]}} {{tag>["Zilargo"]}}
