he City of Brennan's Keep is a large city north of Goranth. Breenans Keep joined Goranth to create the Kingdom of Goranth not long after Goranth defeated the city-state called Breakaway.
Brennan's Keep is the centre of knowledge for the surrounding areas. Caesar Brennan created the Great Library and supported the creation of its significant centres of learning.
Caesar Brennan's vision was not limited to the Great Library. He granted a vast expanse of land and ongoing grants to build this Great Library. Surrounding this bastion of knowledge are the Houses of the Magi, each dedicated to a different type of magic. These houses, resilient and ever-expanding, later transformed into various artificing and engineering manufactories, applying the library's discoveries into real-world marvels.
The guilds, born out of the applied manufactories, became the bedrock of resistance during the guild wars, fiercely opposing the dominance of the Merchant Guild. Even after centuries, remnants of the merchants persist, and their relentless efforts to resurrect the primacy of the Merchants Guild are a testament to the enduring struggle.
Fearing the Mages overshadowed the pursuit of knowledge, the temples started funding scholarly pursuits. Rather than improving by applying knowledge, the temples' primary interest was in the mind and how to better mankind itself. These pursuits had a strong correlation with history.
The greatest of these temples was the Temple of Odin, the All-Father. While as grand as the library, The Temple of Odin is a significant building within Brennan's Keep.
