	Unfortunately, there is a negative aspect to a state controlled repository of knowledge, which is that Library Aies has suffered from censorship. While many relics that might have been preserved were lost over time, it was still quite clear when malicious destruction of records had taken place, as there would be conspicuous absences in the middle of otherwise preserved materials. Most famously, "The Child Argent" [[Lahrair]] was essentially on the throne in name only, the precursor of the [[Council of Thrones]] ruling in regency. Her family had met untimely deaths, forcing her to assume the throne as a young child, for no clearly identifiable reason. The records from this time period have been almost completely purged. Other conflicts of interest are possible, in principle, such as perverse incentives for stealing ideas or falsely claiming credit. Loremasters and Artificers have privileged access to "re-write history," so to speak, in their own favor.
