The Malachite Archives are located in a grand manse in the northwestern reaches of Yu-Shan in a sprawling neighborhood of ancient buildings at the center of a quiet and gloomy wood. The archives are notable not as a repository of hidden knowledge—the Forbidding Manse of Ivy has a thousand times more secrets within its archives—nor as a repository for written knowledge on health, nature or any other subject—the files of the various Bureaus of Heaven are unmatched in those fields. No, what makes the Malachite Archives special is not the breadth of knowledge, but the insight that they grant. For the Malachite Archives are the Maiden of Secrets personal library. Books thought lost to the whole of Creation and Yu-Shan are stored here, with the Maidens personal notes in the margins. Copies of books of sorcery thought lost in the Usurpation, biographies of First Age Solar despots burned in the Usurpation, and histories of key events in Creations history lie within the walls of the Malachite Archives, hand-picked by the Maiden of Secrets.
