As Luen Nore's most mysterious region, the Emerald Book Gallery lay north of the Academy District. Its territory encompassed the entire Emerald Mountains, and because its main structure was a vast, magnificent, unbroken gallery built along the mountain ridge, it earned its name.
As one of Luen Nore's landmark buildings, all manner of rumors about the Emerald Book Gallery circulated among the public. For example, some said it contained every book that had ever existed throughout the Kingdom's history; others claimed that "Book Gallery" was merely a cover, and that this was actually an evil research base gathering every sort of forbidden study; still others said the gallery was a signal center for communicating with aliens, and that most of the Research Institute's work involved extraterrestrial technology...
Since no one could personally visit the gallery to verify whether those rumors were true, some of them grew ever more outrageous through repeated retelling. What began as nine truths and one lie became nine lies and one truth, until it finally turned into ten lies without a single truth. The public gradually drowned in information they could no longer distinguish as real or false, entertaining themselves to death under the principle that "if no one debunks it, it must be true," creating even more rumors that should never have survived scrutiny.
