The Grand Aural Library

I came up with this interesting (at least I think) idea for a location and concept in Aethtea:

In the great city of Archester in the Royal Vale, there is a library unlike any other. Instead of being filled with room after room and shelf after shelf of books, The Grand Aural Library has only one room, no shelves and no books. This one room is a huge, cavernous chamber, painted with ancient pictures that some say are the remains of a long dead language, others say it is merely for decoration. Within the walls, there is a wealth of knowledge within The Grand Aural Library that cannot be seen by a human eye. The knowledge is made accessible purely by listening. If one can train the mind, using Magick, to become as accurate as the finest archer, one can tune into the individual thoughts, speeches and utterances stored here from all across time.

There is no story in my mind as of yet that this could fit into, but I thought it was worth sharing.
