The Venore Libraries is a collection of libraries that are all found outside of (but closest to) the city of Venore. Books can be found lying around on the Plains of Havoc, in the Green Claw Swamp, in the Outlaw Camp, in the Dream Realm, and in the Ferngrims Gate area. Venore itself does not contain any libraries, but nevertheless at least one book can be found here.
