Good point.  Easier to read.

Though I'll probably use the Iron Bookshelf.

Iron Bookend like the iron curtain?

Something with "Bloc" in it... *shrug*

Shushnia and Hushnia is much better.

Wow, Fish, we posted almost exactly the same thing at exactly the same moment.  How's that for weird?

Further evidence that Fish and CtrlZed aren't the same person.

Joshua and company aren't thrilled with Hushnia.  It is better, however.

Lately, I've just been thinking of calling it 'Inner Libraria.'  That way, there could be an Outer Libraria too--a kingdom filled with people who know about the Free Kingdoms, and are fighting against them.

You mean that the worlds that are under Librarian control would be Inner Libraria, and the Free Worlds would be called Outer Libraria by the Librarians, but the Free Worlds by themselves? I think that would work--make the Outer Libraria be a secondary name, therefore less confusing.
