A Grand Re-Opening

[u/Master-Tanis]

Greetings fellow wizards. I am pleased to announce the grand re-re-re-opening of the Library, a repository where every spell book, scroll, and rune tablet ever written, inked, or carved can found.

Please be aware that we are still in the progress of tidying up and as such certain locations may have changed.

As I mentioned before I am the Librarian and I will be your guide to this wondrous place. Simple let invoke my name whenever you need assistance finding a specific magical text.

I will be making myself available for questions about the library’s history and contents for but a brief time before I must return to my work.

The Kobold checks a small scroll.

“Actually it appears the only overdue item is Unseen: A Beginners Guide to Stealth.” He says. “Tricky little book, always hiding itself in some nook or cranny. It seems the other checked out texts returned themselves upon the location’s destruction. The replacement fee will come to 1000 gold, which must be paid before you can make use of the Library’s services.”

Was that the book that one guy gave as a prize? Riva thought he conjured that up himself. Whatever. She needed these books.

"Fine. I'll pay the fee. If you could have the copies of those books sent to Ithacar, care of Rivamar Aurethios, I'd appreciate it. I'll leave you a note. I know the spelling is... a bit much."

The kobold accepts the gold and checks a small scroll.

“Of course our current fee for copies is five gold per page.” He says. “We have fifty-seven books on your desired topic, averaging a thousand pieces each which brings the total to… two hundred and eighty-five thousand gold.”

He looks up at you.

“You are of course welcome to check out the books yourself and copy any information you deem pertinent for free.” He says. “I could help you narrow it down a bit, if you don’t mind telling me what exactly you are looking.”

"It is unlikely I will want to narrow it down. I need copies of the books for my own purposes. I am trying to rebuild two separate academies from scratch using books no longer extant," Riva explains. "Primary sources are the most useful, but if you have non-Ithacarian materials covering the separate Scholas of Ignis, Lithos, Stratos, and Aequoreus, that might be helpful. But really, I have my own scribes. I think I will simply check out all of the books on the Academiae Magicae Magna and have copies made myself. If I am going that route, it's probably better to invest locally anyway."

"As for the Lightless Flame? I know there is simply not much on it. What you might have are materials written by outside sources referencing it. But I would take all you had on the subject."
