Astinus' Office

Dominating the center of this room is a massive birch desk. Legend claims this desk has supported the thousands of volumes of history Astinus has recorded. A large pot of ink, a container of sharpened quills, and a candelabra complete the desks decorations. Small windows line the room, allowing light to trickle in and gently illuminate the entire room. A comfortable couch rests against the west wall. Tapestries hang on the walls between the windows. Shelves line the walls, filled with tomes of the more recent records of heroes and villians upon the face of Krynn.

The librarian notices you aren't reading anything... Astinus hands a tattered paperback to an Aesthetic standing by you. You note the spine bears the word 'Clide' scribed in green ink. As you glance down at the page you read..

As I was walking down the streets of palanthas i saw a person i knew from
my child hood. I hadent seen him for a while so i whent to talk to him. As i
came near he saw me and started to chant odd words that i couldent
understand. I saw a thin bolt of Ice flie at me which i blocked with my
shield. He ran at me with a mace so i hit him with my shield then knocked
him out with my mace. I moved him out of the way of people coming by and
healed the bump on his head so he would wake in a little then i left. I
walked to the palace woundering why he attacked me.
