The Great Library of Palanthas
An Aesthetic shows you to a small reading room.
Stories of Ansalon from the view of Delve.
A little gully dwarf runs by and says 'Wordwrap Off 65 80.'
The gully continues 'Want color back? Turn Color Back ON!!
Astinus says 'Enter the main library here to view only the author list.'
Astinus gently places a heavy leather-bound book on the table in front of you.
You note the spine bears the word 'Delve' scribed in dull orange ink.
Author: Delve Date Fri Dec 14 11:47:00 2001 Subject Sargonnas's Tablet Sargonnas's Tablet Journals Entry #1 My acolyte returned with his reports from Skull Knight Wulfgar, and his recent success in New OfCol. The information I received was particularly mundane although I was pleased to learn he wiped out the Solamnics, despite great losses. The area is good for recruiting and it will not be long befor Wulfgar is able to amass new troops to take place of ones lost. One interesting artifact did arrive in my acolytes possession. The object is a black slate rock about 8 inches in diameter. The edges are smooth and there is an as of late, unknown language etched into the plate. The writing is inlaid with a red dye, perhaps blood. I will begin studies on the object this evening after I have met with Lord Danvighar for our War Council. Entry #2 I found an old translation prayer in one of my books from days long past. After I gathered some other miscellaneous odds and ends I needed for my study on the object, I used the prayer to interpret the writing on the slate. The writing originates from the isle of Mithas and seems to be an old dialect of the Minotaurian tongue. It tells of a story of a battle on Mithas long ago between two wealthy minotaur land owners. Due to wear on the artifact the complete story is not legible, but I have sent my student Kildas to learn more of the tale. Entry #3 After many months of battle we were fortunate enough to take the High Clerist Tower today. I've moved my quarters from a tent at the encampment into the library on the 11th floor of the Tower. It's much more comfortable here and the distance from the troops allows me peace of mind. After completing my research of the spells on the tablet this evening, I was able to unlock the key to the spells. Performing the rituals required to activate the them greatly drained me and I find myself struggling to stay awake. Anyhow, Sargonnas's tablet has offered us an upper hand, maybe we will even be able to take back Palanthas. I sleep tonight with renewed hope for our conquest.
