The Great Library of Palanthas

An Aesthetic shows you to a small reading room.

Stories of Ansalon from the view of Imaeris.

A little gully dwarf runs by and says 'Wordwrap is at 65. You change? Off 65 80.'
The gully continues 'Eyes hurt? Turn Color OFF!! (regular story dates)

Astinus says 'Enter the main library here to view only the author list.'
Astinus gently places a giant book on the table in front of you.
You note the spine bears the word 'Imaeris' scribed in unearthly maroon ink.

Flames

Embers waltz, bow and exit. Unnatural flames
consume wood and stone
alike. Grey and black plumes choke the
room. Debris slide off a prone figure
cloaked in ash. Scent of
burnt cloth and flesh lingers in the air, swallowed
by smoke. 

A
coughing fit emerges from the figure. Slowly she lifts herself
up. Her
back is bare. Charred flesh pulses and glows like fresh
coals. Every pulse
wracks the wounded body with throbbing pain.
The arms weren't left
unscathed. Blood drips from some wound on
her face, trickles down
expressionless features, collects and
separates from the chin and drops
silently into the small red
puddle on the floor.

Alchemical equipment lay strewn amid the
burning wreckage. Pieces of
calcinators, alembics and retorts are
everywhere, some still containing and
processing ingredients.
Everything else burned-no papers, scrolls, books,
not even a
quill. Intense light reflect hot colors in dark
pupils,
imprinting a crimson shade upon them. These pupils hide
once, twice, then
scan the room only to follow the smoke as it
swirls and dances upward. It
twists and spirals past the
crumbling rafters into a black sphere in the
sky. Color can't
define the form because it is the absence of all. Still,
the dark
shape is reflected in them. And she smiles.
