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 80. 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 small volume on the table in front of you.
You note the spine bears the word 'Imaeris' scribed in earth-colored grey ink.

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.
