The Great Library of Palanthas

An Aesthetic shows you to a small reading room.

Stories of Ansalon from the view of Iris.

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 journal on the table in front of you.
You note the spine bears the word 'Iris' scribed in vibrant purple ink.

If you
can keep your head when all about you, Are losing theirs
and
blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men
doubt you, But
make allowance for their doubting too; If you can
wait and not be tired by
waiting, Or being lied about, not deal
in lies, Or being hated, not give way
to hating, And yet not look
too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream -- and not make
dreams your master, If you can think -- and
not make thoughts
your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And
treat
those two imposters just the same, If you can bear to hear the
truth
you've spoken, Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the
things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and
build 'em up with
worn-out tools, 

If you can make one heap of
all your winnings, And risk it on one turn of
pitch-and-toss, And
lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never
breathe a
word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve
and
sinew, To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so
hold on when
there is nothing in you, Except the Will which says
to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your
virtue, Or walk with kings -- nor
lose the common touch, If
neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If
all men count
with you, but none too much; If you can fill the
unforgiving
minute, With sixty seconds' worth of distance run --
Yours is the Earth and
everything that's in it, And -- which is
more -- you'll be a Man, my son!
