The Library

Seren is slightly surprised to feel how alert the he is. It 'greets' her and upon learning of her desire to know about the druid it shares several images of the druid sitting and leaning against the tree reading. But the tree isn't aware of anything more that might be used to open our activate the pedestal. It suggest talking with the druid or librarian. Both are known to still be about though they don't visit often anymore.

Dean is all to willing to discuss anything with your. Among the topics discussed is access to the library. To activate the portals you will need an citizens badge assigned to you or a servants pass. Dean does not have one he can share at this time but is sure the expedition will likely find some and Dean can help atune them to the city transport matrix. This will allow you or other member of the expedition to travel quicker between the various civic transport nodes once you find each of them.

Seren looks over the book and Dean offers what lore he has if asked.

He notes the crazed man and offers to take him out of the library saying that he knew the man years ago. A research scholar that found the city before Danoll and the others lead the expedition here. He had arrived with a team of adventurers and consulted Dean then vanished. Dean is a bit surprised to see the man alive but offers that he may be the best for getting information from him, and it might be nice to have a living person in the house again. But you are welcome to take the man back to the base if you wish.

After talking and looking around the library, leaving the maintenance room alone for now, you return with Dean to his house after the apparition informs you that the library closes at sunset and floats staring at you till you leave. The traxport from the library to Deans house saves you some trouble and you make it back to the base without any trouble in the swamp. Resting the night on a soft bed and having a couple of good meals you feel much refreshed.

Continuing from Westward Expansion

Visiting the great library of Paophos
The walls are well over 30 feet high and several hundred feet long. The tops of the wall have odd floating spheres attacked by thin wires floating and bobbing in the breeze. Each wall has a two sets of double doors spaced to divide the wall in thirds. Around the Remnant, you see occasional ruble form destroyed structures Only the Remnant appear to have weathered the ravages of the Breaking and time since then.

From the north west gate you look inside and see an open area around a single large building that is in even better condition than the wall that surround it. The surrounding courtyard is of paved stones set tight without mortar. The building is made of stone with windows on the top of the first floor and filling much of the second floor. On a large plaque over the main doors directly across from you you read Library of Paphos in large bold lettering. The door is of Bronze and like the walls is decorated with mural like etchings and carvings. The area is quiet, clean, and empty.

Crossing to the courtyard to the doors which respond at the lightest touch. With a click and slight whoosh of air the doors open revealing a brightly lit interior. Inside the doors is a large marble floored entry with collums surround the high ceiling. Light enters from raised windows showing the bare room to be free of dust or any damage. At the far end of the 30 foot room is another doorway with small rooms or large alcoves set to either side.

Looking in you hear faint sounds of distant movement and soft voices echoing through the building interior
