Library

Fourteenth day of Solae, 1485
 
Somehow I managed to get some decent rest last night… probably because of Grimaldus if I’m being perfectly honest with myself. All too often, my memories encroach on nights when I’m alone - which has been most of the time. It’s interesting how another person’s presence can keep nightmares at bay, for that is inevitably the path that my memories will take me…
 
I cannot get the axiomyte’s revelations out of my mind, even now. I simply cannot imagine Filandrel doing such a thing… I know he lied to me, and he is very likely the Pale Master that everyone talks about… but this? Even if everything he ever told me is a lie, I still cannot see him sacrificing three thousand of our people… I just can’t…
 
Grimaldus left in the morning with Inira. I think he is off to track down some bandits or something. Dekar is still not speaking to me. I think I must have offended him more than I thought last night…
 
Secilia was going to one of the libraries, apparently it is one called the Library of the Negated Word. When we arrived, it became obvious that the name is a play on words - the entire facility is under the effect of a silencing spell. Inira and Secilia went off perusing the shelves for their forbidden knowledge, and Meriwald flew off with Rowan. I hoped they wouldn’t get into too much trouble, but I was eager for the possibility of finding new conjuration spells, so I made my way to the shelves containing books on conjuration.
 
As I poured over the various books, I found myself thinking of Egig Ero Fa, and the allowance that I had when I was in Alcarin to cover the costs of materials for spell inscriptions… not that I want to go back to that time, necessarily, but now that I am here, I find myself wishing for the conveniences of not even considering the cost of adding spells into my book. Now I have to be far more selective than I was back then, and it is, frankly, a bit irritating in a way.
 
But, no matter, I managed to find some promising spells that I cannot wait to test out soon.
 
After rounding up Meriwald and Rowan, who had taken it upon themselves to frolic through the decorative fountains of the library, I left. I had gotten what I came for, and if I stayed, I would inevitably be too tempted by the rest of the spell knowledge the library holds… and my funds cannot support that at this point.
 
Later on, when we had all returned to the House of Earthly Delights, Dekar informed everyone that Hogar wishes to speak with us and has requested a meeting, immediately. Why didn’t he mention this sooner? I have no desire to go speak with the pompous gnome, but he must have a reason, and we should probably at least hear him out.
 
Tomorrow is the reenactment portion of the Circle of Power…
