The Library of Serenity

Miscellaneous

The party arrives in The Library of Serenity and discovers an interesting creature.

The trident transports the party to a cold cliffs edge. The cliff goes in both directions and connects on the other side. It drops down, the bottom nowhere in sight, as well as rising up disappearing into clouds. The party crosses a crumbling stone bridge as snow and cold wind whip all around them and approach a low castle like structure.

Inside, the sound of the wind and snow cannot be heard. The party stands in a library, surrounded by shelves stuffed with books. Books are scattered all over the floor and on tables. After some investigation they discover The Librarian. A strange creature, unknown to them. It speaks with them, curious as to their intentions. It tells them that The Library of Serenity is filled with books that tell all of Ovenica's past. Thousands upon thousands of books detailing minute details of nearly every event in Ovenica, at least as far as the party can confirm.

They tell The Librarian what they're looking for and it helps them find the right book. Though they don't learn much, they do learn that bringing the three Canticles together would give a brief moment where they could all be destroyed, though they are not excited about the prospect of doing that.

When they got what they came for and begin looking for a way out The Librarian stops them, requesting that they stay forever. The party refuses and The Librarian becomes enraged, attacking them with so much positive energy that their bodies begin to tear under the strain. Minor mutations are left over in each party member granting them a unique ability, and finally they manage to destroy The Librarian...

Collecting themselves, they learn that The Librarian was created by Bem and he left a kill switch for the Library in case it was ever needed. The party collects several books and flips the switch. They are shunted out of the demi-plane and back into Ovenica near Sage's hometown of Ossetia. And they see that it is burning.
