Noteworthiness

Ambrose Shajara was the Vizier of the House of Shajara, at the heyday of noble house's power and influence. His wealth is attributed to inheritance, although it is not mentioned who he inherited it from, and the various longterm investments that he made over his elven lifespan. Ambrose is described as taking advantage of how long elves live to enjoy the benefits of these extended term investments while he was still alive where shorter lived species would not have been able to do the same.
The volume mentions his two wives, with a note that, although the official documentation of the Second Court does not list a name for his first wife, some other sources say that Ambrose's first wife was named Alassë. His second wife, Houri Shajara, is mentioned as being included in the official records.

History

Goldday, Thiefmoon, 1312
Subvizier Cassiopeia Stargazer-Greenskin gifted a copy of this set of encyclopedias to Subvizier Victor Dargent, with the hopes of fostering a better relationship with House Dargent. Published that year, Cassiopeia got Victor the encyclopedias before he had the chance to get a set for himself.
Needleday, Sailormoon, 1313
Victor's younger brother, Katib Hugo Dargent "borrowed" the encyclopedias from his brother's room and read them while he was waiting for his pet Bunbun, Connie Furr, to return from the Baharat Menagerie, where she was collecting his altered armour from Martini.
