The Library

Page history last edited by Mark 9 years, 10 months ago

The library of the Scions of Nathas is comprised of whatever books were quickly to hand during the evacuation, along with a few select tomes handpicked by Magda the Wise. Added to this are a number of books recovered from the ruins that the PCs have explored, although for the moment these all remain untranslated.

Currently the library resides in a number of crates and chests, organised by their language and topic. These crates and chests are stored in the tower in the centre of Dragmos.

Did we finalise the house rules for dwarven 'audiobooks' that are read out to someone wearing Wyndham's dwarven language ring? Was it -1 or -1 to the quality. There are a couple of books that'd be useful for Wyndham to 'listen' to.

Yup, quality is -1. You'll need a person with Dwarven 5 and the ability to read Dwarven to read it for you. You can also only read Tractatus and Summae this way, not lab texts.

You may have to employ a dwarf for a bit, though.... I don't think anyone speaks dwarven at 5 at the moment...?

Splendid! Thank you.

I shall borrow a dwarf at some point. :)

I see our scholars and scribes have been busy...

Don't we have the lab notes from the cliffside metal snake lab?

Possibly! Ollie?

This page was getting unwieldy and tricky to edit so I've divided it up into three pages, one for Nassian Texts, one for Dwarven and one for Elven.

Can we highlight anything new for a while after it's received, or will it just take pride of place at the bottom?
Also... what about those metal snake lab texts?
