The Grand Marble Portico of the Library of Palanthas

The Library of Palanthus stretches out before you. A series of ten wide marble steps lead up to a huge open marble portico, supported and sheltered by four large white columns. Ancient ivy, well tended, has grown up and around the columns and front face of the building. Three three-story wings can be seen, and two other buildings have been attached in recent times. To the south is the entrance, and to the north lies the street. You walk inside and are promptly lead to the office of Astinus.

Astinus Office

Dominating the center of this room is a massive birch desk. Legend claims this desk has supported the thousands of volumes of history Astinus has recorded. A large pot of ink, a container of sharpened quills, and a candelabra complete the desks decorations. Small windows line the room, allowing light to trickle in and gently illuminate the entire room. A comfortable couch rests against the west wall. Tapestries hang on the walls between the windows. Shelves line the walls, filled with tomes of the more recent records of heroes and villians upon the face of Krynn. The librarian notices you aren't reading anything... Astinus hands a thread-bare book bound in cloth to an Aesthetic standing by you. You note the spine bears the word 'Penumbra' scribed in glowing brown ink. As you glance down at the page you read...

It was like someone called to him from far, someone evil with intent most foul. Barryl knew instinctively death had called him in the night and that it was coming for him. Eyes wide he sat in bed beside his sleeping wife
He states simply 'You might start with that one... Or ...', he continues,
