Ansalon - The DragonLance RPG MUD - The Library of Palanthas

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 metal bound tome to an Aesthetic standing by you. You note the spine bears the word 'Aurelis' scribed in brilliant maroon ink. As you glance down at the page you read...

From the pages of Aurelis's book...

His eyes shone a cold and harsh blue, a dark blue. He had been taught by his father, at a young age, the distinct line that existed between right and wrong, good and evil. There was no gray area. He had been trained to take a rough blow and to dish one out. Physical pain did not bother him. The times he felt pain came only when good people suffered at the hands of the malignant. Raised in the city of Caergoth, his father played the biggest role in his life. The man had been a squire in the Knights of Solamnia but had dreamed of so much more. He lived those dreams through his son, whom he had conditioned from birth to become a Knight of Solamnia. His hopes came to fruition as he sent his boy on a ship to Palanthas. Failure was not an option. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

He states simply 'You might start with that one... Or ...', he continues,
