The Library of Palanthas

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 large tome to an Aesthetic standing by you. You note the spine bears the word 'Imaeris' scribed in burnt black ink. As you glance down at the page you read...

Grey and black plumes choke the room. Debris slide off a prone figure cloaked in ash. Scent of burnt cloth and flesh lingers in the air, swallowed by smoke. A coughing fit emerges from the figure. Slowly she lifts herself up. Her back is bare. Charred flesh pulses and glows like fresh coals. Every pulse wracks the wounded body with throbbing pain. The arms weren't left unscathed. Blood drips from some wound on her face, trickles down expressionless features, collects and separates from the chin and drops silently into the small red puddle on the floor. Alchemical equipment lay strewn amid the burning wreckage. Pieces of calcinators, alembics and retorts are everywhere, some still containing and processing ingredients. Everything else burned-no papers, scrolls, books, not even a quill. Intense light reflect hot colors in dark pupils, imprinting a crimson shade upon them. These pupils hide once, twice, then scan the room only to follow the smoke as it swirls and dances upward. It twists and spirals past the crumbling rafters into a black sphere in the sky. Color can't define the form because it is the absence of all. Still, the dark shape is reflected in them. And she smiles.
