Legend
Illiam nods after the translated introductions and turns to draw back one of the curtains revealing an area with a partially filled book case bearing black glowing runes. There is a brazier with incense burning and dried herbs hang from the ceiling while a ladder leads down into a hole in the ground, apparently leading to tunnels. Tefan beckons you to enter, though he looks nervous and starts to sweat as Illiam opens the book case and reaches in a hand to draw out three books.

The books are large tomes, each bearing a number of symbols on the spines and covers. Each bears a black eight pointed star symbol, a bunch of runes on the front, and an individual marking. One is a red book with what looks like a demonic minotaur head on an angular almost axelike rune. One is white with a crow skull and wings over a slender eight pointed star, three points up, five down. The third is blue, its mark is a smooth hairless face over a square with lines extending from the cardinal points ending in cresents.
Illiam starts speaking and Tefan translates.
"When Midok abandoned the Tower he stole a book from this bookshelf. Called _The Hungry Earth_ it is a green tome and bears an eight pointed star similar to the ones on these. It also bears a series of three interlocking circles. It is important that you recover this book." Tefan looks a little surprised at the next statement, causing Illiam to scowl and gesture at Tefan to get on with it "Uncle Illiam says if you bring it back he will grant you two extra healing potions in addition to the payment for killing Midok and the rest. However you are not to open it or look at its contents." He finishes quickly.
