I managed to piece together that the grayfolk are a race of people that live underground, often never seeing the light of day. They seem to be faen-sized (Gomaer, the author of a book I read and a faen, makes several references to them as 'kin' in the broadest sense), with a keen knowledge of stone, mining, and fungi. Their skins are ashen-gray, and they can see in the dark as easily as the light. They also apparently have many natural enemies, from fierce and hungry predators to other intelligent races with even more vague descriptions such as "darkfolk" and "stonefolk." It appears the grayfolk were reluctant to speak to the authors I read, though it appeared that one of them either bribed or forced help from them most of the time, which explains the lack of information."Flipping some more Phaern turns back the start of his investigation so that he can unravel it all for the assembled vision-companions.  He takes another deep gulp of his ale before continuing."At first I began looking for the phrase the Bones of the Earth.  What I found was a description of a place called the Spine of the World, as I mentioned before.  Here is the relevant information that I found on it. The book I found describes the place as an enormous chamber filled with staggeringly huge rock columns of every type of rock ever known. Secaras, the author, describes the place as being particularly beneficial for magic dealing with the earth, even healing magic of the Green. It also says that it saw many unusual phenomona in the chamber, and thought that perhaps very powerful beings either had been there or even continued to live there. There was even a picture.  I have not done it justice with my rendering here, but it was THE chamber that we saw in the vision."Pausing again for a moment to drink some more of his ale, Phaern continues."Though the directions the book gave were annoyingly vague, a few things were clear. Apparently one can begin underground at almost any place to start out going there. Three clear landmarks that indicate that one is on the right path are 'The Lair of the Shadow Serpant,' the 'Twilight Chamber,' and 'The Sunless City of Grayfolk.' It was those three things that I searched for next."Phaern stops again and drinks more of his ale.  A little excited at the prospect of sharing all this information he has not been paying attention to how much he has drank.  He looks up at the assembled group taking more stock of them.  Looking around at Atlas, Darthallys, Kelthet, Wil, and the other spryte, he realises that the other Sibeccai has been introduced and indeed was not a part of the vision. He looks questioningly at his friend Darthallys.</blockquote>
