Message: <blockquote data-quote="karlindel" data-source="post: 5726230" data-attributes="member: 27103">Here are a few ideas which are not all mutually exclusive:The note could contain information on the books' original locations, along with some research on where they have travelled since (so it's a quest to try to find the books, some of which will require a bit of travelling).The dates the books were written (which can only be obtained from inside the books themselves) correspond to movable star charts on the front door of the library.Each book has a star chart as one of its illustrations, each chart having one star "out of place" based on the date it is meant to depict.  In actuality, if the out of place stars are considered to be in the appropriate place, they show the location of the library's entrance (you need to find a location where the stars align properly).  The star charts might also be the key to opening the door, locating them all properly on the ground to open the gate to the library.In addition to the clues, each book was created from the tanned skin of a different far realms creature, and each functions as a key to one room of the library.  This opens up the possibility of someone else having one of the books the party couldn't find, or even stealing one from them.The foreword of each book has a coded message containing the location at which a Legend Lore ritual can be performed to learn how to get past one of the eternal library's guardians.The eternal library was sealed off for a reason.  The books actually contain the soul/power of a far realm creature that was seeking the library's power, but could not find a way in.  It created the books as something like a phylactery in order to find someone who could make it past the obstacles to get it to the library.The books are actually faerie tales, each of which gives a general idea of what the next step is to enter the library (for example, something like Jack and the beanstalk would indicate a need to get into the sky and battle a storm giant, Hansel and Gretel would indicate a maze you could easily get lost in with a powerful witch or the like).</blockquote>
