It is dominated by two large oaken--well worn--doors and overhead a small lamp in which burn everlit candles.Pausing a moment to cleanse his mind of any conceit against the brothers of his order, who serve here in Malta, a disdained post, Relsyn pauses a moment and gives the large door a gentle shove. The door does not open. He pushes harder and the door gives not a inch.Relsyn notices a small hand lettered sign on a wall of the alcove. On it written in four languages is "This library opens promptly a sunrise and closes promply at sunset."Relsyn notices that the sun has not yet quite set, and bangs the haft of his dagger soundly 4 times against the door.After several repeats of this, the door swings inward, opened by a young acolyte of about 12, a boy, thinks Relsyn who steps inside before the surprised boy can object. Relsyn enters a small chapel."I'm sorry sir, the library is closed."[Dioplomacy +9] "Acolyte, I am Relsyn Saffire, a member of your very order, see the symbol I bear. I have come on a very long trip from Antioch and before that from Arras, my bones are weary and my eyes blurred with fatigue. I wish to speak with the master librarian.""There is a Lorekeeper here, sir." replies the boy."Mores the better then my friend, perhaps he knows my mentor, Garret Bynerges. I only wish a few words.""All are at dinner, sir." the boy again replies."Again, Mores the better, a bit of bread or a hunk of bacon would do me well too. Off you go."The boy starts away, then turns, "What did you say your name was?""Relsyn Saffire, of Antioch."Relsyn looks around the small but well apointed chapel. Several tapestries hang on it grey stone walls and the clear translucent glass in the tall thin windows still shows glimpses of light. Off to his left, where the acolyte went, is a single wooden door. To his right is a set of double doors that Relsyn assumes goes to the library facilities. Directly ahead a stone altar dedicated to St Macedone stands adorned with Macedones symbol--The book and the shield, and his motto--"The Truth is the shield of the faithful. Relsyn steps to altar, still smoking a slight sweet incense, and begins to pray.</blockquote>
