It has dozens of satellite branches throughout the University District, but the most valuable tomes and collections are kept here, supposedly safe from danger.The directions lead you to the depths of the library, into a large room easily twenty feet high. Massive wooden bookshelves rise up to the ceiling, and are crammed with hundreds of tomes. The room has a weight to it, a dusty scholarly feel that is almost oppressive.After you wind your way through the stacks, the back wall is lined with a series of stone doors, each bearing complicated locks. One of them has two librarians before it, a dwarf and a half-elf. Upon being presented with the letter of marque, the dwarf pushes the door open.Inside is a series of glass cases, each with three rows. On each row are books, but in far smaller amounts that the stacks outside. The books are carefully arranged, and they all look valuable. Lizard-scale covers, arcane symbols, one even looks to be composed of pages of flayed goblin skin...Although none of you are wizards, they each bear the hallmark of an arcanist's spellbook.The body laying on the floor makes a mockery of the reverence in which the books are held. A young man in student's robes lays face-first on the stone floor just a few feet inside the room. Blood has pooled (and then dried) under him.</blockquote>
