SUBJECT: Gallows library mission books PARTICIPANTS: Waver Velvet; various respondents on crystal; direct assistance from the Medicine Seller and Kirk DATE FILED: 30 Justinian STATUS: Complete SUMMARY: Waver was assigned to track down the Gallows' library missing books on blood magic (both in favor and against) with an emphasis on the towers
REPORT: Upon request, I looked into the matter of missing books from the Gallows library. Due to subject nature (blood magic covering all perspectives thereof), the following assumptions were made: they had been hidden, they had been destroyed, or they had been stolen and sold over the years. Option 2 needed to be investigated.
Network provided a number of options, and towers or other like places were suggested as the best locations. Assistance came from a number of individuals, but the physical work came primarily via Kirk and the Medicine Seller.
Exploration located a primary stash of books in the Templar tower, hidden in a chest. Chest was broken to reveal contents. Missing books persisted, and an older inventory with handwriting regarding the missing titles was looked into.
Subsequent investigation lead group to the tower of the former First Enchanter. Multiple hours were spent investigating the space, books showed themselves after a number of stones in the wall were tested and one slid out, revealing missing titles.
Missing titles have been places on library shelves, but I would like to suggest a book cage or vault be installed for sensitive material storage.
