SUBJECT: Of Moths and Books
PARTICIPANTS: Myrobalan Shivana & Newt Scamander
DATE FILED: Cloudreach
STATUS: Main Project Complete but with ongoing studying of the moths in question.
SUMMARY: Myr and Newt investigate after moths fly out of a new crate of books meant for the Inquisition. Luckily, only one book was lost to damages, but the moths themselves proved just as interesting on their own, once Myr and Newt managed to contain them.

REPORT:
Provost Thranduil,

Regarding the moths from the crate of books, we bear good news: only one book out of the crate suffered for them. We managed to secure the rest and move them out of harm’s way.
However, the moths themselves proved an interesting story.

Upon closer study that saw us examine the moths particularly closely (and whereupon they thereby attached themselves to us, some to Myr’s clothes, and some to my face), it seems that they are attracted to magic. Interestingly, they appear to be Fade-touched, which explains their odd dietary habits.

After several attempts, including letting them outside, we finally managed to contain them in barrels with holes for air. We would like to further study them as part of this project; we plan on checking in on them at least once a day, and plan on providing food for them as well.

Please find enclosed with this report notes, observations, and some examples of moth-damaged book pages and clothing to give you an idea of what these moths are capable of. We do not believe them dangerous or harmful but would appreciate the opportunity to study them more in depth, as they are quite fascinating creatures.
