Description summary:
The success description varies based on the 
Apocrypha Sought and who you are 
Wandering the Stacks with.
| Apocrypha | Description |
|---|---|
| 101 | The book is midnight blue, its pages water-damaged. […] it hurts to look at. As though it came from a place far from here, a parallel where the light is brighter and perhaps kinder. |
| 201 | The book is the size of a large folio […] it resists being opened. […] lists of names, categories, authors, dates; commentary from Special Constables and Ministry bureaucrats. But it's hard to keep the words in focus; the letters seem to jump and sway. |
| 202 | The book is bound in […] Living human skin – it's warm, and the hairs stand […] as you handle it. "A work of a Citadel-Archivist," says the Shepherd, not explaining whether he means an archivist that lives in a citadel or a citadel that is also an archivist. |
| 203 | The book has an unassuming blue cover. Some agent used in the binding makes the eyes water. It's much heavier than it looks. |
| 204 | FATE |
| 205 | The red leather is cracked, and smells of goat. The print is minuscule, the illuminations vivid and fierce. The whole book is barely larger than your palm. |
| Wandering the Stacks with: | Final Paragraph |
|---|---|
| The Last Duchess | "Let us find the reading room, then," says the Duchess. |
| Tatterdemalion Several Officers of your Crew | "Not here," Tatterdemalion points out. "The reading room." |
| The Lost Shepherd | The Lost Shepherd is already paging through his notes, looking for the best route to the reading room. |
| The Illuminated Shepherd | The Illuminated Shepherd is already paging through his notes, looking for the best route to the reading room. |
| The Clamorous Cartographer | FATE |
