The hidden embassy
The texts are ancient; some written when the Fourth was at its height, others from the comfort of Hell in the aftermath. You must work out what is gone, so that you can focus on what remains, not search for that which is lost.
[see below]Description summary:
The documents you find varies on your 
Delving Destination.
| Destination | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 (West) | The Khatun's Gardens, […] the secret stair that allowed access […] to the hidden suite of its ministers remains intact[…] […] you find a storehouse of prophecies and predictions[…] Each was revealed at dates calculated to garner the maximum political advantage. |
| 2 (East) | The Mocking Tree still stands at the Embassy's […] heart, its many twisted branches gleaming in untarnished brass. From each hangs a different leaf – each a page from the vaults of Hell's archives, charting the forgotten cosmologies of the Fourth City. |

Failure
Misremembrance
Description summary:
The description varies with your Delving Destination
| Destination | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 (West) | Had the scholar entirely failed to take into account the damage the Embassy received in the Fall? [...]. They don't even mention the abyss [...] beneath the hanging tombs. You note the scholar's origin: Benthic. Perhaps the misdirection was intentional. |
| 2 (East) | This scholar was intimately familiar with the Embassy. They knew the hanging gardens when they bloomed, not as they are now [...]. The scholar did not see the Hall of Khans in its ruin [...]. Using the outdated text as a guide is actively hazardous [...]. |
