Description summary:
The description varies based on your level of 
Lead: Ancient Languages.
| Lead: Languages | Description |
|---|---|

Calumny. An Infuriating Adjunct at Benthic writes back in a hand that takes at least three hours to decipher, attaching a copy of her own dissertation 'to help you on your way.' Sadly there is no fireplace in your library large enough to fit it.
