Description summary:
The description varies based on your level of Lead: Liminality.
Lead: Liminality | Description |
---|---|
502 | You spend many happy hours surveying your library, gathering your materials and selecting the exact tomes for the task. A further afternoon is spent chasing footnotes for even more promising texts. Eventually, you recall what you came here to find. |
503 | You bedevil yourself with Khaganian, Latin and hieroglyphics. From these Sisyphean labours, you identify areas of fruitful inquiry – the […] years of the latter Fourth City, the correspondences with old Hell, and of course, the Captivity in the Second. |
504 | You stockpile […] tomes pilfered from the Grand Sanatorium and its predecessors in prior cities – the whispers of the Far Shore, rarely consulted, less studied. But who knows more of life's strange byways than those who […] walked its courses to their end? |
