The Library of Seasons
The Gilded Reserve
“Ah. You’ve found The Gilded Reserve.”
“These archives are not currently accessible to the public. Their bindings remain sealed until a more appropriate alignment of knowledge and need.”
“If you were hoping for answers, I recommend patience.”
“But you are welcome to return. When the time is right, it may call you back.”
The Drakkarium
“You stand within the Drakkarium.”
“This archive is currently sealed by the order of Lady Isamore Zimarelion, Grand Magister of the Academy of Magic & Harmony.”
“Access may be granted only to those whose choices prove them aligned with her higher purpose.”
The Unmarked Vault
“You have reached the Unmarked Vault.”
“This chamber is currently sealed.”
“Its contents are under temporary review. Access may be reconsidered at a later date.”
“Access denied.”
“The portal stands sealed.”
“Only the Firebird's Key may grant passage.”
“Ah, it's good to see you. I trust you're settling into your second year well?”
“I imagine you've heard the rumors about the missing Docilis. I understand your concern—but I assure you, all is well. There's no cause for alarm.”
“...What’s that in your hand? An Emberglyph?”
“Please don’t tell me you’ve started researching something you shouldn’t.”
“If you’re unsure what I mean, allow me to be perfectly clear: You are not to investigate the disappearance of the missing Docilis.”
The Restricted Section
The Shadow Index
“Welcome, seeker, to the Shadow Index.”
“Here we preserve texts that slip between history and myth—truths too fragile to shelve in the open stacks.”
“To retrieve a volume, you must know its name. Not a guess. Not a description. The name.”
“If you know the book you seek, you may proceed below. You only need the first three words.”
“The tome does not open freely. What you read has been revealed only because you have asked the right question. Many of its pages remain veiled-sealed by decree, forgotten by time, or too dangerous to be told all at once.”
