Session Notes

 * After asking a few more questions of Archmage Serene the group exited the Hall of Divination.
 * Chaya Seto received a Sending from Master Zebadiah.
 * She tries to keep her responses hidden, but Tearlag Gravehearth sees her trail back.
 * Chaya asks what happened in Carston, with Zeb responding they are still looking into "a new threat following an old entity". He also says if she wants to know more she should return home. She responds saying "see you soon".
 * While asking Pathfinder Brossur Goldrock to send a message to the Illumiknights to meet them in the library, Chaya sneaks off.
 * Goldrock leads them into the Root Athenaeum. A wondrous library beautifully designed prevalent with volumes of flora in a magnificent view of levels and levels of floors in an arc around a grand old oak. The tree of knowledge. Each branch and level is packed full of tomes and scrolls.
 * Librarian Aurelia Costa greets them having expected them, and leads them up and into the Stacks.
 * She has to admonish Sneek Ash-hide when he tries to put a book on botany back in the wrong place.
 * The librarians assist each of them in various subjects:
 * Tearlag investigates "Liches" as well as "Regulus the Reckless".
 * A good amount of detail was found on the creation and capabilities of a lich
 * A unique hand-made sylvan tome logs observations of a lich
 * This includes the importance of the lich's phylactery
 * Within a Origin registrar journal is a single log of a Regulus entering Origin
 * An amendment to another tome are instances of known liches:
 * Siaszelud - former Counselor of Necromancy and matron of Nerzarn, detained for duration until her phalactory was destroyed.
 * Bhal’zyn - insane demon worshipper, defeated at the Battle of Molten Spire.
 * Dugzooz - Found in Galbraith and defeated.
 * Cheeg’zugux - found to be experimenting on himself with insect dna. Whereabouts unknown.
 * The Restoration of Lastrouye was a fallen king raised by necromancers. Believed lost when the entire kingdom sank beneath the Ocean of Barringbalt.
 * Cerda Hammer investigates "Yalena Whitemane" and instances of the three animal heads:
 * Yalena is present at the forming of the Illumiknights by her brother, Leoric
 * She was the last known member of The Order of the Radiant
 * Their crest features a chimera with the heads of a lion and goat, with a tail of a snake head
 * The order wielded a mystical power bestowed upon them by god, which stemmed from the belief in the impossible, Chimäre Glauben. A chimera is often used to describe something that is hoped or wished for but in fact is illusory or impossible to achieve. Through their faith alone they could manufacture a holy power which they wielded to safeguard the good and righteous.
 * Tyrol Gravehearth investigating the existence of an "ancient kingdom" within Takiden:
 * The lost Obrorus Kingdom was position central to the continent
 * It was ruled by King Anketil of House Rassent
 * During the dominion of the drakes he had bent the knee to the leader of the Draconic Empire
 * When that empire fell, so did Obrorus
 * The Draconic Empire occurred when the majority of Dragons on Menos decied they were the biggest and should rule, enslaving the planet
 * That came to an end when the mortal races allied and pushed back
 * A larger threat, the Tivecah landed the fatal blow. When the dragons were pushed back to Lumina they were killed by the Tivec to extinction
