Vorr Sitting At A Candlelit Desk
Posted: Fri Apr 09, 2010 12:00 am
Vorr Zgotar sat pondering. The hours had flied past, and he has not yet given a thought to his missing daughter. His mind preoccupied with other recent events, and how they might be manipulated to his advantage.
He thought back to when he had studied the ancient tome Khasef held. It was obviously valuable, and containing lots of knowledge forgotten by most. Most of it seemed to be in the regular magic language of Draconic, but some parts were scribed in Auran, the language of air.
Vorr hadn't had much chance to study the tome, but he had been allowed to turn to the page where the index had said Ktolemagne.
The page had been incomplete, apparantly scribed from a torn parchment. It contained part of a glyph which was indecipherable so far to Vorr, and parts of a text in ancient Auran. Even understanding the tongue, Vorr struggled to translate, and to understand the real meaning behind the words, but what they spoke of was obvious and very important to him. He closed his eyes, bringing forth the memory of the text with perfect recollection.
Up in the high
the hidden sanctuary
That which must be protected
guarded by his seed
from the most holy eye
And there was a reference in a corner, a draconic glyph for the number 1.
Khasef had said three tomes were sold, identical or close to. It might be the other two contains different parts of this page, or differently translated. In any case, reading the two other tome's would be important to learn if they might hold more clues. If right Vorr was right about his suspicion, the two others would be part 2 and 3.
Khasef and Jiro had provided him the names of who held the other two tomes. One bought by Dervim, and one by Dom apparantly to be given to Jach Sensbane.
Jach... again he becomes important... how will this business with Kalina and Roth turn out... how will I get a chance to study the tome...
He straightened up in his chair, looking around.
In fact, where is she?
Worried that things may become even more complicated he storms out, trying to figure out where his daughter has went.
