Knights of Tezoth

-- I wish that this day's visit had but a single purpose -- to send a couple of modest works to press... Alas! Days of turmoil are upon Kanamia's threshold, and in these days the blight sprouts in the hearts of men throughout our land. And so I must ask: have there appeared any mischievous writings that men of darkness might have brought to the doorstep, and is there any place of secret struggle waged quietly through the lines of books? I would fain know what books breathe with nowadays, perhaps I shall uncover something hidden among the lines.

Ambrose estimates how long it would take to skim through the text.

- "The visible rests upon illusion, and the form is deceitful while the essence remains hidden," -- apparently, the interlocutor's response to Ambrose's comment was a quote from the very book they were discussing. The knight may acquaint himself with its (the book's, not the interlocutor's) contents on his faction's turn.
