☀️ Arselia and Akonia

For some strange reason, on Wednesday, the Carneolians decided to visit the Imperial Archives together and spend time reading... As if the astrologers had announced a library week and informed everyone about it on the last day. Garrett couldn't exactly be called a bookworm; he usually preferred to develop himself in other ways. However, today, as if suddenly catching the passion for reading that had swept over everyone, he also visited the haven of knowledge. There, he read the following works:

Interview with Her Highness Naria es Diesra Arual
-1 OD, -4 hours
+1 OD, +2 to Luck, +30% to Health, +50% to Initiative, and +1 to all attributes.

"So this is what my benefactor is like... A person with unusual views, even with a touch of romanticism. Not to worship idols? Funny, I have a feeling that I myself once left a similar comment somewhere. And it's ironic that recent events are pushing me in that direction. Where is the line between unwavering loyalty and fanatical devotion with absolute self-sacrifice? It's a difficult question... Perhaps someone with many years of service experience would understand."

The Mechanism of Miss Cosmos
-1 OD, -4 hours
+100 experience, +1 to a characteristic of your choice.

"It's strange that I was transported to the moment when I was holding my brother's skull... If you think about it, I could have ended up here without any reminder of him. Lucky? Who knows, without him, it's unknown how things would have turned out, and how I would have coped with the loss is a mystery." +Agility

The Senate of the Empire, Part IV — The Republic of Mindjin
-1 OD, -4 hours
+100 experience, +1 to Might.

"This senator reminds me of myself in my youth; he also hung out with dubious companies and had fun with all sorts of mischief. And then he achieved success, so to speak. Or is it that I achieved it? At least he didn't get involved in politics; it's still a question of what's worse, confessing sins to priests or that. In general, with such a history, it's not surprising that we were ambushed in Yansi."

A Guide to Margel by Aya Yagamami
-1 OD, -4 hours.
+2 hours for movement around the city, +5% discount on goods and services in the city (does not stack).

"Did Aya really write this? Well, I'll be, I didn't know she could write something in this style; she's truly a multifaceted personality. I hope that by now, no possessed Victors have broken her spirit; it would be sad to see the Sanctuary without its main star."
