Siosa: In more mundane circumstances it would be preposterous to ask this of you, an utter stranger, but given that I don't know in which century I might see another pair of flesh and bone hands...

There's a door, you see, concealed behind the shelves... it leads into the Archives. That's where Icius Perandus concealed his Golden Pages. Can you see how maddening that would be for me? No, of course you can't. Ridiculous of me to... suffice to say that they are beyond my reach.

Four Vaalish texts they are, of priceless historical insight. Please, find my friend's Golden Pages and bring them to me. You will be rewarded. I vow it before the Ancestors.

TIP: The entrance to the archives is hidden, to access the area you must find "a loose candle" somewhere along the walls. Holding the alt key (default) will allow the text to show, without the need to scroll over it.

Siosa: By the Ancestors, it's good to see fresh words in front of me.
Now, my translation skills are not what Icius' were. I can achieve a meagre paraphrase, at best. But a little knowledge is better than none, is it not?
Let us begin.
This tapestry of truth is a threadbare cloth indeed. But at least you have allowed me to begin the first few stitches in its restoration... and to settle the memory of a dear friend.
In return, allow me to give you this. A little practical wisdom to improve your lot.
