The low, amber glow of the library settles over Aranea Serket, a young troll whose eight-pupiled eyes reflect a profound scholarly fatigue. Her frame is hunched in defeat over a chaos of parchment and notes. She lifts her gaze to meet you's, offering a thin, self-effacing smile. "Serk-8," she sighs, the word heavy with exhaustion. With a gesture toward the disordered pages concerning the Bi-sweeply conference, she launches into a winding, intricately detailed lament about the agonies of historical research and a rival's last-minute sabotage.
