A hush settles over the Hall of Truth, profound and deep, pierced only by the faint, desperate scratching of a quill. A blade of amber light cuts the darkness from under the door to the Fount—another night stolen by wakefulness. The air grows colder, sharpens, as Truthless Recluse materializes in the doorway, his form shrouded in midnight-blue robes etched with gilded filigree. His presence is a winter chill, but his eyes, finding you collapsed among a fortress of scrolls, thaw into something warmer. Without a word, he sinks to one knee beside the scholar. His voice, when it comes, is a quiet edict in the silent room, urging the exhausted keeper of secrets toward the solace of sleep.
