"Greetings my friends, once we have all gathered I've news. First though, what have you all discovered?"
Sarrissa thanked the librarian and continued upstairs to see if the others had discovered anything. She spotted Iym and Henris inspecting a book and attempted to join them. "Learn anything?" she inquired.
She frowned at hearing the news. "Surely there have to be more books here. All of our history cannot be contained in one book...can it?"
She was clearly no academic so it took a few minutes for the missing page to sink in. "Iym, is there no magic that can restore the missing page? Or locate it?"
I got us some rooms at the Inn.
Nivian is very interested in what they need to learn, but ensuring they have a place to stay is also important, so she figures she might as well throw that out there.
Bows low before the elder priest, deferring appropriately to his ranking above hers, she holds it long enough for proper respect to be shown and given. She then rises from it when directed, says softly " Elder, I come seeking to walk in the Lady's moonlight properly, and to assist my companions so we may survive our coming journey. We have been set on a path, and I do not understand nor feel we can make our way without proper guidance. And I fear I am not able to draw our Lady's attention enough. Do you have any advice? My companions are now seeking out their own paths, but I fear none look to our creators as they should. " It was clear from her speech and mannerisms she was a bit lost as how to assist her group of companions
"Of course, sister. What do questions do you have of the Moon?". The Dreamguide sets himself on a mossy stump and taps the one next to him. "Please, sit, let us consult the moon and stars."
Alright, so you want to try to find stuff about the Dark Knight.
Make a DC 25 knowledge (history, nobility, religion, or arcana) check. You can aid another to help each other out. So, you get a +5 to the roll because the library is that awesome

Thinks about her questions carefully, knowing that they needed to be careful about how they where asked so she got a decent answer. For the Moon would reveal her secret to all, but one had to understand the question to be asked first. She thinks and after a bit of prayer she says "We have fought a demon from the dead, and are wishing to know if it no longer stalks our shadows. We have a quest to return an artifact to its rightful owner, yet know nothing about the owner, nor where to look to find the owner. And we are looking for a lost city, yet have no reliable map, what stars should we follow?" She says as she settles next to the Dreamguide. She brushes a few strands of hair back behind her ears, a habit that seemed to be a nervous one. She wasn't to sure she would be able to interpret the information correctly, but would give it her best shot
Pero searches the Library as well, this is not his first time here though the first time he searches on this particular subject.

Henris sets about searching the stacks with Pero, looking with him as they try and find some information about the Black Knight.

The travelers search the stacks. They find no text that summarizes the whole of the Black Knight's history. However, they find references to the Knight. The Knight appeared at the Fall of Myth Drannor, fighting alongside the legions (some say leading them) that spelled the elves' doom. The Knight appeared elsewhere, always as an enemy of the elves. The first record of the Knight appears to be early in Myth Drannor's history, as a foe that was defeated and routed in a battle known as the Scourching of the Twelve Trees.
The dreamguide ponders a small pool of water as Nehama asks her questions. The water darkens like the sky at night, and it surface sparkles as though countless stars twinkle in its inky depths. He taps the water, setting the stars to dancing on the waters. The lights move and swirl, taking on new patterns and shapes....
She sees the image of a knight in demonic armor astride a dark horse, sword drawn and cape fluttering. Slowly, the knight grows larger and larger in the water. The meaning is clear: the knight hunts them still, and the knight is drawing closer.
The starts swirl into a small circlet with a brighter star in the center: the Kiira. It rests upon the head of a child who walks through a forest glade surrounded by towers. The child is dragged by away, snatched by a dragon and taken north.
The city stretches to the East, beyond mountains, a desert, and finally, coming to rest in the heart of a dense forest as a single glowing star... The star grows brighter and brighter and brighter, before fading away. It can be but one place. The ruins of Myth Drannor.

Henris thinks over their compilation of references to the Black Knight. "What is the Scourching of the Twelve Trees?"
