As Master Tehr made his way to the library he faced two armors with halbers in hands before the library, crossing them in the man's path as he first approached, but upon seeing the signet the quickly return to their original pose, leaving the path clear.<br/><br/>Shelf row after shelf row of books, and tomes lined up neatly in rows, the library seems very organized and remarkably clean, several oil lamps lighting the room, and bookcases hold movable stairs to read for tomes on higher levels easier. There is a wealth of information present, but finding it may take a fair while.<br/><br/>Magic was the easy part, it took only first three books from a well organized self to come across that which he had sought. As the queen had mentioned, blue magic did not appear to be resting on the shelf besides the others, but it took could be located after just a little looking around, as well as a gathering of illustrations showing a pixie doing some very naughty things to herself. Seemed like someone was actually crafting an illusionary spell of such an act but ended up with unfinished version for some reason.<br/><br/>The House Records on the other hand were a touch harder to find. There were histories to families and there were commentaries on the power-balance in the Britain Isles in the books, but a comprehensive source seemed to be too much to ask ,or perhaps too dangerous to compile.<br/><br/>Nonetheless, it appeared that House Saari was entrusted with the care of a number of Merchant Marines, sea vessels prepared both for trading and if necessary, battle with the enemies of the realm. House Saari had a standing in most coastal towns, and was respected as capable house that had made its own fortune rather than asking for money or help. They appeared to suffer a curse, or so the commentary implied, given that even the longest marriage in the house had lasted 10 years before the man died in mysterious circumstances.<br/><br/>As for the house Ravos, it took a little searching but there was a commentary on them at least.<br/><em>House Ravos was formed when the <strong>11th Outrider regiment</strong> of halflings engaged an enemy three times their size and emerged victorious, not only defending the border from an attack until reinforcements arrived, but actively pursuing fleeing enemies and the unit commander personally capturing the enemy's warlord, ending a threat that could have harmed the kingdom greatly since their resources were already strained at the time. For his honor in battle, the 11th Outrider regiment's commander was given the right to found a new noblehouse. The House Ravos took the insignia of a black hound as its symbol, as the mount of choice for the halfling outriders. House Ravos and House Saari alike hail from the Eastern edge of the kingdom, and as such have been known to work together on many past efforts. These two houses appear to be more or less allied, while most historians have recorded successful campaigns mainly as efforts of the House Saari alone.</em><br/><br/>At that time Master Tehr heard someone clearing their throat, finding himself facing an older man with dark brownhair and a flowing crimson robe, a smirk on his face, a thin moustache showing above his upper lip.  "Can I assist you somehow? I am amused to see someone else here at this hour... Joranth, Conjurer." He offered his hand towards Master Tehr. "Apprentice to the Court Mage."
