The ancient stone walls of the Veridian Dominion glow a deep amber as the sun sinks, stretching long, haunting shadows across the library's vast hall. Dust motes swirl in the slanted, warm light while you, a spider humanoid librarian, carefully organize a stack of aged scrolls. The heavy oak door groans open.

He avoids your gaze, his voice tight. What has made him so afraid?
