A Valesk builder (maybe Batman) gave the Great Hall a library! So we need to stock it!

Elves & elf-friends may therefore pester anybody in Valesk about books, specifically elven books of histories, songs, tales, lore. (Magic books? Refer to Meri at the mage tower. Non-elven books? Should involve the Upper Aberwyth library.)

ICly, the Tari has offered to reimburse expenses. Elves may also promise favors or 'do work' for books.

By the way, our treasury is lean (ICly) so elves can also keep their ears open for news of treasure.

Ooo! I got to get my water-breathing tattoo finished!

In the meantime, o citizens of Valesk, here are some titles that you might have.

----------------------------------

Dear Citizen of Valesk, We have tasked the members of the Vale with stocking the elven library with (distinctly elven) books. It would be cool if you had one of the following tucked away in your room, in your belongings, or in that chest you seldom open. The titles are in elvish, the covers are fancy, archaic, and elaborate. These are not magical books [(feel free to have those, as well, but those would involve Astrena Tor (mage's guild)].

OH YES, I HAVE A COPY OF ______ . (fill in the blank)

"Songs of Welcome" - light verse

"Songs of Lamentation" - not so light verse

"Festivals of the Eladari in Faerun" - historical and detailed

"Song of Earendil" - elven epic poetry

"Epic of the Silmaril" - elven epic poetry

"Elven Smiths of Yore" - mix of lore and how-to

"The Naming of the Trees" - history

"The Green Fields of Lebennin" - romantic poetry

"The Call of the Sea" - romantic poetry

"The Lays of Beleriand" - epic historical poetry

"Of Beren and Luthien" - romantic poetry

"The Sundering" - On elven races and the sundering of drow.

"Durin's Folk" - about dwarves. Slanted reporting.
