>Enshrowded in a dark black cowl, a small woman stares out at
>you. Her deep grey eyes catch yours for only a moment, until
>you notice the color of her skin. An ebony skinned elf stares
>at you, a twinkle in her eye, and a large book in her hands.
>Within this great tome lies all of the Knowledge she has
>collected over her years travelling the waking world. Five
>symbols are engraved into the cover of the book, each a
>glowing rune. You recognize them as the symbols of the five
>magics: Alchemy, Thermatology, Electricity, Sorcery and
>Wizardry. You notice a chain bounding the book to her wrist.
>She explains that she is a Keeper of Knowledge, one who
>wanders the land searching high and low for a scrap of
>information not already contained in her book. She claims that
>she will defend the book with her life, and that an attack
>upon her is an attack upon Knowledge. She turns to go, but
>with a brief glance back at you she smiles and says, 'Do not
>forget young one, Knowledge is power, better to come prepared
>to a fight'.
