It wasn't uncommon for Tamar Makaria to spend the better part of a day in the Guild library. She was a voracious scholar, someone who had grown up without resources and quickly become enamored, upon her arrival in Emillion, of the vast, unknowable multitudes contained within the shelves upon shelves of books the Tower boasted. On this particular day, though, she was not merely reading for pleasure. She had spent the morning bent over a cauldron, trying in vain to get a potion to come together properly. Though she fancied herself a master apothecary, a vital ingredient she required -- one she could have found easily in the Jagd, where she spent her childhood -- was unavailable anywhere in the city. She had searched high and low, asking for oya weed everywhere she went, but it simply could not be found. The library, she hoped, could provide her with a suitable alternative, some kind of substitute that would serve the same purpose within the potion and not dilute its potency. It had never failed her before. After the third massive tome of the day bore no fruit, however, she was beginning to grow slightly frustrated. |
