Deep in the mountains, you will find Sigrund's Bōchord. Inside you will see many Kobolds travelling to and fro between large bookshelves. The amount of books is simply mind-blowing. How many years must it have taken to amass such a collection?

Over by one shelf illuminated by the slow burn of an oil lamp affixed to the wall you see the head librarian herself. She seems to be giving instructions to one of her Kobold assistants on where to go. He nods and slowly hurries along with his pile of books in hand. As the Kobold vanishes out of sight the elven lady looks up at you and smiles, gesturing you closer. You see the shadow behind her is not what it seems. Perhaps it's a trick of the light or maybe there is more to her than meets the eye?

"How may I help you today?" She asks in a kind and motherly tone
