Have you heard of the Esoteric Books of Freedom? They contain the secrets and techniques of Rangers and Assassins.

Jumentis is currently charged as their keeper. I borrowed the first volume from him and I'd like to return it.

Unfortunately, I can neither leave my post nor entrust an Esoteric Book to just anyone. On the other hand, you're hardly just anyone.

Player: "They'll never see me coming."

I've heard you're one of Lord Vaizel's faithful [%userclass]s. That's encouraging as our struggles seem unending.

Take this Esoteric Book of Freedom to Jumentis in Protectors Hall.

Guard it well, Player. The pages were written in blood, not ink--costly blood.

Player: Accept.

Jumentis specializes in poisons, though he's well versed in all of the techniques of Lord Vaizel. I think he just likes the taste of poisons.

It's the antidotes that taste like refuse.

If you wish to study our deeper mysteries, you'll find him an invaluable resource.

Player: "I'm intrigued. I'll speak with him at once."

Those who chose the path of Rangers and Assassins are usually mercurial and dynamic, not generally given towards tutelage.

And yet Lord Vaizel bade us to train well the fledgling Daevas. Too few of us remember that.

And what brings you here? Did you forget which end of the dagger to hold?

Player: "Actually, I'm returning this to you."

Ah. Wonderful. The Esoteric Books of Freedom are nothing but gibberish to those who don't know our argot.

So Eumelos feels you're ready to delve deeper into the Lord of Freedom's secrets? So be it.
