| Lead: Liminality | Description |
|---|---|
| 620 | The Withered Illuminator guards her texts closely, until you slip her a third gin. Then, dozing, you are at liberty to read. The Third City, it seemed, had frequent contact with a place known as Ixander, which is now no longer recorded. |
| 621 | The Withered Illuminator is distracted […] You seize the opportunity to consult a ledger from a prior Sanatorium, which it seems once offered pleasure cruises around the northern fringe of the Continent. Until[…] the Mithridates Office found out. |
| 622 | The Withered Illuminator is distracted […] You […] peruse her own notes on what she is and is not permitted to let you read. The most forbidden chapter is found at the back of the final volume[…] a meeting between the Copper and the former Lord of Mereid. |
| 623 | The Withered Illuminator gives up and wrangles a volume from you. She is the more able translator and in a trice has furnished you with a full volume of the seven cantos of the Presbyter's Lament, a widely circulated and highly forbidden text. |

Damnable interruption
The Withered Illuminator reads faster than a candle burns, and turns each page before you are halfway finished. She closes the book at the stroke of noon and makes ready to depart. Apparently there is a game of gin rummy she cannot afford to miss.
