uquars_gadgetIt is half way through her second day in the archives—she has only browsed the edges, knowing that they spread far into the recesses of the caverns and not willing as of yet to stray so far—that she tucks her hair completely behind her ears, raises her chin, and approaches the desk having come to a decision.

The Hand’s face brightens. "Now that you mention it, Haras-uquara, it has been four and a half centuries since the ancient archives have been re-documented. Three Hands attempted to start it in the past century years, but they all found new areas to research before they finished with the fore-room and lost track."
...Helen has been raised for five years among the scholarly priesthood of Uquar and is not particularly surprised by this, though the idea of being allowed into the ancient archives at her--

She nods. "I shall begin my service tomorrow, then."
Amongst the treasures of the great god.
