Quest: The Light and the Shadow Part 7: A Candle Flickers in the Dark
Khôltekh has asked you to go find a bookseller in Tilmakhím. He believes she may have the missing volume to 'A History of Castamir and His Heirs' that you found in Dâr Sêkhta.
'I have the book, but your coin is no good here. If I take it Mâramit, the purveyor of traps across the market, will have my head.'
Ephrâti leans in close.
'She and Khôltekh have an arrangement, if you get my meaning. You understand. Off with you then, I need to devise my next counterattack against these rats.'0/1

'Just as I thought - each of these books show a fascination bordering on obsession with the Heirs of Castamir.
'These robes - even stained in blood they speak to Umbari nobility. And these books, much more scholarly than one would think for a lowly criminal. And his writing style from the note, so neat, like he was trained or schooled in it....
'I've got it! An archivist! An Umbari historian! It all fits. They are members of Umbari nobility, highly educated, trained in reading and writing. Sêkhta is an archivist!
'Archivists live and work in the Tor-gardens. They are quite few in number. Hmmm... yes.
'I have a plan. Come, we must go to the Tor-gardens at once!'0/1
