Foreword
Ceyndhara ran a hand wearily down her furrowed face. Every day it was the same. Every day it was up to her to decide what tomes would next be copied by the scrivener armies below. Thankfully, this was not her job alone. There were others who made similar decisions within their respective fields. A terrible yet esteemed position, to decide that the works of one ancient might perish so that the works of another could be preserved. Only so much could be done, and time ravished the library shelves not unlike her own wasting body. Not infrequently, word would return that a tome had crumbled to dust upon removal from a shelf, and she would have to inform the Indexers that the work was no more. Every year there would be fewer books until the library was reduced to a shadow of its former grandeur. Comparing her lists carefully, she made a decision that would breathe salvation into a volume that included all entries from Ub through Uu.
Pronunciation Key: U (hard u = unite), UH (soft u = under)
