Foreword

In the shadows high above the library, a network of walkways extend through the darkness between the giant moorings of great iron chandeliers. Ages ago, young boys were used to ferry skins of oil along these lofty avenues. At each mooring they would descend the great chains to refill and rekindle the countless lanterns that once burned like constellations high above the library floor. The librarians and scribes were not infrequently interrupted by the need to remove a fallen oyler, or to replace furniture and book shelves destroyed by their demise. Nothing was done until thieves were discovered among the oylers. When they were finally removed from the Temple, the lanterns went dark one by one until the great vaulted ceilings of the subterranean library disappeared. All of the thieves were removed but one, who may have escaped but for one fatal misstep. Before coming to her final rest on the library floor, the thief destroyed a lectern upon which lay an open book that included all entries from Fa through Fr.

Pronunciation Key: F (soft f = friend), FV (soft fv = f & v; combine “feel” and “veal”; common sound in Dwürden and Oðic)
