"Thank you, Keeper of Knowledge."

Surraruthru bows again and follows after Sylvie.

"Just like that," Sylvie says, "Manners are important here. Most of the monks and priests here don't like being disturbed, since it takes them away from learning."

"I can have manners when I need to. Seira and Kascha would have a fit if I didn't, and it's far easier to appease a dragon-woman and phoenix-woman from the start than to win an argument."

[Anastasia]

Sylvie gives you an amused smile, "So are you emphasizing the dragon and phoenix part or the woman part of that?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru stares Sylvie dead in the eyes with a haunted look.

"Yes."

[Anastasia]

"Aaahahahhahahaha." Sylvie laughs at that, following along with you. "So it's like that, even for dragons."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Just for ones that stay with others, I imagine. Faerie dragons stay in groups. Most other dragons don't."

[Anastasia]

"Yeah, but I grew up with stories about Seira. I'm from the city she served when she was mortal. Everyone took her seriously and she was a national hero. Now you're talking about her like a nagging mother." Sylvie shakes her head in amusement, "It humanizes her and you."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Dragon-izes. Let's be proper, now. Consider this, however. She became a god, and are not all of a god's followers their children? That's what I often hear priests say, at least."

[Anastasia]

"Yes, but not like that," Sylvie retorts, "Anyway, let's get going. Distance is somewhat variable here, but we still have a walk ahead of us."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru nods and follows along.

You wander for a time. You aren't sure how long, but the sun sets and night comes. The sky is bright with stars, so many that it's easy to see even before a full moon rises. As you wander the night time forest, not feeling the least bit fatigued yet, you come to a clearing dominated with a spring. A clear spring that reflects the night sky like a mirror, Sylvie stopping.

"The springs in the House of Knowledge are enchanted. They can bestow knowledge and wisdom...or take it. The wise are able to study it with Spellcraft and choose if it is a spring they want to drink from, or to search for the knowledge about a spring before trying it. The foolish charge in and drink themselves silly and roll the dice." She bars your way with her arm in front of you, dropping it when she finishes, "Do you care to study the pool?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"It's rare I'll get a chance to do this again, so yes."

Surraruthru takes some time to study the magical properties of the spring.

[Anastasia]

This pool is magical. It takes knowledge from you unless you offer an enchanted book or spellbook to it by dropping it in. In which case, you can drink right after and you'll gain knowledge instead.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru throws the book 'The Defectors' into the pond, then drinks from it.
