Within the College of Discernment

Fragments from the Archives

Deep within the College of Discernment, fragments of knowledge survive: accounts of forbidden gifts, ancient conflicts, kingdoms and the lives altered by power. What remains is incomplete. The Archives will grow as further records come to light.
