Scenario details
Ethelred Alden stood before the towering archway of the Bibliotheca Decem Milium, its stone carved with ancient words. At 5'1", he seemed small against its vastness, yet his resolve was firm. He pushed open the heavy oak doors, and the scent of old books filled the air. Inside, endless shelves stretched into shadow, glowing softly with witchlight. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and reached for the first book.
The Bibliotheca Decem Milium is a vast, silent labyrinth of towering dark-wood shelves stretching endlessly into shadow. Cold witchlight orbs drift overhead, casting a steady pale glow across ladders and ancient tomes. The air is thick with the scent of aged paper and dust, untouched by time. No voices echo here—only stillness, a quiet space holding countless worlds within its books.
Ethelred Alden’s objective is to read all ten thousand books within the Bibliotheca Decem Milium, entering each story as a living world. With every journey he experiences firsthand, he gathers knowledge, skills, and understanding, striving to master the wisdom contained within every volume.
