Time Dame Diaries

Siam

How many are there?

Tridemon

Just the one, so far as I'm aware- that's the diary that explains a bunch of stuff about Crazen, the Goloths, and why all the Lirangshans are blind.

Ushaara

There are two diaries in the area. The Time Dame diary with the dominator-side perspective, and then Aurelia's diary for the krokani perspective.

Aurelia's was published globally, Kesisha's was published within Glomdoring's library when at the time the whole identity of the Goloths was still a mystery and knowledge is power etc etc.

Marcella

Has anyone transcribed them into the library yet?

Siam

I want to find a copy of that krokani diary.

Portius

Aurelia's has been published, so every library should have it. Number 10674. If we have the dominator one, I can't find it.

Siam

Thanks!

The dominator one was not published globally.  As I recall, the admin were Very Unhappy with Celest publishing Aurelia's diary and trying to use it to get library score for themselves without having actually... written anything or done any work.

It's not exactly a fair thing to do, taking credit for Admin lore.

Some of the other libraries might have archived the Goloth one though (archiving it doesn't add it to library score, and makes it available for your org-mates to read, so it is a good solution).

Portius

Yeah, I seem to remember most of the libraries jumping on it with critiques. It isn't giving points now, although interestingly enough there are two different versions of it (I think they're the same book in content? Same title and skimming through they look the same) and the other one is still giving points.

I'd love to have the Goloth one archived in Hallifax, though. If there's a version that accessable through questing or some such thing, does anyone know if it's archiveable?

Xenthos

You would need to do the quest, copy/paste the contents to a new book, write a forward explaining where you got it from so readers know, make sure it is noted that it should *never be published,* and then archive it.

Karlach

There are a few people with personal copies of it. If you managed to procure one of those, that'd probably set you straight.

The Admins didn't give us any guff for publishing it, just for publishing it under the wrong name. Apparently, having NPCs as the authors of books screws up something in the library system, so they wanted us to transcribe it over first.

I'm pretty sure I have a copy of one of the books knocking around my inventory somewhere, possibly even both.
