"The ink in the library smells faintly of violets — and something acidic underneath. Pages rustle when no one moves. A sigil glows faintly on the spine of a forbidden tome… until you blink, and it’s gone."

The party is contacted by Janth, the archive’s top scribe, in secret. He shows them two documents side by side — identical in ink and age, but wildly different in meaning. He swears both have always been there… but one is a lie.

Significant NPCs:

• Scrivener Janth – Archive guardian, now deeply paranoid that the past is changing.

• High Curator Emalia Threst – Allegedly loyal to the Crown — but cannot explain a missing year in the official timeline.

• “Archivist Oath” – A living spell disguised as a researcher, whose job is to overwrite history with magical precision.

Rewards:

• A quill that copies only the truth — even if it contradicts what’s written.

• The original Endon Succession Charter.

• A token that lets the bearer restore a forgotten fact — once.

Lore Tie-Ins:

Eldbrook’s archives were warded by the previous king. For them to be rewritten means someone has broken the most sacred seals of the realm.
