A Sharing Of Knowledge

Greetings and salutations, my good Travancians!

Some moons ago, before the attack of the Nulls, I hosted a small gathering for the purpose of teaching, learning, and otherwise sharing in knowledge and the pleasure of learned company.

After awaiting for the hubbub to die down, and some studying of my own, I feel now to be an excellent time to once again host another such gathering. I will be arriving at approximately eleven bells, should a suitable location be found for this.

As before, if anyone has anything they wish to learn about, I am possessed of a great many volumes in my library I can bring with me in exchange for learning something I do not already know. Simply post here what you wish to learn about and I can see if I have a volume containing information about your topic in my library.

As before, please bring tea and/or light refreshments.

-S. Nagell

((OOG: yes, you can learn Lores from this mod, pending approval by the powers that be))

Let me know what knowledge you seek to learn and I will teach you even if you have nothing new for me.

Mister Nagell,

While I am new to Travance and admittedly know very little of this world, I would be happy to exchange knowledge of the isle of Mercy for any information about espers or the black dragon Telegrim.

I look forward to meeting you.

Sincerely,
Octavia Knox

Good evening Mr. Nagell,

I appreciate the offer of knowledge. There are some things that I feel I need to update myself on, so provided the time is acceptable, I would like to participate in this exchange. Thank you.

S. Nagell,

Am I correct to assume this is Friday evening at 11:00pm. If so I would like to attend to see what knowledge I can learn.

Y. Yahtzi

Hello again, Mr. Nagell.

More often than I'd care to admit, I tend to lack the necessary social graces. Therefore etiquette would definitely be something to learn more about, if you've any volumes on the subject.


-Nalick

The time would indeed be 11 bells in the evening of the day before your feast. The last time I was here, the good Loremaster Haroldson saw fit to graciously offer the use of his statehouse for the meeting. Should he feel so inclined again, it could perhaps be hosted there. If not, I am quite certain an alternate location can be arranged.

I shall peruse my library for information on the topics requested, but all should feel free to attend and seek what knowledge they may.

-S. Nagell

If my duties in the proper do not call me away, I may well visit this. Regardless, welcome once again to Travance, may this stay treat you well.

I don't know a lot but I like to learn. Am I allowed to come if I don't know a lot?

-Midori Suarez
Mercy's Daughter

If it is to be late in the evening, then I guess it can't be helped. I am not expected to arrive until morning on the day of the feast, so I will not be able to participate. Unfortunate, but it happens.

I would be interested to learn from you. I wish to know more about the Ancient Druids. I do not know if you have such knowledge but that is currently the only thing I seek. Being that I am not as experienced I do not know a lot. Do you only exchange knowledge for knowledge?


Thank you for your time,

O. Nesterin
Member of the Druids Conclave

Any are welcome to come and learn. Even if what they may know is something contained within my library, it matters not. What is important is that knowledge be shared, rather than hoarded.

-S. Nagell

I should say that if anyone wishes to learn of any specific topics, do please post here or send a missive by at the latest, five days from now, so I have the chance to sit down and do the proper research.

-S. Nagell

Knowledge, the greatest form of power. I am already fairly knowledgable in many things, however, in the off chance you may have something to teach me that I do not already know, it would be a great benefit to Travance.

I would not mind trading information with you about Dragons, Magic, Psionics or Undead though, I am not sure that my teachers had the best knowledge of these topics.

I believe I can provide a refresher course on most of these things. If there is any particular lore of something you wish to know, make sure you tell me ahead of time.

-S. Nagell

A pleasure to see you will be visiting us again, Mr. Nagell.

If possible I would like to get any information you have on the nature of Visigalis vs Arawyn, Source of Divine Power, how to imprison a Time Reaver, Joshua X, Dysmere, an ancient divine symbol of an arrow pointed up and arrow pointed down, and Tyrelian steel.

Thank you so much and I shall try to bring an offering of food.

Passing ships again in the night Mr. Nagell. One day I hope my duties allow me a reprieve when you are around. I shall send some of my more exotic tomes along with an attendee so you can peruse them for any knowledge you don't possess. Nothing comes to mind that hasn't already been mentioned of information I myself am looking for. Be well and I hope to meet you soon.

You are of course welcome, Mr Fletcher! It is my hope that this be seen as an open and inclusive sort of meeting for any to partake in.

Ms. GraLucia, I can safely say with confidence I do not have information on those topics within my collection, as they all sound entirely unfamiliar to me, I am very sorry to say.

Sir Cypher, alas and alack. But hopefully soon one day we shall be able to sit down and share some knowledge over a cup of tea.


-S. Nagell

I would like to know of Devils, vampires, Werewolves, and Giants. Soul harvesters might also be useful.

I shall endeavor to come if my duties do not keep me away. Regardless, I shall bring some Children's Food in memory of our last encounter. Let us hope there isn't any... strangeness this time. That was most disconcerting.

Brother,

I don't know if it is the early hour, your handwriting or my general distaste in reading, but I misread your last request as wanting to know about soul hamsters. If there is any information on such creatures, let me know.

Caldor

Caldor, Soul Hamsters are the greatest threat I have ever faced!

Those little fluffy balls are adorably dangerous, dangorable!

What is a soul hamster? Are they hamsters who eat souls? Or are they undead hamsters?

-Midori Suarez
Mercy's Daughter

Actually, they are basically hamsters who eat souls and as such, I would strongly advise staying away from them.


-Nalick

I'd like to say these people are making jokes, but I've lived in Alok Malagan...

-Robert Morgan

Beware the chubby fury that is the soul hamster!

Nalick - it just so happens I wrote a manuscript on etiquette which should be laying about in one of the libraries in Travance. If not, I can certainly teach it. As to Devils (both arch and "common"), werecreatures, Giants and vampyres, I have the lores of all, and manuscripts of some. Of Giants, there are several classes and species, so a bit of specificity would be nice. IT just so happens that I have been doing a great deal of research on all the sources of power, Divine, Arcane, Primal, and Psionic. I include Bardics in with the Arcane, which is how I got started on the topic.

I see no problem with meeting in the Pendarvin Statehouse and using the resources of my library as well. I will make certain that Lord Silverbow has no plans for the State House
's use at that timeI will provide some wine, water for tea (we have some teas on hand, and mugs as well) and, to quote Mordra from several months ago, some "scrumptious snacks."

If those planning on attending will tell Mr Nagell of their intentions by this coming Tuesday, I can better plan for things.

Mr Nagell,

I look forward to attending once more should my duties allow me to do so. I am doing research into an overarching estoteric sort of theory, so any information you have about the links between the body and the spirit would be eagerly discussed.

May you be in good health,

Dr. Tobias Armitage

Mr. Nagell,

I am delighted to hear that we'll be seeing you again shortly. I shall have to bring another batch of that tea we so loved; just let me know if you would like me to pre-brew it strong and black and iced, or bring the leaves with me to brew hot.

I look forward to seeing you Friday night!

~Meander Correlis

This meeting brings me much excitement. I have many things that I should like to learn about and I may be requesting to borrow some books from the library with the permissions of their owners. The main topics of my research is on the Barony, its surrounding five lands, the rulers and hierarchy of these lands, the guilds of Travance, and their structure. Then when I am not asking people about about their land associations and responsibilities, I should like to learn about the druidic arts and their origins.
