On the matter of the library

A question of my lineage has been raised.

and while i do not think this matter important i would ask if anyone out there finds him or herself limited by their blood in their veins. who my grandfather was has only so much bearing on what it is i decide to do with my life as i choose.

There are certainly parts of me that are barbarian. I wear camouflage on my face, and feathers upon my shoulders. Perhaps these are instead the trappings of a man who understands the arts of camouflage, and the teachings of the woods?

Personally i like the statement. it appeals to my unusual sense of humor there is nothing more peculiar than seeing an old fellow dressed as i and instead of being greeted by a perplexing riddle i offer you Londewinian coffee.

So i choose to instead address what i feel is relevant. The stereotype is that Barbarians abhor magic. I bare no such abhoration.

Bearing in mind that i am sane and do not with to die or unleash unspeakable evils upon Travance, and understand the concept of everything in moderation; I am a student of as many philosophies as i can sink my teeth into, and do not feel any should be excluded in the quest for knowledge and understanding.

Put your boots/money/sword/stuffed bunny where your mouth is, gentlemen.

Lois, I will happily be your itinerant bodyguard for free. You know where I live.

Seeing how the conversation has turned to something I know a little thing or to about, I would be happy to teach some of you who are in need of education in the art of economic climate on this side of the Rift. One must be willing.....& able to take advice to grow, failure of that will lead only to failure of any venture you may undertake. The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.

I along with Ming Na would indeed be glad to teach some of you on the vast studies of economics and the strategies that drive it. As a long time business owner in Travance nothing makes me happier the good competition, it is what controls our various markets and makes for better products, deals, and profit of course. It takes one many moons to become a master of trade, education, and economics, I can only hope Ming, Myself, and the other business owners and private traders of Travance can make the hardships of life a little better. 

Concerning economics, one can always go to the library and read a manuscript concerning Economics in Travance if one cannot find a suitable teacher at a convenient time. 

            Correct me if I'm wrong, this argument first started between two people about a matter that occurred earlier than the date of this conversation. We have many scholars and priests here to help out with the matter. The fact that people with little relevance to the creation of knowledge or who in particular deal with the Libary's problems daily are joining this huge mess of a conversation as if they know fully of this. I can attest to the fact that books cost money, for it is not the book itself that is not valuable but the knowledge that is spreads. On the matter of building a second library, I find it completely pointless for the Library we currently have is a very fine one and therefore construction of another library would be useless as people already so fondly visit this one. As to the safety of it through the means of sorcery, I find it necessary that clergy of a dark god or professions that would use the knowledge contained in the library for ill use to be magically rejected from the Church. I am a dear friend of Brax for he has baptized me to Galladel and I know first hand that he is a well experienced fighter and has grown and studied more in knowledge than some people in Travance. Lois Maxwell, I do your point of view but with your responses, it starts to make me beleive that you are scolding Father Brax rather harshly through the negativity put into your contradictions against him. I do find it rather offensive. Even with that being said I do agree with some of your points. But in some of your posts you rather unclearly state that you're more intelligent than some other people. You said rather harshly to Father Brax that you were a Scholar and Scribe in a strong sense of sarcasm. I please do humbly wish all of this verbal attacking of people of not trained to pertain with the Library's matters. Thank you.
