A thoughtful noise escaped her as she looked over the illustrations. Ruth was right, this was all out of order, and it was not about the Evanuris. Nor anyone who had become well known among her people, but it was familiar somehow. [color=#9a00b2]"I know this place should hold someone from Sil'tarem - they valued knowledge, legacy, heritage. It's not about a person,"[/color] she agreed.
She walked carefully around the murals, looking for anything that might repeat throughout them. Finally, her eyes settled on a particular glyph that appeared in each, though in different sizes and repeated in an irregular way. [color=#9a00b2]"I think this is about Ghil-Dirthalen. A spirit of knowledge that connected the great libraries, allowing someone who was at one full access to everything in all of them. We didn't need multiple copies of records for if Ghil-Dirthalen had one then we all had it."[/color] They had been sundered when the Veil went up, split into pieces scattered across the world with no way to communicate with itself any longer.

And how they stretched themselves from one single spirit to a a collective of connected spirits across Thedas to accomplish that."[/color] It was a remarkable story, and Ghil-Dirthalen had been a remarkable spirit. Did any of their essence still remain tied to the remnants of the of libraries? She wondered, but had not ever had the heart to find out since awakening.
