The Hidden Library doesn't admit just anyone. Its contents are sanctified, and can only be seen by qualified Daeva.

Which, I should add, you are not. It's nothing personal, you understand, but rules are there for a reason.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

And an even greater one to say goodbye.

The Hidden Library is not a place for literary tourists. The books and materials it houses are irreplaceable--a single page of some of them is worth more than the entire contents of many other libraries.

It's not only the material value of the books. Some of the writings kept there are not fit for all eyes--shocking, revelatory texts that cannot be allowed to leak into the gossip of taverns and dockyards.

No, only officially permitted Daeva can enter the Hidden Library. Come back when you have received official permission. And I mean official. Don't try to scrawl a note yourself.
