A fairly plain looking room compared to the rest of the castle.  In here are many musty shelves of books along with some scientific and writing instruments.

a royal
scribe
I am the local scribe of a notable scholar. He orates what needs to be said and I write it down. I love my job as I feel that I am writing down living history.
Yes sire. What would you like to do? The king wants this history tome written before the anniversary of his coronation.   Aye, well I can certainly do that. Let's get started! When is the anniversary? Next month, but do not worry. I have brought you this sleeping bag to keep you comfortable at night while you work.  Gee thanks, for such the accommodations. I will get this done quickly. Where shall we start? Well, I've got other things to do. But you and the artist must start immediately. Of course, neither of you can leave the library until the tome is finished. Aye sire, I will not rest until this is done. I love what I do and it is my passion.  Just a word of advice, leave out that part about the last queen....it's a sensitive subject for the king. Here is some food, it should last you a few days. I would never shame the king. Is there any more advice you can give me? Thank you for the food, but it will be of no use for me. My work is my sustenance.  Well, you've likely heard rumors about what happened to the last scribe. They're not completely true so don't worry too much.  Well I'm the best scribe in the land, I paint perfect pictures with my words. The king will be nothing but pleased with my work. Well, that is fine to hear. I'll tell the king that he can expect the finest book ever written, I'll check on you in a few weeks.
