[ hmm. this not, shall we say, ideal. ]

I see. Well, I must hope then that their histories are accurate.

[ they are absolutely not—and wouldn't be even if she wasn't assuming malice in what is reported and what is not, anyone loyal enough to an organization to record its history is going to write in favor of their loyalties. ]

Is there anything in particular you would suggest I focus on, other than Circle histories? Which I am still very interested in, to be clear. We have places of magical learning where I'm from, but they are not run by the church.

[ it'd be hard in faerûn; there's no one church to run anything, what with the polytheism. ]
