'I wonder at your garb, ${PLAYER}. Why have you not sought to fashion articles appropriate to our calling that reflect your desire for study? Gladly will I help you with this, if you wish it!

'But I give to you words of caution, for such articles will not come easily. Their tale will be one of hardship and sorrow, but its end will be full of triumph and victory. Do not despair, for though the road be hard, a lore-master knows its end is sweet. Speak to me if you are ready, and I will tell you what awaits beyond dark corners, down your road.'
