Beasts of the Kingdom
The arrival of the manticore that I later learned
was called Strix to my tower in Grim Biskerstaf
was a considerable annoyance. It was nesting in my
second library, and no doubt soiling some of the
priceless works therein. Something had to be done.
My attempts to procure adventurous types to remove
the beast failed - it seems the people of the city
have little backbone for an honest days work. So
yet again I, Dolkepper, must do the work.
On entering the library, scrolls to hand, I found
the beast reading my exquisite copy of Peckard's
'illuminations'. What is more, the creature was
handling the book very carefully between talons.
This surprised me somewhat - other manticores I
have encountered have been course beasts. We struck
up a conversation.
It turns out that Strix, as I later learned was the
beast's name, was a scholar. In fact, the creature
was erudite, learned and dry, and I found it an
excellent companion. It seems its chief wish was to
be allowed to continue to read my extensive and I
must say rather splendid library. I agreed to this,
on one condition - that the creature (which claimed
to be very ancient), tell me of the sights it had
seen across the Kingdom, especially the beasts it
had encountered - I was completing my work on the
matter, and hoped that it might prove definitive.
So this was the bargain. What it told me I have set
down in this book, along with a sketch based on the
descriptions the creature gave to me.

Now I, the great Maegeller the magnificent have stolen
this book. That fool Dolkepper would hope to train me at my
father's suggestion, thinking him great and me feeble. Fool!
I am a greater power than he ever was, and now this book of
his is mine! Ignore the wittering of decrepit wizards, and I
shall reveal deeper truths...
