  History decrees that it is the doom of men that they forget, which is
rather unfortunate because it appears that this aisle of history books has
been forgotten to even the janitors.  Heavily covered with dust, no
footprints of man or animal have been left here in hundreds of years.  The
glorious deeds and epic adventures of Alyria's greatest explorers have been
set down in these books that form the very walls of this room.  The room
radiates a longing to be perused, each book waiting to be discovered and
every character within hoping to sing their tale to a young adventurous
mind.  The desire is so great that perhaps this aisle has had visitors,
visitors who never escaped the stories, visitors that were sucked in and
became part of the tales themselves.
