A massive explosion tore through the Thoir Tower at dawn this morning, ripping through a section of archives and part of a reading room at what should have been a safe haven for the knowledge and wisdom that has been gathered at that location by the Parastin Order.
Fortunately, it seems the explosion was confined and contained to a section that had been set aside for various factories and corporations to keep employment, financial, and other business records. Other than a smell of smoke, the other areas of the tower appear to be unaffected (yes, dear readers, the first printing of “I Went Where the Wyvern Fly” escaped unscathed).
Unfortunately, Thoir Leader Calla Grafai, who was making their early morning rounds, was caught in the edge of the blast. Grafai suffered burns and some smoke inhalation, but after some time in the care of the magnificent Aveta W. Aldridge, who has confined her patient to bed rest for the next few weeks, they are expected to make a full recovery.
