As Walter Cargan attempts to bring the library of Attrivium to him something resists the ritual and after an uncomfortable experience with a whirling vortex the party find themselves brought to the library instead. The library appears to be in a strange realm and with Walter suffering some kind of magical backlash the party are initially unsure of how to proceed. Fortunately after some unfriendly encounters with the local denizens they are able to find an index of sorts and the party are able to determine the locations of several books of interest as well as the memoirs walter is interested in.
