"We want to see the library."

"Alright. It's through that door," she says, gesturing. "Hope you find what you're looking for."

Somehow she doubts that. But airing that concern would do no one very much good, so instead she'll go inside.

The library is fairly plain and undecorated, the numerous bookshelves and books of all sorts instead drawing the eye. The central area is well lit with a warm glow, and an orc at his desk watches over the room. There's a few students at various chairs and tables, researching.

Is the place organized sensibly or will she have to ask for help to find books on the Elder Scrolls?

If there's an organization system, it's definitely not alphabetical, or easily divined.

"Any ideas?" she asks Ena.

"Might want to talk to the librarian, if we don't mind him knowing what we're after. Or just ask for the history section or something."

"I'd prefer to keep our presence and purpose as inconspicuous as possible."

"Then we can start with history. That's a fairly common topic to be asking about, I'd say."

Over to the desk, then.

The orc at the desk grunts when he sees them, then says, "You looking for a book? If you are, I don't care if you wrote it, if you want to look at something then you go through me."

"I'm looking for history."

He points out the history section. "You want to take anything out, you'll have to talk to me. Treat those books right, or you'll regret it, you hear me?"

"Yes."

What do they have for books?

Lots. Some of the same ones as the museum in Solitude, but there's far more here. Everything ranging from eyewitness accounts to scholastic research to dubious testimony. 

After a rather long bit of looking, they're able to find two books: Ruminations on the Elder Scrolls and Effects of the Elder Scrolls. There don't seem to be any more.

So those two and these on the Dwemer and this on Oblivion and a collection of Nord folk tales, and that should suffice.

There's some convenient chairs and a table over there, positioned so it'll be hard for people to get behind them, or they can try to check out the books.

Table. She doesn't want to have to deal with the orc again.

Ena helps carry the books to the table, then picks one of the books on the elder scrolls to read through; The Effects of the Elder Scrolls.

"This is frustratingly sparse on information," she comments after a bit. 

"That's almost a given, considering the nature of the subject." Elana skims the other.

The book is rambling, and difficult to decipher. It's entirely metaphor, but it slowly becomes apparent that the author, Septimus Signus, has at least encountered an Elder Scroll before, if not read one. 

"Hm. It says here this Septimus is a member of this College."

"Probably a better lead than this one. It's a Second Era treatise on why you shouldn't open them without training; not really what we're looking for."

"I wonder if there's a list of faculty somewhere."
