In Pursuit of the Cuckoo’s Egg
Authored by Fabrosque of the Shorn Brotherhood, published at the Haustorium. Rarely does the Library issue external texts, but a ‘sumptuous friend,’ Robigo said, convinced him to take a chance. [This book houses a numen - a truth so powerful it can perhaps believe itself.]

‘Three eggs were laid in Calyptra’s jealous nest, but none survived. Yet their guardians still brood them. With the Cuckoo’s Egg completed and a clever mind given clever hands, the surprises within these sterile stones could be released at last.’

Start Description: ‘I heard a great compatriot managed to get his work here. To see it for myself - I cannot read it, but the diagrams! The passions which must lie in the script! I ask for the chance to hold it, and I never ask lightly.’ [Zuazo will examine the book and return it to you. He won’t leave until his other business is concluded.]
Description: ‘Do you think our cause without purpose? That we are naught but provocateurs, arsonists, unstable insurgents? I won’t say we aren’t such, for we have donned those masks before, but no action is senseless when undertaken with proper will. How else doth one break an egg or shatter a wheel but through unflinching determination? And whose determination matters more than a Librarian’s?’
