 ===== Gasgano's Story =====
-A biography of Peter Gasgano - as told by Flower Nightsky, Advisor and Librarian to Sir Joromi Doxaro, Lord of Holbridges.
+A biography of Peter Gasgano - as told by Flower Nightsky, Advisor and Librarian to Sir Joromi Doxaro, Lord of Hallbridges.
 I first met Peter when he come to Berghof to visit the Nightsky Monastary, in the hope of seeing their famous books of prophesy.  While he was refused access to the prophesies, he stayed with me for a few weeks, to learn what he could of the area and the order.  He was interested many things, his current field of study was people and societies – so he collected stories about individuals, groups and societies.  Eventually, he published a paper on the people and history of Berghof.  In return for my help, he told me about his long life and experiences - which I duly wrote down and published as a short biography.

 Into the most comprehensive library I have ever seen.    Chambers filled with books and scrolls of all sorts - there is one with general works, another dedicated to natural sciences such as agriculture, herbs and fungi.  A third contains Gasgano’s own writings on the people and societies of our world, while another contains his books and research notes on death, the Paths of the Dead and other similar topics.  It was most impressive.
-A door from the other side of the garden led to the Sunset Land.  A large red sun hung on the horizon, throwing the cool shadows of evening across a pleasant parkland dotted with large trees and small open air amphitheatres, all linked by narrow paths..    Small group of people congregated under trees to discuss lore and theories, while some of the amphitheatres hosted a ‘teacher’ holding forth of their favourite theories and philosophies.  Mostly this led to quiet debate, although occasionally voices were raised in fiercer debate of the finer or philosophical points of an argument.
+A door from Gasgano's personal library, let us into the largest book repository I have seen, or even heard of - and there appeared to books on every subject that one could imagine.  A couple of servants nodded politely to us, as they worked among the shelves, and we walked through to his office, where we took tea and ate the sweet confections, known as 'delight', from the southern lands.  He even dealt with a couple of minor queries while I was there, sending one seeker after magical knowledge to someone called The Agent, and instructing one of the servants to fetch a tome on clockworks for a gnome who came calling.
-We didn’t stop for long, before Gasgano returned us to this mundane world and the tasks of daily life.  However, that was a journey that I will never forget, and one that changed my outlook on life.  I have always followed a path of physical and mental development and trained both my mind and body to deal with the rigours of life – and my upbringing at the Nightsky monastery gave me a healthy respect for books and reading.  However, now I have taken the step of deliberately searching out new information and recording it as best I can, in the hope that one day I will be deemed suitable for an afterlife filled with gentle discussion and debate.  Who knows, one might still be able to grow and develop, even after one has died.
