Elder Scribe

"At first we just heard a steady creaking sound further down the aisle. When the source entered our light, we saw it was one of their kind, but with a markedly aged appearance. This was the first sign we had seen that the creatures even felt the passage of time. This one was hunched, with a wiry sort of beard that nearly reached the floor. Wielding an incredibly large, ornate brush, it appeared to be illuminating the margins of a tome. It's strokes were as smooth as flowing cream, but every movement was accompanied by an audible creaking from its ancient limbs."

Physical Description
Tall, stately Librarians with four arms, Elder Scribes are so old that many of them are sporting injuries such as missing eyes or damaged limbs. They all wear long, white beards; a curious affectation, given that Librarians don't grow any hair. Their robes tend to be on the darker side, with black and gold bindings around their forearms.

Elder Scribes' badge of office is their pen, which is almost as long as they are, and both a tool and a weapon. Wielded with surprising precision, it can repair the smallest yode or thorn in a passage; on the other end, the Elder Scribe can use it to unleash a devestating flood of ink, drowning those who threaten to interrupt their work.

Purpose
Elder Scribes work in the Restoration Halls, overseeing the work and re-writing the most intricate of damaged texts. With their long experience and expertise in Library science, they also frequently serve as advisors and counsellors to the Abbots.
