The Library Guide

Library Guide

"The glow seemed far away in the gloom, but quite suddenly it was there, a hulking figure looming out of the dark, bearing a simple candle. It stood silently until the wizard hesitantly repeated what we had told the "front desk". Slowly, it beckoned with a single claw, then turned and began plodding into the aisles. After a moment's pause, we followed, not wanting to be left outside the meager glow of its candle."

Physical Appearance
The Guide is a large member of the librarian species, standing more than ten feet tall. Their chitin is a dull reddish color, and they have only two arms and a very small head. Their mouth is hidden in the shadows of their hood, and their eyes glow the standard Librarian green.

They wear simple tan robes and a leather belt, and their hands are wrapped with strips of fabric. In one hand, they carry a lighted candle which glows the same green as their eyes, and on their hip they carry a book bound in black leather.

Purpose
Their role, first and foremost, is to guide wayward visitors of the library to the section that is most likely to hold the information they seek. Though there are many more methods, the guide is the first option offered to Patrons to keep from getting lost in the depths of the library. Though they will lead Patrons in the direction they seek, the Guide does not slow down, and does not wait for stragglers. Those who stray from the path they takes will find it difficult to locate them again.
