The Scribewarden eventually agreed to grant the Mighty Nein permanent access in exchange for 200 platinum and Reani joining the Steeple's expeditions to Molaesmyr for six months. Beau and Reani later returned to apologize, pay for the damage, and ask for access to the teleportation circle. They took the opportunity to pursue various other research interests as well, and Caleb and Nott were expelled from the library after they caused a distraction so that Jester could tear a page from a book about transmutation. The Mighty Nein entered the Vellum Steeple to research sightings of a white dragon. Towards the back of the library is another large chamber where the two teleportation circles are located. The Scribewarden's office is a chamber off the main library. The main library is at least two floors, descending downward. The interior includes private research chambers with large tables for people who have paid. The library is a private institution, and organizes its own excursions into the Savalirwood. While members of the public can enter, researching at the library costs ten gold per person per hour, which in turn funds the library's own activities and research. The main entrance is a curved archway that is ten feet tall at the top. Around it is a subterranean garden with plants that can survive the lack of sunlight, and which reminded the Mighty Nein of gardens they had seen in their time in Rosohna.
#The vellum windows
The stained glass windows are primarily red and yellow, to complement the blue of the building.
The exterior of the Vellum Steeple is a blue marble tower that is built into the rock around it, and which makes it clear that the interior is "cavernous".
#The vellum archive
The Scribewarden of the Archive is Ressia Uvesic.
It contains a teleportation circle, the access to which the Mighty Nein purchased in perpetuity, and a circle that leads to Palebank Village.
John.The Vellum Steeple is a library located in the city of Uthodurn's Deliberation Disc. These sixteen form the last fifteen leaves of St. Next to this group follow five more adjacent single leaves. In another place nine of them occur between what was probably a once-conjoint bifolium. In two places there are three of these single leaves adjacent in a single gathering. In other words, when the book was made, there were not more than about 145 conjoint bifolia in that part of the book which remains today. Of the 340 leaves, over fifty were single leaves. 312-323), but the number was by no means always made-up of a number of sheets folded in half. 125-128) (or perhaps five) to twelve (fî. Not only did the number of leaves in a gathering vary from four (ff. When the gatherings themselves were separated into their component sheets, the make-up was seen to be irregular. It was not possible to distinguish the sewing holes of binding preceding those of 1895, 1830 (approx), and that on seven bands though there undoubtedly was earlier binding. The earliest which could be clearly distinguished was sewn on seven bands. The removal of the 1895 binding revealed the sewing holes of earlier bindings. And the very long hours spent in working on the leaves of these two particular books enabled us who had the honour to repair them to observe and record much that is of interest, and in some instances to correct earlier ideas about them.
When a book, particularly a vellum-leaved book, is taken completely to pieces things can be seen which are otherwise hidden, or can only be guessed at. There are grounds for thinking that " vamping " included more than is covered by the term today. It was last completely rebound perhaps fifty years earlier than the last rebinding of the Book of Kells, but it was later " vamped," or rebacked. In the case of the Book of Durrow the period may have been even longer. The privileged occasions of repairing and rebinding the Book of Kells during 1953 and the Book of Durrow during 1954 offered opportunities for examining both books such as had not occurred for nearly sixty years.
