If losing *those* was his/her biggest fear and not losing his etched pendants? You don't need the Immortals to build a library. That's the kind of appreciation for the game that these quests call for.

I tried that, and a few things have stopped me from doing that:
1) The horrid price of paper and pen. (Yes, gold is easy to come by if you try and get it, but I just seem busy all the time).
2) The fact that you can ruin your paper at the end of a 20 line piece of paper. Note to self just works so much better. (Idea: You cannot write a note, until you have a printed copy on paper. Pen your note, then you can send copies to everyone)
3) Dealing with pkers who full loot, then sacrifice your paper, pens, etc and you have to start all over. (Rio, you've been great for not doing that)
Other reason for a library over papers, is you don't have to have the person wanting to learn, and the person with the paper together at the same time.
