<h1>Session 85</h1>
<h2>Queries</h2>
<h3>Describe your primary function</h3>
<p><strong>Book 1</strong></p>
<p>The first tome describes the creation of a magical field designed to hold all of the Conciri's classified documents. The author argues that understanding dangerous magic is essential for combating its misuse, and that such knowledge should be stored for future protection. The solution was the Archive Field, which securely stores documents and retrieves records related to any problem it is asked about. The 'brain' of the archive is a large tome that tracks the topics of each book and their locations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Book 2</strong></p>
<p>The second tome discusses upgrades to the Archive Field, implemented after some thefts occurred. These upgrades mainly involve security measures that trigger if unauthorized beings enter the archive or try to remove documents from its area.</p>
<h3>Bring me info on Valiant#35913</h3>
<p><strong>Tomes on attempts to recreate</strong></p>
<p>The first set of tomes retrieved discuss efforts by members of the Conciri to replicate the creation of Valiants and other constructs of Concalian design. These books detail attempts to recreate the body and replicate the arcane patterns found in the recovered constructs. Despite their efforts, the members have been unable to make the constructs function as intended. A major issue is the lack of a known power source capable of replicating the constructs' desired capabilities. Even when briefly powered, the constructs acted mindlessly, similar to modern golems. The general consensus is that the true secret behind the constructs' advanced abilities likely lies in the unknown ritual and power source used by the Concalian creators, which is not detectable in the recovered remains.</p>
<p><strong>Old Concalian Tomes</strong></p>
<p>Another set of ancient and fragile tomes, written in Concalian, documents experimental attempts to upgrade their constructs and provide them with a new power source. Though not noted explicitly, it is clear from the tomes that some event caused the constructs to become cut off from whatever originally fueled their cores. A recurring theme is that the constructs' power cores were draining, leading to eventual shutdown. Each tome discusses a different set of experimental upgrades, and accompanying booklets list the participants and outcomes of each experiment. These booklets detail numerous failures, with the tomes following up by making adjustments or iterating on the procedures. The details of each experiment are extremely complex, generally aiming to establish an additional method for gathering and transferring power throughout the construct's body without disrupting the existing system.</p>
<p>Valiant#35913 appears in the list of each booklet, marked as successful in receiving these modifications. However, in the booklet associated with the final upgrade in the series, there are numerous failures recorded, with Valiant#35913 listed next. There is no indication whether this upgrade was attempted or successful, and the tome describing this final upgrade is missing.</p>
<p>An additional tome describes a method developed to recharge a construct's core by consuming magical items, though it is noted as unsustainable due to inefficiency and the limited supply of such items. Additionally, another tome provides a sort ofpsychological evaluation of the constructs, observing that as a construct's power diminishes below a certain threshold, its intelligence and sophistication begin to decline as well. In the final weeks before shutdown, the constructs reportedly lose all personality and self-awareness, eventually becoming incapable of even basic tasks.</p>

<h3>Mysterious kidnapping records of children from around 25 years ago</h3>
<p>An older set of records details fey creatures in the Vincari Forest attacking and sometimes kidnapping people nearby, including children. The records focus on the Conciri's involvement in aiding the Marcandrians in their efforts to locate the missing individuals. These efforts ultimately led to the apparent eradication of the fey in the Vincari Forest. Additionally, a few tomes describe items and beings, including fey, that were retrieved and kept by the Conciri for study.</p>
<p>A newer tome records the enlistment of a magister by House Grimani to prevent fey attacks on people entering the Forbidden Forest, as the House wanted to exploit the forest's resources. The tome includes a section describing information the magister has gotten from the locals, noting that it was not uncommon for people, including children, to disappear in the forest. It was presumed that the fey killed them and dragged their corpses away, with few attempting to search for the missing out of fear for their own lives. The author notes a peak in disappearances around 1325 AD. Despite attempts to communicate with the fey and find ways to keep them at bay, the magister nearly died from a hostile encounter at the forest's edge. He ultimately abandoned the request, concluding that it was not feasible to eliminate the fey without an expanded and more focused effort.</p>

<p>Another tome details efforts to combat sea monsters believed to be responsible for the disappearance of several ships near the northern coast of Marcandria. The tome includes a list of lost ships, with estimated times of disappearance and the names of those on board. A couple of entries from around 1328 AD, or 25 years ago, mention children among the passengers on some of these ships. None of the names listed are familiar.</p>
