Quest Tactics[]
I'll tell you a secret: this is not a quest. Not really. The requirements are basically "complete the Elder Library's Security quest and don't sell what you get from it". So go do that, and get some cool wardrobe items as a bonus when you're done.
Lore[]
We've found the second map piece, and even though it doesn't at all match up with the first, I’ve never seen Velts more hopeful. She is convinced that the Curator is here in the Forest, maybe even in Mama Tree. (If that’s true though, I don’t understand why they haven’t made themselves known by helping us against the Dust.) Still, Velts says the Ancients are waiting, and I don't think it's a coincidence that all of these Elder Library assistants are reappearing now. Time to visit the Library, and hope I can convince them to lead me to the Curator.
