"[following the introduction, if the player has not recovered the special Prison Book] I know that you arrived in the Fifth Age with a Book that was immediately stolen from you. Needless to say, its reacquisition is of interest to me, though my personal history with the Moiety does not give me much hope for it. Still, there is a chance you might somehow manage to retrieve it. If you do, I would ask, for the safety of all concerned, that you bring it to me at your earliest opportunity. Again, to be honest, my reasons here are partly selfish. There is so much yet to be resolved between Atrus and myself, especially in light of what has become of Catherine. In any case, my immediate concern is the completion of the sanctuary I have long promised to all the islanders. In the meantime, as a token of my good intentions, I will allow you free access to my Linking Books, crude though they may be, and to the rest of the Fifth Age. As for the stolen Linking Book, we should probably not meet again until you've recovered it. I will know if you succeeded, and will await your return. Good luck with your search; I hope to see you back here shortly."
