Orion can be found sitting on a green fringed pillow drinking a steaming cup of hot tea. He smiles shyly as you enter his home and motions to a pillow nearby for you to take a seat. Wordlessly, he gets up and pours you a cup. Today is apparently a nonverbal day.

The archivist is silent as he watches you drink but it's not awkward or uncomfortable. It feels homey.

You're relieved for the drink after coming in from his vast desert kingdom. The sun beats down mercilessly and the fires that dot the landscape are a far cry from the small cool adobe building he calls home.

You came to browse his extensive collection of books and old tomes and scrolls. 

After tea he leads you down a winding set of stairs to the archives.

He taps a sign warning you to leave before dark. Why you don't know but his pointed look gives you a creeping feeling that it's important.

You want to ask why but know he won't speak. Today is not a day for spoken words.
