[Given his interest in magic (and the research thereof) it no doubt comes as no surprise whatsoever that Emet-Selch makes his way to the library. He doesn't specifically intend to bring back any books for his own personal use, but that doesn't mean he can't make the most of his time in the library.
As such he can mostly be found either speaking to - or following! - one of the owls, or sitting under one of the lanterns, most frequently reading some esoteric text or another - with magic itself being the most common topic.]
{Immersed in Books} {i}
[It stands to reason that a library that had been specifically described as magical in nature would have that extend to the books as well. And indeed, Emet-Selch has already come across more than a few minor magical effects.
Opening a book to find himself suddenly in the middle of a snowy landscape, on the other hand, has him looking distinctly unamused.]
Really? Of all the books in this place, it had to be this one?
{ii}
[That is not the only book he opens. He could not, admittedly, say what drew him to the fairytale section beyond curiosity. But regardless of why he had been there and what had drawn his attention enough to have him actually open a book, the results are unmistakable: a monster is making its way through the shelves. A humanoid creature, robed in shadow with a crown of horns upon its head and two great arms besides the normal two.]
