Keep the Dawnfather Notes Out of Imperial Hands
Keep the Dawnfather Notes Out of Imperial Hands
Read Aloud
Books slam to the floor as the side door bursts open. A masked assassin comes low and fast for the table, while a robed empire mage snatches for the temple notes and shouts for the others to cut you off. Ink, dust, and torch smoke fill the room, and the stairs to the lower stacks are already open behind them.

Battlefield Zones
Broken tables, ink pots, and a chalked floor plan of the old temple. Easy cover, bad footing.
Tall shelves packed tight with parchment boxes. A shove can drop a whole lane onto the floor.
A bolted iron door stands half open to the stair down. Cold draft, narrow choke point, and an exit.
Terrain Levers
- Topple a shelf to make a 10-foot wall of books and splintered wood.
- Snuff the oil lamps to carve the room into dim patches and blind fire lanes.
- Throw the iron archive door shut to split the assassin from the mage.
