[Frustration is a relatable emotion. The first night Sarah had come here with the same idea too and left more than a little restless. Going to Terebellum hadn't helped really given sneaking into the library was a bigger undertaking than she had imagined. And the lone bookshop in Dziban had somehow had even less historical reading material than here. What would you call the equivalent of a fantasy world's romance section?

These here though seem deliberately scrubbed of any sort of history. It's like the only books allowed are ones that don't touch on politics or court matters or that sort of thing.
[She pauses a moment there. There's no real surprise in her expression at this information given it's been something she's known for days now. But...]
The Emperor doesn't seem that keen on visiting history either. Or at least they aren't keen on going in-depth with some of their answers. The library is a pretty good reflection of that too.
