The Musty Smell of Parchment and Leather
Objective:
|
Enter the “Books and Scrolls” shop along the northern side of Hierarch Square in Novigrad, and speak to proprietor, Marcus. A purveyor of fine and rare manuscripts, he recognizes you from the compendium he was recently tasked to undertake. But he has other interesting information to impart—namely a man who paid him to keep a book for you. Marcus doesn’t know the man’s name, but the book had a red cover. You can:
- Look at all his books (and purchase his many tomes).
- Tell him you’re just here for the one he mentioned.
Either way, you must search this repository for the book Marcus mentioned.
End: Faint Echoes of the Flaming Rose
Even though you may be interested in the scandalous goings on between the pages of “The Many Adventures of Misbehaving Muriel,” you’re here for a red-leather tome. Head up the stairs, and look for the book on the bookcase by the second set of stairs. Inside “My Manifesto” is a letter to read. It bears the handwriting of Jacques de Aldersberg, the Grand Master of the Order of the Flaming Rose—creator of the “ubermen,” thief of the witchers’ secrets, and hater of elves. You put the sword to him many moons ago. Now his words resonate. The quest then concludes.
