You are Nasir al-Katib ibn Yasmin al-Assadi, probably the most educated night clerk in all of Araby. You were taught at al-Madrasat al-Haikk, one of the most prestigious universities in the city. You expected a place among the lords and ladies of the land, but a foolish word spoken to unkind ears has left you working for a greedy bastard, searching through his trash for treasures. Worsened by the insulting wage he pays you. Not what you had hoped for when you stepped into the Hall of Wisdom, but fate's designs are never in line with the dreams of men. It is during one of these nights that you come to hear a strange voice.
