You spend some time perusing the books in this library. Incredibly, these people have lived underground for thousands of years under a magical star. Many of the books detail the history of that time, but some books are older still. This planet Leeir was once populated by these people. The legends speak of a great cycle which ends in destruction. Every 7000 years the Sky God sends down his wrath. No man knows how angry he will be each time the hourglass turns.

Excerpt from a book 'The origin of Gladsbury': "And in his wisdom, Feanador the greatest mage of our time cast a magical spell over the whole realm, and sank it into the ground. The people, fearing to be made slaves gathered their weapons to assault Feanador's tower. But then the drums of doom came, and the wisdom of Feanador's effort was revealed. Feanador then conjured the sprites of the Ether to weave a great Magestar to shine above our heads."

Excerpt from a book 'Our Cavern, Our Home': "I think we shall never roam the surface again. Such brutal beasts live there. Here we are masters of our domain. Here we are safe from strife and conflict. There are elements of society which are unsavory, but it's a small world here. Law and order rule the day. Those who say Gladsbury should return to the surface should be reminded that it's this nurturing cavern that has supported their ancestors for eons. We need nothing more. If someone longs for the surface, they should go there alone."
