When the [[painted warrior]]s attacked the [[10,000 Dawns]], they stole every copy of ''[[The Book of the Enemy]]'' therein to cover their tracks. However, [[the Emissary]] advised [[Graelyn Scythes]], [[Archimedes Von Ahnerabe]] and [[Lady Aesculapius]] that a copy could still be found in the Plume Coteries' Library. Travelling there via [[crystalline incision portal]], they happened upon [[Coloth]], who got [[Marissa (White Canvas)|Marissa]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cite source|White Canvas (novel)}}) whose name had yet to be metatemporally retconned to [[Maritsa]] even though this was a later event in her timeline, ([[PROSE]]: {{cite source|The Cactus and the Corpse (short story)}}) to consult the catalogue. Marissa gave them a glowing library card which would direct them to the book despite the place's unthinkable size, but advised Coloth to go with them because the book itself might prove dangerous. After locating it, the group discovered that the painted warriors were servants of the [[Original Mammoths]] and travelled via another portal to the [[alter-time realm (Cobweb and Ivory)|alter-time realm]] the mammoths called home in the context of [[the war]].

The Plume Coteries' Library is analogous to the library depicted in [[Wikipedia:Jorge Luis Borges|Jorge Luis Borges]]' short story "[[Wikipedia:The Library of Babel|The Library of Babel]], which contains a seemingly infinite expanse of rooms with books containing every possible ordering of just 25 basic characters. It is also similar to the idea of the [[Wikipedia:infinite monkey theorem|infinite monkey theorem]]. | |||
