Hello. This is Castiel.

I'm looking for any information that can be provided on Aurora, Etraya, and Echo. I'm particularly interested in the latter.

I'm certain anyone who's made attempts at gathering information about this place and those who've brought us here will have noticed there's no library.

[ calling it suspicious would be redundant, so he doesn't. ]

I've noticed that some of these places that have been built are lacking aspects of the originals. I have access to another library that didn't originate in this world, and several books are absent.

[ the spell books, mostly. ]

What was the space craft for? I've heard it mentioned several times, but I don't understand what it was doing there.

Which ones? Although our world is in many aspects behind others, one area in which we do unfortunately have expertise is in more 'advanced' beings taking an interest in our activities and trying to persuade us in certain directions. Comparing notes to determine what informational topics are hidden is a useful way to decide where to direct our efforts.

I don't know. I had no context for such a vessel upon arrival. My attention was captured by the black hole problem and at the time, I was not yet aware Etraya existed.

Given how it fell, I would consider it more evidence that Aurora's control is limited. If she could have chosen where it crashed, surely she would have placed it far away from the people and infrastructure on the surface. And she would have made some efforts to save everyone. There were people on the ship when it crashed.

Spellbooks, mostly, from what I gather. Anything that might be practically useful.

A black hole? Where was this?

I see.

On which topics? Some of the magical books are in Fodlan's library. So we can assume basic healing magic and elemental control aren't worth censoring. There isn't an effort to censor magic in general, only specifics.

In space, where the ship was prior to crashing into Etraya. I don't know where that was - I was unfamiliar with the star systems and galaxy patterns. I confess I paid less attention than I could have: I did not know what a black hole was, I only knew that I could feel space warping somehow - it was the first time I'd felt such a thing. I found it very disconcerting.

Knowing what I've learned now, I do wonder. The ship was stuck in the orbit of the black hole, but in such a way that it was slowly falling inward. The conditions required for that would be so precise I question if it was a natural occurrence. I know nothing of space travel, however, so my thoughts might be erroneous.

I would have to ask Dean to know that. I wasn't familiar with the original version of this library, but he was.

How is it possible that the ship fell to the planet but the singularity isn't visible from here? The spacial distortion should be affecting the planet at that distance. Unless the ship and the singularity were both originally much farther and the ship was brought here on purpose.

Ask him.

Perhaps the ship itself was teleported? I doubt that it was in orbit around this planet: There were no planets nearby that I could see. In addition, the ship had clear velocity and momentum; it would have crashed much more severely if its path to Etraya had happened naturally. Finally, there were numerous shards of glass which were spread about Etraya in clearly manipulated and unnatural ways - if the ship had crashed without interference, those paths would have been impossible. Evidence points to the ship being brought her purposefully. Though I have no evidence for or against Aurora (or Echo) being the ones to do so.
