When they come of age, Ansel and Archer plan a quest to find the Folklords, but the Guild of Librarians cancels all quests in the interests of safety, proclaiming that pursuing knowledge of the Folklords is punishable by death. Ansel and Archer slip away from the village by night, abetted by a mysterious Librarian.
