The Glories of the Fugue
Overview
A beautifully inlaid gold cover with a hand-painted illustration of a human reaching out to touch a reflective surface, upon which a similar, but eerily different, man is reaching out as well, stands at the cover of this massive tome, the rest of the work as carefully crafted and meticulously maintained as that first page. The pages are made of paper as finely processed as any in your lands, with skillful typography and occasional illustrations.
This tome contains musings and analysis on the nature of a place referred to as "The Fugue", the author appears to assume the reader's familiarity with the subject, as well as the eponymous "Glories". With the broad breadth of assumption it is challenging to follow the implications of the author's work as well as the intent behind the arguments. Fortunately several parables intersperse the more cumbersome analytics and portray the experience of several individuals in dealing with both "The Fugue" and "The Glories".

"Few so epitomized the arrogance of the Order as their founder, Saleema Al-Jhul. I had the distinct displeasure of attending many of her lectures, though they tended more towards self-aggrandizing sermons. The line that stuck with me most lay in her opening statements 'Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent'."
