Outer Sanctum Gathered Knowledge
Not only does the Outer Sanctum seem to be missing quite a lot of knowledge, but some of the more interesting and secretive works seem to have been deliberately removed.
While the Outer Stacks and Great Chamber of Knowledge contain general information on Osirion’s mostfamous royal dynasties, information relating to less well known dynasties and older families is contained in theUpper Stacks.
A papyrus scroll dating from Osirion’s Second Age over 6,000 years ago references a “lost” pharaoh named Hakotep. The scroll ascribes the epithet of “Sky Pharaoh” to the forgotten ruler, and recounts his ability to “ride the stars by night.” The scroll even contains a crude illustration of the Sky Pharaoh, a figure standing upon a dais surroundedby glass and crystal. You have noted that the dais and crystals arefloating, seemingly part of a vast temple that somehow sits in the night sky.
An obscure index compiled by a previous curatorof the library lists the scroll referencing Hakotep as one of many that were copied from the personal library of the Sky Pharaoh. This collection of scrolls is held in a part of the Great Library’s Inner Sanctum called the Spiral Archive, described as a chamber resembling a vertical scroll tube crossed by a latticework of papyrus bridges.
