31 = "The soldiers here have been clearing all of the sensitive information out of this office. Shredded papers and broken equipment litters the floor. Fortunately, they haven't reached this desk. Most of the papers are accounts of troop movements. Valuable, but not to you.";

33 = "Elderan - It is no longer safe keeping so many records there. Your tower is too exposed, and it would be a disaster if the map to the portal was lost, especially as it nears completion. The portal must remain secret. It will end this war.";
34 = "The documents will be stored in our archives, on the Northern Islands, far from prying Avernite eyes. I have enclosed your key to access. Guard it well. Few of them exist. - Garzahd";
