House of Wisdom was a virtual representation of one of Basim ibn Ishaq's genetic memories relived through the Animus.

Description[edit | edit source]

Basim went to the House of Wisdom to investigate Ahmad ibn Musa's disappearance.

Dialogue[edit | edit source]

Basim left the Abbasiyah bureau and made his way to the House of Wisdom. Along the way, he saw smoke coming from the library's direction.

  • Basim: Smoke from the House of Wisdom. What does it mean?

He ventured further into the building while civilians panicked.

Civilians scholars confronting Fazil about the book burnings

Fazil Fahim al-Kemsa addressed the crowd in front of him.

  • Fazil: People, calm yourselves! The fire was small and has been contained.
  • Civilian: Allah's wrath is upon us!
  • Fazil: Most of our books are safe. The danger has passed.
  • Basim: Old man! How did this fire start?
  • Fazil: Old man? Fazil Fahim is old. As old as the House of Wisdom, which he commands!
  • Basim: Forgive me, ustadhi (master). I spoke in haste. Can I help?
  • Fazil: No, the fire has been quenched by the Water Master's bucket brigades.

Fazil questioned by Basim about the fires
  • Basim: Who started these fires?
  • Fazil: Ruffians, I suppose. Enemies of the Caliph, to be exact.
  • Basim: What sort of books were they burning?
  • Fazil: It is too soon to tell.
  • Basim: Perhaps the Caretaker of Books would know.

  • Basim: I am searching for Ahmad ibn Musa.
  • Fazil: Ah yes, he has a workshop here, but I have not spoken to him lately.

  • Basim: Peace be upon you, elder. I shall go.

Basim left Fazim and found himself with two new tasks to investigate.

  • Basim: I still need to find Ahmad ibn Musa, but I should also speak to the Caretaker of Books in the library.

Outcome[edit | edit source]

Basim continued on his search for Ahmad ibn Musa, but also decided to investigate the book burnings.
