More backstory than there already is? Since you can make out in-game that Selina is Celennia, is from Moonshade, and that Lydia's her sister. Although the player has to connect the dots themselves. Interesting bit (that I guess you're referring to) from the wiki: "Evidence of Selina's involveme...

Re: Please help with installing mods
Hi there,
The Keyring mod is only meant for The Black Gate, so it won't work in Serpent Isle.
The 'Mods' folder should hold the Keyring folder and Keyring.cfg file, but I bet you did that right, or the mod wouldn't have shown up in-game at all.
Are you sure you're using the latest Exult snapshot?

Okay, you'll need at least 175 to stay warm. 170 is too cold. Fur boots, fur cloak, and hat give a whopping 200, thus you can walk around 'naked'. Wearing only a leather armour (20), fur cloak (70) and leather boots (85) gives a total of 175 and is enough to keep warm. I swapped the leather armour (...

Oh, I think this needs a bit of clarification: Sansalys is not the librarian you get the book from.
It's given by a ghost that's actually in the library. It has no dialogue and just drops the book when spoken to (under a table if you're unlucky).
