 Thoedore Aspic (-123 [[EC]] to -30 [[EC]]), founder of the [[Iganefta]] [[Iganefta Recorder|Recorder]], had lost control of his publication to a rival and had sought employment elsewhere.  A veteran investigator, Thoedore was soon recruited by [[Meldersen]], the president of the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge|Bureau]] at that time.  The two colleagues often shared dinners or drinks at the pub after a long day of investigation and research.

 <blockquote>[[Meldersen]] was very fond of his work with the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge|Bureau]]. He was explaining how he had gathered together the finest historians, reconstructive archaeologists, researchers, literary experts, linguists, and [[Speedish Chefs|chefs]] at the Bureau.  I was feeling rather ticked off that he left off journalists from his very inclusive list.</blockquote>

 All the works of the Author Laureates dating back to the founding of the library are available, as well as a substantial number prior to that date, including a few original works of [[Arariax]]. There are also two transcriptions of the "Echecharion" dating back to roughly -70 [[EC]].
