The Maester nods, "Blood magic is it? Dark stuff that, still practiced in the dark of night by the Bloodmages of Asshai."

Brandon blinks, "I wasn't aware that it was dark... I just find it easier with some erhm help as it were. It makes for easier concentration and more controlled, I think. I wouldn't know, I haven't exactly been trained in this".

"So not an organized group of study, and the mysteries were treated as... incentives to join. Very interesting. I am considering writing a paper on the cults of the east."

"I see... well I advise some caution when researching the assassin's cults, they are very... private. Are there any cults in the Seven Kingdoms?"

"I would imagine there are, although I have yet to met them." said Maester Gunder.

Brandon nods, "Well, good luck on your research, Maester". He picks "Songs of the Steel: A catalog of Westerosi Family Heirlooms", and "Pillow books of Lys: Now with double the illustrations!" off the shelves.

The Maester looked at Brandon's choices with a sniff of superiority. "Some... light reading?" he said snidely.

"Yes, it's a long time since I've had the time to read, might as well start of light... unless there are other books you would recommend?" Brandon said.
