The quest text says the Archivist's final words were "Victory only belongs to those brave enough to fall." except, he says fail, not fall.

Let us ponder the meaning of the Archivist's last words: "Victory only belongs to those brave enough to fall." Hmm. It could be reference to the Volume of Victory. That is the most well-known of all the writings said to be kept in this tower. That book is priceless, {name}. I mean that almost literally. We must do whatever is necessary to find it! But, uh... What do you suppose "brave enough to fall" refers to?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Archival Protection
The rarest volumes are kept at the top of this tower, protected by an entity called the Archivist. This stoic guardian is incorruptible. Intractable. Completely uninterested in striking a fair bargain! Its utter lack of business acumen is really quite upsetting. Ah, well.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Complete Set
This is only volume one? We can't just take the first volume. A rare item like this is only useful if it's in a complete set! Grab as many of the other volumes as you can, I will have to prepare a larger expedition to remove all of these volumes.
The storyline at a glance
Archival Protection has 8 steps, from Read Between the Lines to A Complete Set.
