Books & Notes

Books are special items that allow the player to learn some parts of the game storyline. Some books may serve as a part of certain contracts. The book contents can be viewed by choosing "Read" from the item context menu. There is also a special category of books called Treatises that allow the player to unlock new skills and spells upon being read for the first time. The list of Treatises can be found on the respective page, while other books and notes are listed in the table below.

Books

Item	Inv. slots	Price	Author	Description
Soggy Diary	1×2	0	Unknown author	An old diary ruined by moisture. It reeks with decay.
Old Remedy Book	1×2	0	Dvert the Healer	An old book on herbal medicine filled with concise, yet useful notes about the herbs of Aldor.
Monastic Book	1×2	1	Abbot Vidian	A hefty old book with a chewed up binding and damp, yellowed pages.
Old Ledger	1×2	0	Jebatur the Miller	By some miracle, it was barely affected by the fire. The pages are covered with a mix of random notes as well as calculations of profits and losses. The latter are much more prevalent.
Venemist Book File:Venemist Book.png	1×2	0	Diomach	This manuscript has a distinct air of antiquity. The parchment pages are covered with dense Axonian script - there are also some occasional notes and remarks, scribbled directly over the original text.
Folio Magic File:Folio Magic.png	1×2	600	Magister Tidas	While studying in the Academy, Magister Tidas became infamous for his refusal to choose a Circle - instead, he dedicated his life to the study of magic as a whole, not bothering with practical implications that come with the use of specialized spells.
Folio Barcia File:Folio Barcia.png	1×2	400	Barbador the Lame	Despite being born with a bum leg, Barbador still traveled across half the known world, taking detailed notes about every country he visited.
Folio Nistra File:Folio Nistra.png	1×2	400	Kreon the Younger	Kreon the Younger followed in his historian father's footsteps, leaving behind a vast legacy. Regrettably, his life was cut short too soon - during the Brynn siege, he was murdered by the Council soldiers for refusing to let them into his house. His last words were: "Not my manuscripts!".
Folio Jacinth File:Folio Jacinth1.png	1×2	400	Barbador the Lame	Despite being born with a bum leg, Barbador still traveled across half the known world, taking detailed notes about every country he visited.
Folio Jacinth File:Folio Jacinth2.png	1×2	500	Ceremony Master Mashair	Even the Ruler of Jacinth, the Most Virtuous of Takiyars, the Inextinguishable Light of Sundanaar, and so on and so forth, considers the ancient custom of addressing him by his full title a tiresome waste of time. Well, that's tradition for you...
Folio Veerlings File:Folio Veerlings.png	1×2	200	Bernold the Distrustful	Unlike many low-effort authors, who simply write down any nonsense they hear without second-guessing it, Bernold the Distrustful had always been a skeptic. Everything mentioned in his work was either observed by him personally or, in the very least, meticulously verified. This probably explains why even decades later his books are still relevant.
Folio Bronza File:Folio Bronza.png	1×2	400	Iremis of Brynn	The Bronze Isles and their customs have always been of interest to Aldorians. Written by a Brynn scholar, this book details the history of that truly fascinating country.
Folio Hieron File:Folio Hieron.png	1×2	600	Farukh an-Dunnah	One of the most well-known elven books on Aldor and its neighbors. Being a god-fearing and pious person, An-Dunnah was especially thorough while describing Western faiths and their differences from Takiya, the religion of the Jacinth Kingdoms.
Folio Beauty File:Folio Beauty.png	1×2	200	Sabrina the Cunning	Magic is a heavy burden - by the age of fifty, those who practice it on a regular basis often look old and withered beyond their years. This book is chock-full of helpful advice for anyone who wants to avoid a similar fate and prolong their youth, if only for a little while.
Folio Skadia File:Folio Skadia.png	1×2	400	Farukh an-Dunnah	An-Dunnah writes about Skadians with a mixture of respect and genuine curiosity: the customs of that harsh, distant land are nothing like his home country of Ahjat...
Folio Eidolons File:Folio Eidolons.png	1×2	600	theognostic Zenarch of Killios	The Keys of the Tetractys is one of the most famous and important texts of Hieronite theology, explaining the main tenets of that religion in fairly simple terms.
Folio Gems File:Folio Gems.png	1×2	600	Niran of Maen	The beauty, scarcity, and magical properties of gemstones capture the hearts of many: the first attempts to categorize and describe them in all their diversity date all the way back to antiquity.
