Books

Many books are scattered around the world of Alethustria. These include tomes of lore, medical books, cookbooks, and even a variety of novels.

Books with Known Titles

 * The Abyssal Lords - A book about demon lords, held by the Academy of the Archmagi's library.
 * Advanced Humor for Advanced Magic - A joke book studied by Ashara.
 * Fish Tales and Fish Tails - A collection of stories and folklore shared by Alethustrian fishermen, such as "The Great Wishing Fish." Kilwin purchased a copy from Castle's Anything Store and gifted it to Reides for his birthday.
 * The Great Storm - A collection of two stories about sailors, one of which shares its title with the book. Reides purchased a copy in Atemcester.
 * The Mind: Unraveled by Haldev Fortisen - A book about mind control abilities. It included two sections, one pertaining to mind control spells and the other pertaining to mind control executed by creatures. Reides borrowed a copy from Falas's library.
 * The People of the Sea by P. Valencia - A supposedly nonfiction book about tritons and their society. Almost of all of the information in it is completely inaccurate and some of it is downright offensive. An extremely dusty copy is located in Atemcester's library.
 * The Tale of Persana and the Hunter - A popular children's book in Laverathia. Detailing an account of Persana assisting a sea elf, it teaches children that they should always help people who respect the seas, even if they aren't tritons.
 * Revenants: A Dark Oath by Raven Ante - A nonfiction book containing useful, generally accurate information on the creatures known as revenants. Reides purchased a copy in Quadroad. There is also a copy in Falas's library, where it is the collection's main source of information on revenants.
 * Sleuthing for Slobs by Anonymous - A mystery novel/book about the art of detection that was poorly received on publication, and thus did not receive a wide printing. However, there have somehow been at least three editions. Falas's library does not carry a copy, but the book appears to be a favorite of Grinlief Dartson. Reides managed to find a copy of the third edition after checking several places and gifted a copy to Kilwin for his birthday.
