Secret Records of CCOD

## Background Info

This page contains all of the lore books hidden for the CCOD Season 5 Secret Hunt. If you see any weird symbols followed by numbers or letters, for context, those were used to make text colored/bold/italic/obfuscated in book and quills. We will not be embedding text within the logs or making pages on characters because it would be difficult to go through all of these and we want to keep some interpretation up to the reader's imagination.
