Volumes

There are several volumes to a mysterious series of books found across s3 that contain lore.

### Volume 1: Poes

Poes are spirits of the dead that became monsters because of an unresolved attachment to the mortal world. It's said that in the Era of Time that the Hero of Time met Poe brothers. The pair of composers taught him the mythical Song of Storms". When we look to the sky and see clouds of rain, I like to think that the Hero is up there playing that song for us.

### Volume 2: The Deku Tree

In the Era of the Hero of Time the Deku Tree was the guardian of the Kokiri and of their deep forest. Residing deep in the Lost Woods he was entrusted by the Royal Family of Hyrule to guard the Kokiri's Emerald, one of the three Spiritual Stones. Plagued by the parasite inside of him, the Hero of Time entered the Deku Tree and defeated the Parasitic Armored Arachnid known as Queen Gohma. However, the Great Deku Tree withered and died after the beast was slain - the Hero was too late. Before he died, the Deku Tree entrusted the Hero of Time with the Kokiri Emerald and told him to meet with Princess Zelda, sealing the beginning of the hero's legend.

### Volume 3: The Sage

I have heard rumors of the Lord of the Mountain taking refuge in the wonderous and mysterious lands of the Moonlight Groves. Legends say this holy creature is a reincarnation of a sage that died on the lands it now protects. It has an acute awareness of its surroundings, so it seldom appears before people. It's sometimes known by its other name, Satori.

### Volume 4: Crimson Feathers

As I walked along the land below the clouds, it had only recently come to my mind that the large crimson feathers that would fall to the land were from the Loftwings above. I pray to Hylia that I am blessed to find one myself one day.

### Volume 5: Relics

It's said that there existed an alternate version to the mythical land of Termina. From the land of Hyrule a woman traveled and found her way to the dreamlike land. She fell deep in love with the Fierce Diety and legends say that she still carries a piece of him with her where she goes. Legends say that the woman wanders the varying Eras and creates wonderful replications of mythical divine objects used by each Era's respective Hero. It is said that she spends most of her time residing in the Era of the Goddess Hylia in Skyloft.

### Volume 6: Igos du Ikana

Under the leadership of Igos du Ikana, the kingdom of Ikana fought in the Great War of Ikana. Eventually, Igos du Ikana died, as did the rest of the kingdom's inhabitants, and Ikana became a haunted, barren wasteland. Despite the fact that he died, the king and his servants were re-animated by the power of a curse from Stone Tower Temple, which had been opened by the Skull Kid under the possession of the mythical Majoras Mask. Now a skeletal being, he ruled over whatever was left of Ikana with his undead guards. The Hero of Time on his quest to save Tormina had encountered the skeletal king and defeated him with the power of Sunlight and the fabled Mirror Shield. Realizing the Hero's true potential, Igos du Ikana teaches the melody of the "Elegy of Emptiness" to the Hero who uses the shells left behind to climb his way up the Stone Tower Temple and defeat the darkness inside.

### Volume 7: Malice

Clouds of blackened smoke filled the skies as meteors of obsidian and crystalized malice fell to the lands below. From the thick, black-and-magenta tar-like piles come monsters unlike anything else we have ever seen...

### Volume 8: Guardians

The Guardians that followed me here have haunted my dreams. I wonder if I will ever escape this nightmare.

### Volume 9: Sheikah Tribe

The Sheikah, also known as the Shadow Folk, are a mythical tribe of old who have existed for eons. They are a mysterious and secretive tribe with pointed ears, red eyes and shadowy magic abilities. They are the chosen guardians of the Goddess Hylia and were sent to be the protectors and guides of the descendants of her mortal incarnation, the Royal Family of Hyrule. They are known to excel in mobility and jumping and specialize in hand-to-hand combat. In addition, they have enhanced their technical capabilities with a variety of research and create tools unique to their tribe. The Sheikah pass down legends and knowledge which still hold true to this day, with remains of Sheikah Towers covering the lands.
