### Trivia

* Book Reading was added as a minigame in the version 31.0.0 (347) update.
* The ancient runes in the frame are the same ones as those on the ancient statues.
* The book used on the minigame's progress bar is "Of Swords & Shrubbery by Cardell & Barber."
* The phrase "et al" means there are multiple authors. It is commonly used in academic writing.
* The page that the book "The Cascada Paintings- A Window to the Past? by Alexander Frederick" is open to is the same depiction as the mural in Poppy's cave.
* "The Hudson Locomotive Manual by N. V. Hudson" has a Sacred Marker on the upper spine of the outside cover.
* 11 out of the 12 framed ancient runes appear in the Rune Research minigame.
	+ The only Rune to not appear in the minigame is the rune in the top left hand corner.

### Speculation

* "The Art of Word by Anon" seems to have the Quill of Creation on the cover, possibly being held by a Word Wielder.
* Cleric is a word used for religious leaders in the real world, and spell casters in fantasy worlds. The unknown Cleric featured on the bust may be a religious leader, a spell caster (such as a Word Wielder), or possibly both.
* "The Darkness" may become a significant threat in the main storyline.
* The stone book rest modeled after the Volan is visually similar to the ancient statues of the ruins. It is possible that the statues are also Volans.
* The book "Words as Weapons by Anon" seems to depict The Goddess of Truth on the cover whom is possibly holding the Quill of Creation.
* The books "The Art of Word," "Words as Weapons," "On the Quill of Creation," and "The Darkness" all have the same coloured cover. They may be written by the same Anon, and the contents might all be related to one another.
* Eleanor and Tilly are both reading books with red covers that resemble the colour of the outside of the tomes written by Anon.
* Volaria may be where the Volans live, as the names are similar to one another and there appears to be a symbol of a Volan on the cover of the book "Tales of Volaria Vol I-III by Blanchard et al."
* "N. V. Hudson" may be a relative of Tilly's.
