The Red Book

**The Red Book** is a book about the size of a dictionary with only a few pages in it. Several events have been noted inside, and R2 stated that the disappearances were related to the the book itself. The book was found in the sewers during Quest *All We Hear Is...Radio Silence.*

Willard claims to have talked to 2 people called Conquest and Owl who claimed to be friends of Shards. But not only does Shards have no friends by that name, the building that Willard claims to have visited no longer exists...

Why has no one been able to talk to the Mayor?

Why are there no books on the history of Waypoint?

During the debacle related to Willard writing a story involving fireworks, Ed and Bel discovered 10 scrolls of water under Willard's bed. However, Willard claims to not have bought them...

When Bel investigated the case of Willard being put to sleep by milk, they encountered a kid working at the Tailors called Rhys. But no such kid works, or has ever worked, there...

People have also been disappearing in town. Does anyone know who Hy is? Or Arc? Or Greethan? Is that just me?

Peoples memories are being modified by mysterious letters, telling them to stop looking. Quinn was petrified by something the Mayor showed him, but what did he see?

How was the party running from demons during Quest "*An Old Friend*" able to escape so easily?

How did the mayor know about the apples that would fix Willard and Lecturn's headaches?

During Quest "Bust In Makes Me Feel Good", the party broke into the Mayor's house, and asked him a number of questions, displayed with answers below:

What are you like? "I'd like to think I'm confident in my abilities, and knowledgeable on topics. I enjoy talking to Jean and Iris on a variety of topics when they come in."

What do you do? "I do a lot more administration work than people think. A lot of town planning, behind-the-scenes work, construction permitting, all of the less-interesting things. I'm not a fighter, but I keep the town mostly working.

Why do you never leave your house? "Because nearly every day in Waypoint there's a T-Rex attacking, or a god ripping holes in reality or a tsunami or a sabre-tooth tiger or a demon. And I do actually leave the house, it's mostly in the early mornings before people have gotten up, so by the time I'm back, the gates have closed again."

What are your hobbies?  "I do have a collection of wine in a cellar that I bring out on special occasions. I have also painted a few of the paintings in this building. They aren't worth anything, but they look nice at least. "

Who are his associates? (After multiple lies) "I work with a group of people who make their way around the whole region. Most of the time I meet them in Lark's Drift."
