Books

Many books exist in both Sylvatir and Thirshalon. One of the largest and most important libraries in Iquai exists in Fallowfield, though much of the collection was destroyed in the fire caused by the Rorgh's attack. Another great library resides in the enchanted tower outside of the town of Westbridge. Many other libraries exist, in major cities and in the manors of wealthy nobles.
