  DESCRIBING THE TOMES
  Each book is classified in several ways. Every book has a gold piece 
  value as well as information on what field of study the book falls 
  under for a sage’s purpose. In addition, there are other descriptors 
  used, and the complete list below describes them in more detail.
  Author: The name of the author if known. Sometimes the author may 
  be a group of individuals, such as the Monks of Merrin.
  Race: If the author is an individual or of a group that contains only 
  one race, the race of the author is listed.
  Dimensions: This is given in inches in the following order: width, height, 
  depth. 
  Weight: The weight of the tome in lbs.
  Materials: The materials typically used in the construction of the 
  tome if the work is unique. For non-unique works, the material 
  listed should be considered the most commonly found version 
  of the work. 
  Rarity: A relative value of the rarity of the tome, ranging from 
  common, uncommon, rare, very rare, and unique. It should be 
  noted that, under normal circumstances, rarity has little to do 
  with value.
  Fields of Study: All the fields of study within the scope of the work.
  Special Knowledge Categories: Which (if any) special categories in 
  which the work belongs.
  Value: The value of the tome to a buyer with interest in such matters. 
  The value here assumes a book in good condition - one that 
  is fully readable and without overt blemishes. Prices should be 
  altered based upon differences in condition from this baseline.

  relatively stable 50 year rule, the tribes of the Khanate splintered and 
  fought among themselves for the next two decades, establishing 
  more than 12 smaller kingdoms. This tome describes this history in 
  detail and ends with the ascension of the 4th Great Khan, Bolormaa, 
  the Witch of Tögöl.

  Value: 550 gp
  This  handy work contains detailed topographical maps of the entire

  terms of the previous work, but two additional chapters are set 
  aside for the complexities of Elven writing at the end of the book. In 
  total, 25 chapters focus on a particular aspect of the language and 
  extended reading samples are included. A small Common-to-Elven

  Ancient Arnuvingia
  Author: Adelhema
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 8x10x1.5
  Weight: 2 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, parchment, iron clasp and 
  lock 
  Rarity: Uncommon
  Fields of Study: Humankind, demi-humankind
  Special Knowledge Categories: History
  Value: 100 gp
  Before Arnuvingia was a land littered with castles, petty fiefs, and 
  constant strife and war, it was a massive kingdom ruled by a series 
  of remarkable queens and kings. For more than 400 years, Grand 
  Arnuvingia presided over all the kingdoms in the central western 
  world. This tome tells of that time, from the near-legendary founding 
  of Arn, to the expansion of the Arnu, and the eventual dissolution of 
  empire from within.
  Ancient Ubaidia
  Author: Liart Spilgie
  Race: Elf
  Dimensions: 16x16x3
  Weight: 15 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, parchment
  Rarity: Rare
  Fields of Study: Humankind
  Special Knowledge Categories: History
  Value: 350 gp
  Written just before Spilgie’s death, Ancient Ubaidia is a companion 
  work to his Ancient Kemet. Ubaidia and Kemet were rivals for more 
  than a thousand years, until the Kemetians eventually overthrew 
  Dumizid, capturing the western lands of Ubaidia. East Ubaidia then 
  capitulated and paid tribute to the Kemetians for the next 300 years 
  before kicking them back out. Like Ancient Kemet, Ancient Ubaidia 
  demonstrated Spilgie’s excellent storytelling abilities, and the work is 
  found in all finer libraries interested in ancient history.
  Animal Butts
  Author: Arlo Facet
  Race: Gnome
  Dimensions: 8x10x1
  Weight: 2 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, parchment
  Rarity: Very rare
  Fields of Study: Demi-humankind
  Special Knowledge Categories: Art & music
  Value: 75 gp
  This oddly-but-aptly-named tome is about animal butts and how you 
  should cook them. It thoroughly covers the major food quadrupeds 
  (goats, sheep, cows, pigs) and even contains a few recipes for the 
  unusual, such as buffalo, camel, and even elephant.

  Aquaducts
  Author: Mfune Mbossa
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 8x8x1
  Weight: 2lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, vellum
  Rarity: Rare
  Fields of Study: Physical universe
  Special Knowledge Categories: Architecture & engineering, 
  mathematics
  Value: 65 gp
  Another mathematical/architectural tome by the relentlessly 
  mathematical Mbossa, Aquaducts dives into the calculations 
  needed to accurately convey water over many miles using only 
  gravity. Of particular interest is the extensive chapter on siphons 
  and how they must be constructed to deal with the massive water 
  pressures involved. Aquaducts has an extensive appendix of pressure 
  tolerances of various materials in various thicknesses.
  Arnuvingian Demographics 
  Author: Rottacks Auldfarren
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 8x10x1.5
  Weight: 4lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, parchment
  Rarity: Common
  Fields of Study: Humankind, demi-humankind
  Special Knowledge Categories: Demography
  Value: 50 gp
  Another 
  in 
  Auldfarren’s 
  excellent 
  series 
  on 
  demographics, 
  Arnuvingian demographics focuses exclusively on the territories of 
  what was once Grand Arnuvingia. Each of the dozen or so current 
  kingdoms is individually described before Auldfarren finishes with 
  a synthesis of the information in the final chapter, along with some 
  educated speculation on the demographics of Grand Arnuvingia 
  300 years ago. As with his other works, this possesses an excellent 
  index. 
  Beans
  Author: Hirum Fronac
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 8x10x0.5
  Weight: 1 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, parchment
  Rarity: Common
  Fields of Study: Flora
  Special Knowledge Categories: Bushes & shrubs, grasses & grains
  Value: 30 gp
  This work informs the reader of the many uses of the humble bean 
  focusing on its uses as an obvious foodstuff and featuring a long 
  discussion on how cracked dried bean form an excellent animal 
  feed supplement. Beans also discusses how the legume rejuvenates 
  the land it is grown upon, and how beans should be rotated into 
  fields every few years or so. Beans ends with an extensive (over 50) 
  catalogue of various beans of the western world.
  Beetles of the Flamat
  Author: Spree Waghorn
  Race: Halfling
  Dimensions: 8x8x1
  Weight: 4lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, parchment
  Rarity: Very rare
  Fields of Study: Fauna
  Special Knowledge Categories: Insects
  Value: 200 gp
  A third, and more rare work of utter fiction by the irascible Spree 
  Waghorn, Beetles of the Flamat is like his other works, heavily illustrated 
  and with the appearance of scholarship, but utterly devoid of any 
  information. Unlike his prior works, the Flamat, which he describes as 
  a grassland/marsh area doesn’t even exist!
  Birds of the Cold Marshes
  Author: Cauld Plowterie
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 8x10x1.5
  Weight: 4lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, parchment
  Rarity: Common
  Fields of Study: Fauna
  Special Knowledge Categories: Avians
  Value: 50 gp
  The last volume in the Cold Marshes series by Plowterie, Birds of the 
  Cold Marshes was put down when he was very old and some sages 
  believe it was a dictated work as sentence construction is simpler 
  than in previous works. Birds of the Cold Marshes is still at the same 
  high standards set in the previous Cold Marshes works, and more 
  than 75 of them are described and illustrated. Unusual for Plowterie, 
  there’s a light-hearted segment about which birds taste best, 
  apparently a nod to the many years he must have survived upon 
  them while researching his series of books.
  Bloods and Power
  Author: Alred Grimhal
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 6x5x0.5
  Weight: 0.5 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, parchment
  Rarity: Very rare
  Fields of Study: Supernatural & unusual
  Special Knowledge Categories: Dweomercraeft, medicine
  Value: 90 gp
  This short treatise discusses the various uses of blood, human, demi-
  human and others. More than 300 different types of blood are 
  discussed by Grimhal, with the prime focus being placed upon 
  potion and ink making. Unfortunately most of this tome doesn’t hold 
  up to rigid empiric testing, although it is all very intellectually and 
  philosophically consistent.
  Bushes & Shrubs of the Valleys
  Author: Saia Zoides
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 16x16x4
  Weight: 14 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, parchment
  Rarity: Common
  Fields of Study: Flora
  Special Knowledge Categories: Bushes & shrubs
  Value: 50 gp
  
  4
  The final work by Zoides on bushes and shrubs, Bushes & Shrubs of 
  the Valleys focuses on warmer-weather variaties that flourish in the 
  valleys. Unlike the prior two tomes, this tome dive deeply into a fewer 
  species and isn’t a broad-stroke work, although significant breadth 
  is achieved as well, making this tome the best of the three in terms 
  of scholarship.
  Cavora Dalivromp 
  Author: Unknown
  Race: Elf
  Dimensions: 14x12x1.5
  Weight: 25 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, brassboard, vellum, brass clasps and lock
  Rarity: Very rare
  Fields of Study: Supernatural & unusual
  Special Knowledge Categories: Planes (astral, elemental & ethereal)
  Value: 475 gp
  This ancient tome is a sister tome to Cavora Impish, assumed by sages 
  to be the same author. Like its sister it is an atlas to several thousand 
  square miles of the grand cavern found on the elemental plane 
  of earth named Cavora Dalivromp. Unlike Cavora Impish, Cavora 
  Dalivromp is uncollapsed and the information within this tome is still 
  useful, although the plane has changed a bit since the writing. Like its 
  sister tome Cavora Dalivromp is in high demand from scholarly and 
  semi-scholarly sources.
  Ceremonial Outfits of the Western World
  Author: Ellina Starchaser
  Race: Elf
  Dimensions: 12x12x2
  Weight: 6lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, vellum
  Rarity: Common
  Fields of Study: Humankind, demi-humankind
  Special Knowledge Categories: Art & music, law & customs
  Value: 95 gp
  Starchaser’s work on the various ceremonial outfits of the western 
  world is a comprehensive look at religious garb throughout the west. 
  It is heavily illuminated by Starchaser’s deft hand and covers the 
  major festival garb as well as a few of the lesser festivals. Although 
  far from comprehensive, it is a solid overview look at an immensely 
  varied subject.
  Codes of the Wuan
  Author: Vurl Burgu
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 6x5x.05
  Weight: 1 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, parchment
  Rarity: Uncommon
  Fields of Study: Supernatural & unusual
  Special Knowledge Categories: Cryptography
  Value: 30 gp
  Codes of the Wuan, by Vurl Burgu, contains detailed explanations 
  of 10 different secret writing systems commonly used by Wuan. Most 
  are variations on transposition ciphers, but some are unique codes 
  based upon the oral history of the Wuan and indecipherable without 
  such prior knowledge. A small work, Burgu spends no time getting 
  right to the subject.
  Collaboration and Destruction
  Author: Grothmogt
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 8x8x6
  Weight: 10 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, vellum, brass clasps
  Rarity: Rare
  Fields of Study: Supernatural & unusual
  Special Knowledge Categories: Dweomercraeft
  Value: 675 gp
  Grothmogt’s Collaboration and Destruction is a tour de force dive 
  into the ways of using magic to create and destroy. Using terse 
  writing, Grothmogt covers the massive subject as quickly as possible 
  while still being thorough. Studying Perceptomancy for three months 
  by a character with an Intelligence of 16 or greater provides a 10% 
  reduction in spell development for creative or destructive spells such 
  as shatter, statue, dig, fool’s gold, mending, and fabricate.
  Crabmen of Khauntskayat Bay
  Author: Komm Heritchu
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 16x16x1
  Weight: 5 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, parchment 
  Rarity: Uncommon
  Fields of Study: Humanoids & giantkind, physical universe
  Special 
  Knowledge 
  Categories: 
  Biology, 
  law 
  & 
  customs, 
  oceanography
  Value: 65 gp
  During the decade Heritchu spent among the tribes of Khauntskayat 
  Bay, he experienced several raids from the crabmen that live in the 
  bay. These experiences led him to thoroughly examine the biology of 
  the crabmen and their social behaviors, at least from the perspective 
  of the knowledge base of the human tribes. His study resulted in a 
  more-effective combat method for the tribesmen, and the title 
  of Bistray “quick helper,” ensuring he would always be welcome 
  among the peoples of Khauntskayat. Careful study of Crabmen of 
  Khauntskayat Bay (one month) bestows a +1 to hit and to damage 
  against crabmen indigenous to cold waters.
  Cryptographics
  Author: Sinhala Forhwil
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 16x16x2
  Weight: 10 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, vellum
  Rarity: Rare
  Fields of Study: Supernatural & unusual

  Value: 320 gp

  A foundational work on magic marks, Cryptographics put forth the 
  law that all magical texts are related, and once one understands 
  that, deciphering new signs and sigils becomes increasingly easy. 
  Those of Intelligence of 16 or greater who study the work for 6 months 
  gain a 10% reduction in spell creation costs for spells such as wizard 
  mark, sepia snake sigil, secret page, magic mouth and other such 
  spells.
  Decapods
  Author: Eishisa Mogat
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 16x16x6
  Weight: 15 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, vellum
  Rarity: Common
  Fields of Study: Fauna
  Special Knowledge Categories: Crustaceans & mollusks
  Value: 100 gp
  Decapods is a wide-ranging study of the world’s crabs. It’s unknown 
  how Mogat managed to acquire so many different species from the 
  far corners of the world, but there is no other work about crustaceans 
  that covers all climates and all continents. Mogat is an excellent 
  illustrator and the catalogue of the hundreds of species is rigorously 
  applied.
  Derefort’s Monstrous Quotations
  Author: Osbid Derefort
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 8x8x2
  Weight: 6lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, vellum
  Rarity: Rare
  Fields of Study: Giants & humanoids
  Special Knowledge Categories: Law & customs
  Value: 60 gp
  The last known work by Derefort, and the least-known of the three, 
  Monstrous Quotations is a collection of quotes made by any creature 
  that is not human or demi-human. Many different creatures are 
  represented, with the majority being the evil creatures, although 
  good creatures are not completely left out. An authorial index lists 
  each quote by author.
  Detailed Minutiae of a Soldier’s Life
  Author: Unknown
  Race: Unkown
  Dimensions: 8x8x1
  Weight: 8 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, parchment
  Rarity: Common
  Fields of Study: Humankind
  Special Knowledge Categories: History
  Value: 30 gp
  This memoir from an unknown soldier of the Great War of the last 
  century details the minutiae of an average soldier’s life in that terrible 
  conflict. The author’s tone is sarcastic and bitter, obviously believing 
  that the Great War accomplished nothing but the hardships she 
  deftly describes. Subjects covered include marching, improvisational 
  defenses, cooking, combat, and comforts and consolations.
  Dördölüm, the 24th Layer of the Abyss
  Author: Kalibma, The Winged Hound of the Abyss
  Race: Demon
  Dimensions: 16x16x6
  Weight: 22 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, parchment
  Rarity: Uncommon
  Fields of Study: Supernatural & unusual
  Special Knowledge Categories: Planes (outer)
  Value: 1,250 gp
  Kalibma, The Winged Hound of the Abyss surreptitiously made 13 
  tomes about various lower layers of the abyss before he was hunted 
  down and destroyed by Pazuzu for his temerity. Since then his works 
  have spread far and wide throughout the multiverse. Although old by 
  several hundred years, much of the information within is still relevant. 
  The names chosen by Kalibma for the layers are not the true names, 
  but one of their common sobriquets.
  Of all the layers of the Abyss, Dördölüm is the strangest of all. Ruled 
  by none, Dördölüm is actively avoided by the demons that populate 
  the abyss because everything that enters the plane that is not native 
  to the plane is separated into four independent, but functional, 
  parts. For example, a demon native to another plane of the above 
  entering Dördölüm will be separated into a torso, head, arms, and 
  legs. Each of these being non-contiguous, yet still connected. It is 
  such a terrible place that major demons treat it as a sort of “prison 
  plane” and given it the name Four Deaths. The fact that Kalibma 
  survived his trip to this plane and returned to create this tome implies 
  that the Winged Hound may have been native.
  Dragons
  Author: Nefermaat
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 12x12x2
  Weight: 15 lbs.
  Materials: Red dragonskin-bound, woodboard, brass plaques 
  Rarity: Rare
  Fields of Study: Fauna
  Special Knowledge Categories: Reptiles
  Value: 225 gp
  This ancient Kemetian work is the first known text on dragons. Given 
  the limited geographical knowledge of the Kemetians, it does not 
  include dragons that are not found in warm, dry terrains, but the 
  dragons it does discuss are done so at length. Of particular note is 
  the detail on red dragons, wherein one reading this text learns of their 
  strengths and weaknesses, providing a +1 to hit and damage as well 
  as a -1 bonus to AC when combatting them.
  Dralmont Elvish
  Author: Monycordis Thraw
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 8x8x1
  Weight: 8 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, parchment
  Rarity: Rare
  Fields of Study: Demi-humankind
  Special Knowledge Categories: Languages
  Value: 250 gp
  The second of Thraw’s works on the Dralmont Elves, Dralmont Elvish is 
  an extremely scholarly look at the use of “pure Elvish” (as the Dralmont 
  
  6
  Elves call it). Thraw’s ear and memory serve him well here as he susses 
  out the 8 traditional cases and the 7 proximal cases in two categories 
  (distal and proximal). The craggy forests of the Dralmont obviously 
  helped form the “pure Elvish” language, as knowing if something is 
  up or down, near or far is just as important as knowing left or right in 
  such rugged terrain.
  Dwarven Cities
  Author: Dorin Halfmane
  Race: Dwarf
  Dimensions: 8x10x3.5
  Weight: 11 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, stoneboard, parchment
  Rarity: Uncommon
  Fields of Study: Demi-humankind, physical universe 
  Special Knowledge Categories: Art & music, history, architecture & 
  engineering
  Value: 110 gp
  This tome describes the shared organizational and architectural 
  aspects of dwarven cities starting with large concepts, such as 
  quarters, and moving down to fine details such as the various 
  traditional types of decorative stonework. Four great cities are used 
  as examples throughout the text: Skaraborg, Karxarum, Donthuruk, 
  and the abandoned great city of the dwarves, Gil Boram. Historical 
  information is littered throughout the mostly-architectural text.
  Elements of the Natural History of Insects
  Author: Sulpicia Lepidina
  Race: Half-elf
  Dimensions: 14x12x2.5
  Weight: 7 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, vellum
  Rarity: Common
  Fields of Study: Fauna
  Special Knowledge Categories: Arachnids, insects
  Value: 30 gp
  Elements of the Natural History of Insects is an ancient Hefestian work 
  on entomology. Before the standard practice of naming creatures 
  based upon physical similarities, entomologists used a nomenclature 
  based upon behaviors, such as imperfect society, perfect societies, 
  defensive tactics, motion, noises, and luminosity. Under this system, 
  insects that current sages consider extremely disparate were linked 
  together. Although now considered outdated and incorrect, 
  Lepidina’s work is still one of deep insight. This large tome compiles 
  the traditional three volumes of Elements into a single binding and is 
  the most commonly found in modern libraries.
  Empty Minds and Open Eyes
  Author: Frongal WicTark
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 16x16x3
  Weight: 15 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, parchment
  Rarity: Very are
  Fields of Study: Supernatural & unusual
  Special Knowledge Categories: Dweomercraeft
  Value: 625 gp
  Empty Minds and Open Eyes is a long and boring work. Nevertheless, 
  it is an excellent study into the memory abilities of humans, demi-
  humans, and humanoids. Its scholarship is evident, and those of 
  Intelligence of 16 or greater who study the work for 6 months gain 
  a 20% reduction in spell creation costs for spells such as feeblemind, 
  forget, mind blank, and maze.
  Ethnology & Culture
  Author: Arjit Divia
  Race: Human
  Dimensions: 8x10x1.5
  Weight: 4lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, vellum
  Rarity: Uncommon
  Fields of Study: Humankind, demi-humankind
  Special Knowledge Categories: Law & customs, psychology, 
  sociology 
  Value: 100 gp
  This highly-influential tome is the foundational work of the Explorer’s 
  College at Draipan. This tome put forth the first connections 
  between race, psychology, culture, and the effect that the natural 
  environment has upon the subjects. A monumental work by Divia, 
  Ethnology & Culture is still the gold standard after many decades.
  Fancy Stones
  Author: Brinker Shinestone
  Race: Gnome
  Dimensions: 16x16x5
  Weight: 20 lbs.
  Materials: Leather-bound, woodboard, vellum
  Rarity: Very rare
  Fields of Study: Physical universe
  Special Knowledge Categories: Geology & mineralogy
  Value: 5,000 gp
  After working on the tomes entitled Ornamental Stones and Semi-
  precious Stones, Brinker Shinestone completed this last work, of which 
  two extremely-valuable copies have just recently surfaced. Like the 
  previous works, Fancy Stones is a wonderful work that mixes exacting

  This tome by Starfinder takes a long-term (300 years) view of human 
  symbols and symbolism throughout the West. It focuses heavily upon 
  the symbols of the various human religions. Symbols of the Religious

  firsthand knowledge of the meaning and changes in meaning during 
  that time.

  a systemic taxonomy of life. In this work she corrects errors in her 
  previous works, and makes changes in prior taxonomy to bring all

  has taken the natural sciences by storm, and many sages are using 
  the Nybergian taxonomy for their own works while urging others to 
  follow suit.

  This fanciful tome is ostensibly about the sea, about all of the seas, but 
  it quickly transforms into an extended critical metaphor regarding 
  morality and social hierarchy of Dimort’s people, the Kunlung. The 
  Kunlung people are found only in the high plateaus of the Kimshan 
  Mountains, so the use of the sea as a metaphor seems a strange 
  choice.

  The history of the Sea-Kings of Cormo, that great island-based empire 
  that contested with Kemet for a thousand years, was a mystery 
  requiring the great genius of Paheto to finally assemble. Working and 
  digging among the ruins of Cormo (as well as three dozen more of 
  islands of the inner se) Paheto pieces their history into a coherent

  Kalibma, The Winged Hound of the Abyss surreptitiously made 13 
  tomes about various lower layers of the abyss before he was hunted 
  down and destroyed by Pazuzu for his temerity. Since then his works 
  have spread far and wide throughout the multiverse. Although old by 
  several hundred years, much of the information within is still relevant. 
  The names chosen by Kalibma for the layers are not the true names, 
  but one of their common sobriquets.
  Todavola is the most-traditional of the 13 planes recorded by Kalimba 
  – it is a realm of ash and fire, of volcanos and obsidian, of tireless 
  wind and acidic rain. There isn’t much life on Todavola and what life 
  there is is as harsh and cruel as the terrain itself. Todavola is notable 
  in being one of the few planes of the abyss that has a “thin veil” 
  between it and the planes of hell. Because of this it has long been a 
  battlefield between the two opposing forces of devils and demons.

  The names chosen by Kalibma for the layers are not the true names, 
  but one of their common sobriquets.
  Ufunetli, the 19th layer of the Abyss is commonly called Fetidrood, for 
  it is a never-ending plane of rotting forests of all sorts. Hardwood,
