Description

<As you thumb through the book, the pages are unusually thick and embedded on their surface are runic-shaped jewels. Samuel Colton notices you looking and approaches.>

Ah, now that's a treasure I've had for many years. Beautiful, isn't it? No clue what it says, but I've always reveled at the thought of something being transcribed in jewels.

Come to think of it, I wonder if Zooey Inksprocket would be able to decipher it. Say, <name>, would you mind taking it over to her and see if she can translate it?
