Description

It's not common these days, but we do have a few of our histories in writing--well, carvings really. We can trace the etchings with our fingers!

We used to use clay tablets for this, but they were brittle, and prone to breaking. Not good if you want to preserve history!

I hear the djaradin carve their important texts into volcanic glass. If they can manage that without shattering the tablets, we could probably learn a thing or two from their techniques!

Take some samples back to Loamm for study.

This one is lots of three mob fights unless there are a lot of players
killing stuff in the area. There weren't any on my Friday evening run
so Tuesday may be your best and only bet.

One other thing, there are several that are a level higher than the others.
Start there, it will save some frustration.

That is every comment on this page.
