The Hidden Book of the Emperor of Jade and Gold
FO-ESO . PT . 042
Self-published
The City of the Pillars of Jade and Gold
29875
A collection of secret rites and enchantments created by the first Emperor to secure his rule, ensure military victories, guarantee economic prosperity, expand his empire, and maintain the loyalty of his subjects. The key ingredient of these rites is the sacred water of the Eternal River, which must be collected from the headwaters at the darkest point of a solar eclipse. This book was passed down through generations of Emperors, who used it to great success, expanding their rule over multiple realms, quashing any resistance, magically converting any who opposed them into loyal subjects.
The book was stolen by the youngest daughter of the 103rd Emperor; she spent ten years making her way to the Library, pursued the entire way by agents of the Emperor. The book now rests secure in our most heavily fortified vault. This is the only known copy and may …

Against the Flow: Insights for Hardened Criminals
DA-PTN . CK . 041
Geothermal Geomytry
Gressin
1832
The definitive resource on resins, apoxys, and the arcane mechanics of trapping criminals in hardened surfaces. This guide attends to the subtle conversaions by which raw substance acquires permanance, and the use thereof in dealing with deplorables. Bluring the line between craft and correction, this volume contains all one needs to stop nerdowells, criminals, and lowlifes where they stand.
Though many have noted the usefulness and precision of Ckejzimachai's work when applied to embued charms and practical applications, his tendancy to leave animals, insubordinate students, and rivals encased in amber means this book has been banned in most student libraries.

On the Use of the Enchanted Waters From the Well of the Worlds
FO-ENC . VE . 037
Lucina Books
Phobolia
929
A collection of rites centered around the use of water from the Well of the Worlds. The book is divided into five sections. The first contains the initial rite for traveling to the Well, collecting the water, and storing it appropriately. The following four sections are arranged according to the type of object to be enchanted: rings, pendants, articles of clothing, cauldrons, and wands. The rites vary in subjective morality and ethics from the altruistic to the self-centered, with a particular focus on traveling to hidden locations and acquiring forbidden knowledge.
A barely-legible copy that arrived moldy and mildewed. The librarians have done what we can to repair the water damage, but some pages were too badly damaged to save. Librarians are attempting to copy the surviving pages and track down a complete copy, but the latter efforts have so far …

On Charting the Destinies of Great Swords, Spears, and Shields From the Wayfinding Cliffs
EL-AST . AC . 036
Celestial Academy
Daherias
4297
Discusses, analyzes, and offers suggestions for charting the destinies of swords, spears, and shields, using the techniques taught by the Celestial Academy. These charts can only be devised from the Wayfinding Cliffs, by studying individual stars, whole constellations, and the phases of the moon, as they appeared when the raw ore was mined and as the weapon was forged (as such, exact dates and locations are necessary for an accurate chart).
Written by an enthusiastic first year student of the Celestial Academy, and personally presented to the library. To our knowledge, the book’s claims have never been tested, and it is unclear if more than the single copy exists. Supposedly, this system will allow an individual to predict whether the weapon …
