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 …

A collection of sigil patterns meant to enchant rugs of varying sizes, allowing an individual or small group to safely travel to, across, and back from any or all of the underworlds of the ar’Khan region of the infernal plane.

A poor copy of this well-known text, of value to the library only because it is a first edition. The pages are loose and out of order and it is unclear how many pages might be missing. Some Librarians have suggested there may be extra pages in this copy, unknown …

A deceptively plain book with a cover of sewn reed slats and papyrus sheets. It is in nearly perfect condition except for one page which has been ripped out; this page exists in no other edition, and therefore its contents are unknown. This edition was donated by the Paladins of …

This edition was anonymously donated to the Library one hundred and twenty-seven years ago. It has a red, leather-tooled cover depicting a flock of birds flying towards a distant sun.

Of Home and Herbs
FO-HRB . LA . 030
Atelier
London
1864
A beginners guide meant for young apprentices. Its contents revolve around practices commonly used by many witches during the time. Focusing primarily on ways to grow and sustain useful plants around various home environments, it goes into great detail on ways gardening is about more than the science. Citing how it is also a means of bringing people of all walks of life together. Going on to explain the importance of the bonds every living organism shares.
Though meant for children it is considered well written and documented by many practicing witches. It is noted to be among the first in a series on the topic. Its tone becomes evidently ecstatic specifically when exploring flowers and their use cases.
