28 books and notes lie out in the open on the continent of Idyll. Picking one up gives you that book and nothing else: it goes into your bag with the Story Items, and you can read it again from there whenever you like. Many of them lead somewhere: 21 have their own page in the Lore archive, and 17 are needed by a quest, from Sayn’s scattered research notes to the six parts of Treasures of the Sea. Below: every region with its books pinned and numbered, what each one opens, and a link that walks you through them on the interactive map.
The series and the quests behind them
- Sayn’s research notes. “Sayn’s research notes have been scattered across various places due to accidents.” Each region’s notes are a World Rumor in the journal: find them, bring them back to Sayn, and each delivery pays 10 Glimmer. Bonesky Family Research I, II and III (Beast Fang Ridge) make one rumor, Celestis Family Research I, II and III (Forest of Falling Stars) another; Strange Findings on Trombers (Argent Strait), Research on Bittersweet Blooms (Driftwise Meadow), Bulbly Electrolinguistics (Tideblossom Coast) and Inferlupa Research Notes (Beast Fang Ridge) each close one more.
- Treasures of the Sea and Where to Find Them. All six parts lie on Tideblossom Coast, and Is That a… Lighthouse? sends you after each of them. Hand in the six and the quest binds them into one book, Treasures of the Sea and Where to Find Them, nine pages long.
- Perfumer’s Memoirs. Its three parts are all in Mistwoods, a few steps apart.
- Whitesnow Rose Research Notes waits inside Whiterose Tower, on A Fragrant Journey: Rosetower Woods.
