"Esther", A tractatus on Christian Theology, Quality 3, written in Latin
"Esther", A tractatus on Jewish Theology, Quality 5, written in Hebrew
(this book is written on a scroll of Uterine Vellum, and is
written in many colours of ink, however it is unpointed text
- leading to 1 point of it's quality being physical)
Between them these works form a summa on Scribe Hebrew of
level 5 and Quality 3. The book of Esther was written by
Mordecai son of Yair of the tribe of Benjamin.
Endings - Summae level 9, quality 2, on Perdo. The cover is rather scorched,
as are the edges of many pages - reducing the quality somewhat. You think
the words '... ex Flambeaux' can be made out, where the author's name should
be.

'The Pheripheral Code - Important Rulings, and their Application' by

3) Talon of the winds does, however, affect any book which the caster
might
be reading from, conveniently placed on a nareby lectern.
4) Profundis ex Guernicus is a bit of an idiot at times.
5) What's left can be found in a small envelope, glued to the inside back
cover.
