Sketch and Translation of The Enchanting Table of the Royal Library of the Old Lands Translated to Common from High Elven and Kojin Page 1 of 13
Discussion
I Narook walk and hunt at night... Filling my lust for blood with beast and sharpening my skills to as better my senses....theres nothing more fufilling than a good hunt. I walk through high town all bloody and with a smile on my face knowing that people might think i killed one of theirs. Ive quenched my blood multiple time with animals but humanoid blood does not satisfy me...I wonder if its my former human self or simply taste. I remember my former self afraid of the dark notq knowing what lurks withing... now its just pure bliss every step, every sip of blood, every manor in wich i do things even when talking to friends or the sweets made in tavern with a taste worthy of kings to feast upon and seeing New Haven flourish with new comers and old alike experiencing this make me fell more alive than ever... I wonder who will join me in my next hunt or.... Will they be to scared to? O shotar guide me through the night as inil does during daylight... my elders have granted me this gift and its so beautifully sweet.
Translations of the Scolanthir Journal: Translated from High Elven Page 2 of 13 Olan Scolanthir
Second Keeper of the Royal Library 1st Day of the 5th month 4067th year of the 2nd Age- Today passed much as the last several years since my father stepped down as Keeper of The Royal Library with one notable exception: a book has gone missing- I have kept it secret and shall continue to do so as otherwise knowledge may spark unnecessary alarm.- I am sure it will turn up-
Perhaps one of the students simply forgot to return it to the correct shelf.-
I shall investigate this further.-
8th day of the 9th month
4073rd year of the 2nd Age
The search for the missing book continues.-
We have finished searching the shelves of the Royal Library and will now focus our attention on the student who last saw the book.-
5th day of the 10th month 4073rd year of the 2nd Age One of the students has discovered a cleverly hidden section of wall in the restricted section.- It concealed a hidden chamber with rare books on enchanting.- My father never mentioned such a section or a hidden room.- I have cordoned off the area until the items have been cataloged.-
13th day of the 12th month
4074th year of the 2nd Age
Some of these tomes contain a great deal of information in using rituals in enchanting.-
There is also a large table covered in magical glyphs and runes.-
Most of the books were standard copies but the most interesting was an original work titled [Redacted]-
Most of the books have been annotated.-
1st day of the 1st month 4083rd year of the 2nd Age I have been contemplating the fate of the tomes found in the hidden room for several years now but only questions remain.- Who hid the tomes and for what purpose?- I shall attempt to decipher these writings and the symbols on the table.-
Text Reads 'bind energy to this place"
This seems to be an enchantment to anchor energy-
[Note added by Caranthir of House Scholanthir]
This seems to stabilize the confluence of multiple elemental aspects and harmonize them.
This one seems to be for combining energy for the creation of something else.-
This set of runic circles puzzles me.- The small one mentions light but the circle seems empty.-
[Note added by Caranthir of House Scholanthir] This circle mentions seeing what cannot be seen and light revealing things. Only visible with a Spirit Light. [Note added by Zyvian of the Hallowed Tome] A Darkstone will reveal hidden energies latent in the enchanting table.
The outer ring appears to convert energy-
This configuration seems to have the power to channel energy in vast amounts to a central gem.-
3rd Day of the 12th Month 4087th Year of the 2nd Age They took them all.- Everything is gone.- The table and books are gone.- I must track down whoever did this and retrieve everything.- I leave this journal and the library to my children.-
[No further entries are made by Olan of house Scholinthir]
These are the notes of Caranthir of House Scholanthir. Third Keeper of the Royal Library. On the matter of the recovery of the fragments of the ancient enchanting table.
So far 3 pieces have been recovered and form most of the left side of the table.
Herein Bind Your Will to These portal Keys?
[No further entries are made by Caranthir of house Scholinthir]
12th day of the 10th Month
3rd year After Fire These notes are written by Zyvian Tome.
4 pieces of the enchanting table have been recovered and complete the left side of the table. Additional pieces have been found that seem to either stand alone or are fragments of the whole.
The Presence of a Darkstone reveals many secrets upon the table. Regretfully Caranithir seems to have had an incident by toying with the tables enchantments. His soul has passed on now into the veil.
The portions of the table which were recovered have now lost all stored energy after using it to close a tear between this realm and the Void.
One of the panels of the Enchanting Table were vandalized at an unknown point in time, the wood carved out to create new and forced flows of magic with the letters I. N. V. O. K. E. R scribed in Kojin and the name 'Calanoth' scribed into another circle. A further carving was cut into the wood with a Kojin letter 'C' at its center.
Under a Darkstone the gouges fluoresce blue/green, and additional symbols glow in orange can be seen.
Strange Glyphs expose themselves to the presence of a Darkstone, scrawled where the name 'Calanoth' was carved into the wood. They appear to be fragmented pieces of the symbols associated with the Eldest.
The circles Olan and Caranthir Scholinthir referenced earlier in the journal. Translated with Darkstone from Kojin. The fluorescence is represented by the color they glow.
Another section of the Table revealed more of these glyphs. I will start referencing them as 'Elder Glyphs' as I believe it is some form of writing or naming scheme using the symbols of the Eldest.
One of the additional pieces which seem to stand alone also hold hidden lines of magic and Elder Glyphs.
The second and third additional panels form another piece that seems to stand alone. It also seems to have hidden Elder Glyphs when placed under a Darkstone.
There are also three small tablets of wood with etchings. They do not appear to connect with the table but have the Elder Glyphs carved visibly on them.
The final panel found at this time is two Elder Glyphs conjoined by etchings.
I have seen these Elder Glyphs in only one other place. On a weapon in which I believe is referenced on this enchanting table.
'Contain the Void in a Blade for endless power'
The blade is made up of six sections, each depicting the etchings of a single Eldest on one side, and an Eldest Glyph on the other. The sections were apart once, and drained at the life essence of the one holding it. When it was joined together the one holding it had less than a minute before they felt their life start to ebb. It was used to free the souls devoured by the Spawn of Shothar which roamed during the 2nd year After Fire. At this time, it is in the possession of the Temple of Nine Lives.
Through all my research, I have managed to find meaning to only a few of the many Elder Glyphs.
