Strange Occurrences on the Continent of Pescat
Purpose
A tome chronicling inter-planar activity on Pescat written by an elf named Horatio Elsin in 413. This hefty book details hundreds of planar rifts and supernatural encounters dating back to the time of the First Cyle. The book’s split into five parts: Elemental Planes, Shadow and Fey, Infernal Domains, Aberrant Lands, and The People of the Beyond. The book was widely condemned by the Elflands Empire's literati for his radical theories on the origins of life on Ekal and the existence of alien races like the Gith. Horatio became a pariah in the academic circles of Kassædeia, leading to his self-imposed exile in the Bahamut Mtns. He died in 742 during the Sixth Elflands-Rakkan War when the mountain range became the site of some of the conflict's most vicious battles.
Historical Details
Legacy
After centuries of obscurity and neglect, Strange Occurrences underwent a critical reevaluation in the 4th Cycle's tenth century. With interplanar entities like the Sunken God and Naberius causing continent-spanning disasters, more of the Pescaliat's ruling class started to understand the need to understand the dark forces that existed beyond the Veil. New editions were published for the first time in over 400 years, translated into Kiri-Common for the first time in 915.
First editions of this book are now consider rare collector's items, only a handful known to still be in existence. According to rumors, these first editions contain enough arcane energy to be used to cast 'Contact Other Plane'.
