Acolyte's Metatext
Wondrous Item, uncommon (requires attunement by a by a cleric)
The Acolyte’s Metatext consists of a quill and a large, somewhat unwieldy leather bound tome. Whenever the bearer writes with the quill, anything written also appears in the tome, regardless of the distance or location of the quill and writer from the tome. Also, the bearer of the quill is able to accurately transcribe any text seen into the tome, though they do not automatically understand the writing.
The bearer gains proficiency in History, or if they already have proficiency, they gain expertise in History. The attuned bearer also gains advantage on any History (Intelligence) skill check that they make while in possession of the Metatext.
When attuned to the Metatext, the bearer can expend a use of Channel Divinity to know all languages, written and spoken for 10 minutes.
Furthermore, whenever the attuned bearer uses Channel Divinity for any use, they gain foreknowledge of the immediate future and for 1 minute after the use, the first attack made against them is made at disadvantage.
The attuned bearer gains Message as a Cantrip and also may cast Identify, Borrowed Knowledge, and Sending once per long rest.
History
Ilbryen heard reports that one of the temple-libraries of Emore was burned down in the town of Holgast and they went to see what could be done. The townsfolk told them that it was burned by Oleander Throne members from the mainland, who wanted to “destroy pagan knowledge”. The fire was kept from sweeping up the whole town, but unfortunately the temple was destroyed and many priests were lost. While looking through the ruins for anything salvageable, Ilbryen came across a large leather-bound book that was not harmed at all by the fires.
Significance
The Acolyte's Metatext are usable by any clerics, however, they are sacred to the followers of Emone.
