Elder's Metatext
The Elder’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
This book used to be the Acolyte's Metatext before it was transformed into this more powerful version.
Significance
This book, originally the Acolyte's Metatext, was enhanced and became the Elder's Metatext. This book was sought by Malthus Normal and the Bookhouse Society, believing that if, during a ritual, it was written in it that the mad god, Ncytelios, was free, then it would appear in Emone's book as a truth and he would be freed.
