Oa's Pocket Guide

Without question, Oa's pocket guide is a well used and trusted source of information across Alyeria. The orders scribes have collected a wide variety of basic information to aid the everyday citizen or the far-flung adventurer. Every foundling that crosses paths with a member of the Oa has been solicited to pick up a copy of the latest edition for only a few silver. Within its pages, you can find many articles including:

• Botany and how to not get poisoned by your food.
• Creatures to pet and those you shouldn't
• Places to shop and expect to be swindled
• A brief, revised, history of the world and popular kingdoms
• Swordplay - know if you should pick up a weapon in 10 minutes or less

These and many more useful topics are covered. As updated editions continue to be printed by the order there is a small black market for older versions. Collectors are mostly interested in variations in thought, updated warnings, and revised historical notes. For a select few, the blank pages at the back contain the most useful information.
Sadly, many copies have blank pages filled with shopping lists and illiterate notes. To the trained eye, pristine pages in the rear, contain a list of curated initiate spells. Complete with somatic gestures, materials to gather, and verbal elements required to shape them.

Purpose

To educate the commoner and adventurer alike.  The Obysn Oa is an organization, above all else, of individuals who seek the truth in all things.  The pocket guide is there offering the populace, a glimpse into the vast archives of knowledge that has been collected over the centuries.
