Description summary:
The description varies based on your level of 
Lead: Cartography.
| Lead: Cartography | Description |
|---|---|
| 520 | You uncover the Waswood Codices, which, naturally, can only be read in a mirror. The middle volume also requires the mirror be silvered in moonlight. You are gratified to later learn that the author was boiled alive in a hot Waswood spring. |
| 521 | The Accounts of the Midnight Apostles. Acts VII:VII furnishes you with[…] improbable apostates who[…] shaped history, and whose dependence upon irrigo erased their contributions neatly afterwards. They can[…] be apportioned responsibility for all acts and none[…] |
| 522 | You include a collection of scrolls from an emissary from the Vatican to the Presbyterate, keen to make up for the embarrassing mistake of identity in the Fifth Crusade[…] Between his fond wishes for what should be, you find glimpses of what was. |
| 523 | You uncover […] phonograms[…] in a scrupulously neglected area of the Benthic Special Collections. Each features the supposed voice of a lily growing in the Lilymire, bearing witness to the unchanged aeons of Hell in fleshy and distressing squelches. Perfect. |
