This street stall is stuffed to the brim with mounds of aging texts, most of them unlabeled. Looks like they're being offered at no charge. Could Balam Ri's lost record be buried somewhere in here?

Maybe "Young Biran, Prince of the Luxons"?

This text describes the adventures of a ten-year-old Luxon and his trusty sidekick Nightshell the siege turtle. It sounds like it was written for children and probably isn't historically accurate.

Let's try another one.

That's enough books for now.

It might be "The Arrival of Palawa Joko, 1251 AE."

This one describes how Palawa Joko, the Eternal Monarch of All, used his magical power to save Cantha from devastating floods caused by the awakening of the Elder Dragon Zhaitan. That sounds fishy...

Let's try another one.

That's enough books for now.

Check "The Registry of Offenses, 1689 CC."

This surprisingly salacious book gives brutal accounting of various families that profited heavily from the short-lived Purist regime. This looks like what Balam Ri was describing.

Purchase the book.

I want to check some of those other titles first.

Maybe later.

Perhaps it's "Ritualism and the Spiritual Mind."

This one is offering advice for using the ancient art of ritualism to find inner peace and relieve stress. There's no mention of magical techniques, but several suggestions for stylish blindfolds.

Let's try another one.

That's enough books for now.

It could be "The Saga of Rurik, 1040 AE."

This is about the Ascalonian prince Rurik, who lead his people to Kryta after the Searing. Several liberties have been taken to make it more exciting, including a long fight scene on Mount Maelstrom.

Let's try another one.

That's enough books for now.

Leave it.
