A to I

Content by Alphabetical Location

From Allusionionist to the fabled riches of Ick, all are neatly scrambled and annotated by dog-end bits of scrolls that dangle from this tome. Kept in the most secret of the Jotdu libraries, propped with bookends of huge twirling shells, its neatly labeled title entices you with the knowledge of learning of everything in Epicca as one of the spectacle peering clerks of Truphles would see it, all neatly categorized so that if ever there was a line of all the things that dot the land, it could be known who gets called on first, who gets to hang around in the back making funny remarks, and who is lost in the monotony of the middle. It is a book that just leaves you hanging when finishing an explanation of why the Beast of Ii has two eyes.

Elves

Fae of Hidden Splendor

Among the foggy Moors, hidden elves dance the night away in their fabulous home. They believe their palaces are more splendid then the world around, including humans, who they don't think exist. But when you live in a bog, this is understandable.

Ibidea Remaneo

A strange Ibis of artistic signifigance that can always be found in the same place.

Idle Idol

Emblem of the Ild

A most curious artifact from a most curious people, the Idle Idol is one of the last remaining traces of the ancient Pearisian people, the Ild, who got so bored that - philosophers say - they simply stopped existing. Or, some might say, they idled out. The Idle Idol tells their story.

Iou

Philosopher's Coin, The Ion

Currency of Pithia, Eklisi, and the empire surrounding. Its worth is questionable, but it's the most highly valued coin among trading nations. Plus, it's shiny.
