The Arca Daliam

Overview
The Arca Daliam is an ancient artifact, known in Common as The Book of All Things. It is said to contain all knowledge of the Arc, though its contents are hidden from all except those who have read one or more companion books, called a Dalus. Many mortals across the arc seek the Arca Daliam for its knowledge and power.

According to legend, the Arca Daliam was written by the elder god Zorephan, and stolen from him by the elder god Vinaeis, who then gave the book to mortalkind. Every race has stories of the Arca Daliam--even the elves tell tales of its existence.

The last holder of the Arca Daliam was a Sha'ii wizard, who used the knowledge within its pages to wound the elder god Galea. As punishment for their crimes, Galea rent the earth asunder, creating the Meridia and turning Saldastron into a terrible wasteland of horrors untold.

The Arca Daliam requires attunement, and is thus generally kept by a single person at a time. The following people have held the Arca Daliam at some point in the history of the Arc.
