Book of Legonia
From Legonia
The "Book of Legonia" or "Book Legonia" is the most important artifact of the blue mages high academy and one of the most famous artifacts in North-Legonia in general. Basicly, it's the biggest compenidium about the world.
The Book
On first view, the original book looks like a normal old book with exactly 1000 pages of blank but yellowed paper and a dark-brown and unwritten leather hardcover. The title is written in big letters on the first 2 pages, so you can't different it without opening. It's also magical sealed so only choosen people know how to open.
The resting pages are all empty. By writing special signal words + keywords, the book will show the texts you asked for. To write in it,meaning adding or editing texts, other signal words are used.
The original artifact is guarded in the blue mages academy in Azuran, other blue mages have simple books, which work as copies by magical connection. There places are secret.
The Content
The book Legonia is supposed to collect all knowlegde about Legonia and like every lexica seperated into different main chapters. The book contains wisdom about following themes:
- Physic
- Geography
- Biology
- Politics
- History
- Magic
- Theology and Philosophy
Written only by blue mages of last centuries, the content isn't complete and many things are incorrect, unproved or just rumours and tales. The northern continent is summarized in much detail while the southern world only appear in basic notes. The eastern continent doesn't appear in the book yet. But finally, there's nowhere more wisdom than in this.
Meaning in legonian society
Knowlegde is power, so the blue mages keep the book safe. Noone is allowed to read in it alone or take it away, so a real blue mage has to bring you to the book. Aside, the visit is allowed for a medium fee.
Although, blue mages are supposed to teach their knowlegde to all people if asked by their codexes, normal citizen, who can't pay to watch it fear conspiracies and tell different stories of what in the book is really written.
The book can be changed by the high academy, but only if the blue mages decide concordantly.
To explore the world and complete the book Legonia is one of the main missions of the blue mages.
