Lore

The Translator’s Journal was the life’s work of Eldanar, a renowned scholar and explorer who dedicated himself to the study of languages and cultures. Eldanar was fascinated by the secrets and mysteries of the ancient civilizations that once ruled the world, and he sought to uncover their history and lore through their writings and runes.
Eldanar traveled across the lands, visiting libraries, temples, ruins, and tombs, collecting and deciphering any texts he could find. He recorded his findings and insights in his journal, using a special ink that he infused with his own magic. The journal became a repository of knowledge and power, containing translations, codes, ciphers, and spells from dozens of languages, both living and dead.
