The Book
A book of local / world lore acquired by the party from the Fat-Jolly-Man outside Weber-Hollows on 2026-04-25.
Acquisition
- A PC obtained the book from the Fat-Jolly-Man standing outside town.
- Flinter-Barrows mentioned that a “professor character” had come through Weber Hollows asking to retrieve “one of our books of lore” — likely this same volume.
- The party has already read it and elected to keep it rather than return it to Flinter, despite suspecting the fat jolly man may be “a bad guy.”
In-World Meaning (Out-of-Game Note)
In-fiction, the book contains the world lore of Vitas Nova. Out-of-game, it represents the published Quartz-deployed campaign wiki at https://vitas-nova.pages.dev/ — Brandon’s worldbuilding doc. The party now has access to that material as in-world reading.
Open Questions
- Where did the Fat-Jolly-Man get the book?
- Is the “professor” the same person, an associate, or the original owner?
- Does the book contain any sigils, marks, or hidden content beyond the surface lore?
- What language is it written in?
- Why was the professor trying to retrieve it from Weber Hollows specifically?
