Gloumerrick's books! (By the former GM Jharra)

I recall there was someone who tried to buy a complete set.

GM Scribes

Japhrimel (account Shad0ws0ngs) used to have nearly all of them, though I think he may have sold the "library" a few ago. I'll ask him.

~ Nuadjha, the Briar Fox

You inhale deeply upon your pipe, puckering your lips as you send out three rings of smoke before you, then puff out a small vine of smoke that darts right through all three which causes them to disperse in a hazy shroud!

good lord that was a long time ago. those books were pretty short, right? I think I bought Starsnuffer's treatise but got bored with it quickly (blasphemy I know!). I don't still have it though sorry.


~Moredin

I have maybe six or seven of them. Though I think at least one is duplicate copy. Not sure of all the titles off hand without rummaging through the lockers, but I know I have:

The Four Tenants of Voln by Railien Blightstruck (2 copies actually of that one)
I am the Sea - by Nofret

I think there was a ranger cookbook and book by Plur along with a few other titles as well, but I'd have to search the lockers for them. Organization is not my best skill.

I loved the books. The submitted works were amazing. I do hope there is plans to put them in a library somewhere for everyone to enjoy.

Is there any chance at all of doing another book writing contest? I was not comfortable enough with my RP at the time to submit something, but would love the chance to do so now.

Ghrayce, et al.

I sent an email with the description of the one I have. I wrote it as another character.

A mithril-gilt scarlet leather book, The Tale of a Faendryl Princess.

If you need it, just let me know!

From behind the cell door, a giantman's gruff voice shouts, "You should have killed me when you could have!"

I think I have responded to all e-mails now! As the list of "needs" grows smaller, I will post the ones I need.

Now there is a name I haven't seen in years. I thought I remembered these books but... man. Now I'm really curious what's going to happen.

- Kevin remembers. Like Peppridge Farms but with more tattoos.

>("Gnome Queen" vyrshkana) Hopscotch is...hillarious.

Same here. It's why I think I have more somewhere. I know I Wanted to buy one of each but I think at the time I didn't have much money.

I found this one on one of my locker characters (Vrairhold)

Unfortunately it is an old version:


You tap a scarab-inset gold and brown book, which is in your left hand.
>tap page in book
You tap a gold-inked vellum page in a scarab-inset gold and brown book.
>l page in book
Small stamped golden flourishes ornament each corner of the fine cream-hued vellum.

There appears to be something written on it.
>read page
In the Common language, it reads:
With love and gratitude to my sister Evelith, all of my friends and loved ones in Icemule Trace, but most importantly to my wife Amandia - I love you for always, beloved mine.

Loresinging is considered a throwaway art, seldom remembered. But a true artist strives to be the best that he can even so, and so I share these small gems with you.
>tap second page
You tap a musical note-adorned page in a scarab-inset gold and brown book.
>l second page
Five parallel lines of gleaming gold ink traverse the page, forming the stave upon which painted musical notes are placed to set rhythm and pitch to the words of the song scribed below. Small stamped golden flourishes ornament each corner of the fine cream-hued vellum, and the musical notes on the page are as neat and precise as if each small glyph had been stamped from a mold.

There appears to be something written on it.
>read page
In the Common language, it reads:
TO ARMOR

I sat on the wharfside to watch the ships pass
Their lanterns aglow in the sternsheets and masts
A pearl white sloop and a brigandine fair
Sailing to glory and honor that lasts

Their sails were as white as the sands of the Dawn
Their masts straight and proud as they reached for the stars
The brigandine showed bright new copper abaft
The sloop was lithe to sail over the bars
>read page
In the Common language, it reads:
And as I watched them, I wondered and thought
On what merry sights would the mariners find?
Where would the brigandine sail in the mists?
What would the sloop in its wanderings find?

I'll never know the answers, I guess.
I dwell in the mountains and not near the wave
But I wish luck to the brigandine crew
And wish all the luck to the sloop proud and brave.
>read page
In the Common language, it reads:
TO AN AMULET

The soldiers marched from the ruined field
Bearing away the spoils of the fight
An amulet here, a pouch of gold there
Little enough fore the close of the night.

We little remarked then, and do not so now
Who held the right in the desperate fray
An amulet's flip could be no less fair
In judging the merits of the victor that day.
>read page
In the Common language, it reads:
And in the worn devastation spread out
Before our eyes, both naked and stark
Was an amulet here or a silver piece there
Worth the destruction that greeted the dark?

But we were soldiers, and killing's our trade
So on to the next war, to the next field.
We fight not for amulets, gold or renown
For us but to conquer and never to yield.
>read page
In the Common language, it reads:
TO AN ANKLET

Twisting and turning to the beat of the drum
The colorful silks like a flock of birds fly
Rings at the fingertips, anklet so bright
With invar adorning, song to the sky

And the bells sound more merry than a gay carillon
Black with fine onyx, gentle bright sound
Comes from the anklet as the dancer glides on
Across the rough cobbles, set to the ground
>read page
In the Common language, it reads:
She danced, and she danced, and the stars made the night
Glow like a fire, illumine the trees
With radiance brighter than anklet or gem
And caressed all with joy as the darker thought flees.
>read page
In the Common language, it reads:
TO A CLOAK

I heard of an invading, vanquishing army
Sweeping across like a wildfire fed
I saw the mist cloak them, dimming the light
The only ones past them were the unnumbered dead.

With it came darkness, deeds of despite
Wrought by their swords, their curses, their hate
Nothing could cloak their inhuman advance
No God could stave off the valley's chill fate.
>read page
In the Common language, it reads:
Humans hid in their homes, while outside,
Bright spears pierced, shattering stone.
Uncountable victims spread a cloak red with blood
They died by the hundreds, they died all alone
>read page
In the Common language, it reads:
TO A SCARAB

Creeping in the shadows, the scorpion rears its sting
And in the desert midnight, its prey's last screams are known
The scarab in its place, the viper in its own
Are what Tehiri know, the perils small and grown.

For the lore of the Tehiri is a strange and chancy thing
And born of the knowledge the dunes and winds reveal
They respect the desert sun, the scarab and its sting
For those who know the desert not will be the vulture's meal.

You need the book I wrote on A Vistitor's Guide to Ta'Illistim?

I purchased a bunch of books from the merchant and I have several of the one I wrote if you want one I'll be glad to give you one. As far as a guide, it is out of date since so much has changed in Illistim since I wrote the guide years ago.

Velvette...bowcrazy

Let me know when I can find you! I would love to make a copy.

Shoot me an e-mail.

One of my item holding characters had these. Not sure if you still need any, or if they are first or second edition. Let me know, and I'll arrange to get them to you.

In the gak hide book satchel you see a silver blazestar-inset book, a snow white scarlet-crested volume, a large hammered iron book, a dice-engraved bright silver guidebook, an enamelled gold-edged guidebook, an ice grey glaes-surfaced volume, an phoenix patterned gold book, a sun and phoenix painted volume, a fox-embossed black mithril book and an obsidian rose-embossed tome.

This is a pet project of mine. I do plan on working with the old books and some new ideas sometime in the near future!
