Overview

There are three magical tomes or books that hold great sway with the three elven races. These books are... The book of Pasts, kept and guarded by the Hill elves. The book of Present, kept and guarded by the Forrest elves The book of Yet, kept and guarded by the Cave elves. These three books are rumored to show the three facets of elven destiny, with each showing what was, is, or will be. The exact location of these three books within the elven societies is the closest of secrets, and no elf will betray their location, and the only way the three elven races will ever join and band together as one, would be if one or all of these books became in danger of falling into another races or being hands. The three books are in fact artifacts whose exact age is really unknown. Rumor aside what is known as fact about the books is very little, as no non-elf has ever seen them, thus some sages and others claim that these books do not exist, but are just spurious claims made by the elves to gain prestige and sway. However the elves have claimed the following of them.

The three books each have a conscious, are intelligent, and have an awareness. They will exert their will over anyone that stands within 20 feet of them. They cannot move on their own, but will generally choose one individual to be the one to move them where the book itself wants to go. There is no known way that one of these books can become damaged, as the elves in legend and rumor claim that the books cannot be destroyed by any normal means. The exact powers of the books are actually unknown, but it is rumored that each book will show its reader, if it decides they are worthy, the following:
