Books Timeline

Sage Indis Surion in the mage tower in South Qeynos and Sage Navarius Orvalis in the Academy of Arcane Science in The City of Freeport sell numerous books that give quests. The reward is a copy of the book that can be placed in your home. Each sage used to only sell some of the books, but now all the books are for sale in both Qeynos and Freeport.

History of the Races of Norrath
These are the race-specific quest series started by books sold by the Sages in each city. These are 3-part quests, the third quest producing a book house item. All quests do not require killing anything, however; They may lead you into dangerous areas that would perhaps put killing to your favor.

Races that are welcome in either city only have one quest to complete, (no good book/bad book), so there is no need to worry about going to the opposing city to find another quest or book.

Recommended level is shown in parentheses.
