Racial History Timeline

The first set of the timeline includes when you first set foot in the new city, and there is a <[Race] Instructor>. These NPCs are out to teach you what it really means to be your race, and perhaps some history and lore, as well. There is minimal, if any, mob killing, and most of it is a "gopher" task (go for this, go for that).

The second set (broke down into three parts) is the "History of " books, offering more lore in three different sections and quests. The books are empty, and it is up to you to "find" the missing pages. Each book has three sections to recover (As in Story 1, 2, or 3) and each quest offered is to recover the missing pages within each. These must be done in order, and the reward is unlocking the next Story, and then finally a book item you can place in your home.

Each race has the starting NPC, which is found in the city you start in after you leave the Isle of Refuge (or if you skip right to the city). Neriak does not seem to have one, and thus, I am assuming neither does Kelethin, so starting races for either cities must go to their respected cities and find their race's normal starting zone. Fairyfolk have special NPCs to talk to in their respected cities.
