Octegistus' Lexikon

Sedambrino, the Childish found a book in the old tomb, being helpful for translating some Languages. It has a stylized tonge on its cover. It was authored by the sorcerer Octegistus for the purpose of educating an apprentice named Fife it contains tables to translate a few languages; Protocommon, Elder Sylvan, and The Old Tongue which is referred to throughout the tomb as "Visirian".

There seems to be a personal note added at the back congratulating Fife for an undisclosed victory at a place called The Verdant Keep.

A conversation about the tomb & the verdant keep with the Newmaker-nomads led to the following:

The Nomads seems extremely surprised and taken off guard when you bring up the tomb and the verdant keep. They take you to an elder who recounts to you a centuries old tale of a chiefs son turned and twisted into a skeletal horror by demonic sorceries. The son was supposedly buried in a tomb that matches the description you gave them Along with the son was lost a powerful yet cursed weapon. A great spear known as The Howling Lance”. The nomads offer to take you to the verdant keep personally if you would retrieve this howling lance. Otherwise the elder tells you that the keep can be found within a sylvan forest some ways southeast just before the forest reaches the desert, though its entrance is ensorcelled with illusory magics
