Journals of Elkoris
The Journals of Elkoris are a mysterious set of cartographic, ethnographic, archaeological, geological, botanical, theological, and arcane writings and highly detailed maps believed to be attributed to the High Elf Elkoris Kehthelune of Lutran. Transcriptions of these texts began circulating around Jesenreth in CY 1123. The known study areas to date have included portions of territories of the known world including Itrefaulk, Sarborea, the Ketten Islands, Marbindor, Jeshos, and here-to-far unmapped and unknown areas of The Frozen Sea.
