Books and Written Sources Catalog

Working list of book-like data sources in the Arden Vul vault.

Primary crosswalk: Books Title Concordance (master title list ↔ loot sheet matches).

How to use this page

  • Add new sources as soon as they show up in session notes/Discord summaries.
  • Keep each source entry brief: what it is, where it was found, why it matters.
  • Link to the canonical page if we have one; if not, leave a TODO note.
  • Mark potential duplicates so we can reconcile names later.

Canonical written sources (books, journals, scrolls)

Book repositories / source locations

Session anchors

Open cleanup / reconciliation

  • Resolve Book of Priors duplication across notes/lore pages.
  • Confirm whether Ioannes journal has one canonical page + one derived lore page, or if both should remain.
  • Add “found in session” metadata to each source page.
  • Add quick tag standard to source pages (e.g., book, journal, scroll, library-source).
