History
The full seven-volume Catalogue was written by the Savant-Sage and is speculated to have detailed nearly every aspect of life in the Flanaess in ages past.
Lost for several centuries,[1] a copy of the Savant-Sage's encyclopedic work was discovered in an illithid's cave in the Riftcanyon, and brought to the Royal University of Rel Mord where it was studied by Pluffet Smedger the Elder. Over "several decades"[1] Smedger compiled a glossography to accompany each volume, updating and expanding it with more contemporary information.
Only the third volume (this book) of the Savant-Sage's encyclopedia and Smedger's accompanying glossography still exist.[1]
