The Jonstown Compendium is a
series of Books kept in the Lhankor Mhy temple in Jonstown.
It consists of scraps of material that various scribes
have thought worth recording over the years. These scraps
have been culled from the minds of great philosophers
, collected from the fantastic memories of tribal scalds
and lawspeakers, ad translated from various odd scrolls
and ancient parchments. Each entry is gathered and listed,
one after another without order, meaning or editorial
labor.
Each entry begins with a number.
Sometimes a title of sorts begins an entry, wherein
the author or redactor identifies himself. One
entire volume contains a single entry over 250 pages
in length, but most of them list hundreds of individual
pieces of information. Some of the volumes contain amzing
amounts of dross and trivia and since it is not indexed
it is often hard to find valuable pieces of information
that someone might be looking for.
The first of these extracts is
in the Jonstown Compendium. The second is not and was
only obtained from a ex-Priestess of Sedenya after she
turned her back on the Red Moon to become a Priestess
of the White Moon.
The third extract is #56, 852
from the Jonstown Compendium. It was found by Daranor
Thyll, Grey Sage of Lhankor Mhy whilst searching
the Jonstown Compendium for further details on the first
fragament. This document details notes on a secret society
originally formed during the EWF called the Living Dragon
society.
His extensive research also turned up two
other curious documents, which are included here as
#91, 1365 and #129, 1261. The first of these is a fragment
of parchment from a Sage in Blackwell detailing a discussion
on the legacy of the EWF.
The second of these is a rather
obscure document on the supposed Mimarian Memory Removal
technique used during the Dragonkill War. Though
the sage in question tried to hide his research the
Grey Sages in Jonstown decided that they did not want
to lose this fragment and included it in the Jonstown
Compendium.
