The Elysian Manuscript is an aged tome that is rumored to contain a secret set of coordinates. It's primary author was Raban Maur.
The item is the subject of the mission Elysian Secrets.
The priceless, lost volume of ancient Arcanist knowledge. Finding the manuscript would bring wide acclaim and many have conducted obsessive, failed searches.
"I spent a year poring over old documents, hoping that I could be the one to bring the manuscript's wisdom back to the world. All my searching was fruitless, and I chose to surrender and accept that it would never be found. We must all grow up sometime, and shed our childish notions."
– Arcanist Dac Semper
Excerpts from the Manuscript[]
The Arcanist's first obligation is to humanity. We seek knowledge, so that it may cast light into shadowed corners, and bring order to chaos. Thus, I have compiled my work and that of esteemed colleagues into this manuscript, hoping that it proves useful to all in solving the brilliant, vexing puzzle of our world. May your path always lead you to a greater understanding.  |
In our explorations, we discovered a class of Shaper instrument, which we now refer to as the Complecting Inciter. This instrument was often attached to a construct as a modifier, augmenting or multiplying the effect of the base construct. Removing the Inciter from the attached construct often resulted in unforeseen consequences. In one case, the Arcanist leading the expedition found himself able to perceive events occurring in four places simultaneously. In another, a nearby wolven was struck by a stray bolt of energy and grew a second head. Observing Arcanists were almost as confused by the development as the affected wolven.
Research on Complecting Inciters and their safe usage is ongoing. Currently, we have focused our efforts on a stable inciter located within a large Shaper structure in Bastion. |
