Lost Tyrian Tome

---

The ink in the book has almost faded completely, and the battle it's describing has been lost to time, but the language is distinctly Tyrian. This must have found its way to Nayos eons ago. Perhaps the Astral Ward will be able to restore it.

We funneled them down into the valley, where the small remainder of our soldiers waited, shields raised. Against the flood of their army, the might of their weapons, how could we hope to win? Such was their belief, and it was only as the rocks came tumbling down upon them that they realized the land has weapons too.
