Book
Books are collections of factual, historical, or personal writings. Letters and journals are also considered books. Books can be found in many different locations including: cities and towns, libraries, and even in otherwise abandoned places.
Most books found throughout Tyria are static interactive objects and players may have limited interaction with them. Other books exist as weapons and trinkets, or just mentioned to exist in lore.
