Thanks for the heads-up, and for not abandoning us!

Um... it's not some 50-line poem that leads us to idols scattered all over Norrath which, when brought together, create the key to finding the book, is it?

I agree, i don't think that would be nice

Okay so... here's what happened.

Basically, I wrote up this clue for you guys, and I was going to post it as text.  But when I showed it to community, we thought, "You know, it would be cooler if we presented it to them like this!" like a full pic all colored out and awesome looking.  "YEAH!" we thought.  "That'll be way better than lame old text!"

So here's the moral to the story:  If you're going to have a bright idea, plan it for the day BEFORE you're supposed to give your loyal readers a piece of information they are looking for.  All right, important safety tip, thanks Egon.

Anyway, it looks like it is still coming tonight, and by Brell's beard, I'm staying here until I get it, and I will post it immediately.  If there is a change in plans and it won't be tonight, I will post and tell you that, too, so at least you know when to expect it.

I'm really sorry that it's taken so long, but lesson learned.  Hopefully you like what we're putting together, and have a good time doing the small event we put together for you. 

I have to say this.  The love and care you are giving to both the story of Everquest as well as its players is absolutley amazing.  Your dedication to this project can already be seen shinning through and its not even released yet.  I can not wait to see what you have come up with and just please know that your hard work defitantly does not go under appreaciated!  Thanks again for keeping us updated.  SMILEY

Haha, that might help.  It's a new sticky topic.  I guess it's probably best not to have you quest to find your umm... quest.  ;-D

This is all I have been able to figure out so far. I have taken liberties were I am certain of a word(s).

Cronyn's PICTURE HINT TRANSLATED: ______'s indicate unknown sections - words or letters -  with ideas for what should be there in ()'s if applicable

To my fellow learned sages,

It is with much rejoicing that I have discovered writing and ______ (runes) lost since before the Shattering. I believe of im____e (immense) importance mainly to learning more about the past of Norrath, but also may have the key to discovering more about the fate of my ancestral home, the ______ (continent) of Odus.

          However, I believe I have also uncovered a deeper mystery, one with potentially grim implications.  It seems that some of our assumptions of the fate of Odus, and of the E___tes  th__s, may be shrouded within a veil of deception. I can ___ (not) believe, but ______s that there  _________ be lea__ (leaped to) here.

          Although ___as (I was) able to deceive _________lians of The _________nd, I believe that my very life could be in jeopardy. Thus, I must do as I can to retain my anonymity.  The tome that I am seeking should be copied and given to the people of Norrath, but not entirely so. If the Qu___(Queen or Queen’s) ___s (sages or advisors?)  __is ___r (discover?) that this information is getting out, then they may close t__ds (the roads?) and ___ll (none will) learn of the important facts.

          I ___d you   __e (__le?) ot_____mes (more than 1 word) ___n (more than 1 word) de__r (despair) th__   I   have uncovered (or discovered) another  possible   v__e   n___   t____ront (2 words?) __the (of the?) ___ult (result), and will attempt to glean what  I can from it.  Should I be discovered, I will have my no____ ___ (notes within or notebooks in?) the t_m_ (tome?) but ___l (will or all?) su__en___it (1 or 2 words?)   w___?__ a    __mpor__l      ___bb_e.

          In order to reveal the notes, you will need a piece of a mineral that can disrupt special    ___la__vity.  I believe that such a mineral  exists on  Norrath in small quantities, and may have been experimented on by none other than Varsoon himself as  he researched an item of po__n___n (more than 1 word) as the ___win___ack (more than one word)   __to__ .    Seek out this item, and it  should allow you to break my spell.

          I will contact you again once I have more for you, although I cannot be sure when that might be. Until then, be w__ (wary) as those who with this information hid__ (hide)  ___mi__t (and might)   be____ (befall)  around you.

          Sincerely, An E__eme __    T__le___ue

Ok, a new version of translation. My sister, Miracle, helped me to see more unknown words.

To my fellow learned sages,

It is with much rejoicing that I have discovered writing and maps lost since before the Shattering. I believe of immense importance mainly to learning more about the past of Norrath, but also may have the key to discovering more about the fate of my ancestral home, the continent of Odus.

          However, I believe I have also uncovered a deeper mystery, one with potentially grim implications.  It seems that some of our assumptions of the fate of Odus, and of the Erudites  th___s (2 words?), may be shrouded within a veil of deception. I cannot believe (or be sure), but ______s that there  _________ be learned here.

          Although I was able to deceive the Quellithulians of The Vault of El’arad, I believe that my very life could be in jeopardy. Thus, I must do as I can to retain my anonymity.  The tome that I am sending should be copied and given to the people of Norrath, but not entirely so. If the Queen’s  ___s (sages or guards?) discover that this information is getting out, then they may close the roads and none will learn of the important facts.

          I ____d you the other tomes  that can decipher this.  I have discovered another  possible   v__e   near the front of the vault, and will attempt to glean what  I can from it.  Should I be discovered, I will hide my notes within the tome, but will suspend it  within  a  temporal bubble.

          In order to reveal the notes, you will need a piece of a mineral that can disrupt special    ___la__vity.  I believe that such a mineral  exists on  Norrath in small quantities, and may have been experimented on by none other than Varsoon himself as  he researched an item of power known as the glowing black stone. Seek out this item, and it  should allow you to break my spell.

          I will contact you again once I have more for you, although I cannot be sure when that might be. Until then, be wary as those who wish this information hidden might be all around you.

          Sincerely, An Esteemed Colleague

Does anyone know what the parts are that I can't figure out? And when does this book come out anyway? When I read the "I found something thread" it seems like it is already here. Any enlightenment would be appreciated.

The book is in-game already, and the exact method for obtaining it are in the "I found something..." thread stickied to the top of this forum. If you still can't find it shoot me a PM on the forums here, or even an in-game tell @ Eandiil.LucanDLere

Go to Vaults of El'urad, click on a pedastal to the left of the zone door, and go to the library in the cities.
