Book Names in a Library

[mseds99]

Howdy y'all,

I'm running the party through a noble's home that has a private library. Invariably, the party is going to ask the name of every book in the place, especially the wizard. So, if you could, please post generic names of books, possibly with a brief description, that could be found in any library . The noble's home is located in the city of Thentia on the Moonsea in the FR, so any names specific to the area would be cool too.

Muchas gracias to all, because I'm HORRIBLE at coming up with stuff like this on the fly.

Have you seen the page of generators? Here's the books:

Check out the other ones, too- the generators are lots of fun and can be very useful.

*EVERY* library needs a copy of Shocking Tales of Elven Desire

I like what Raymond E. Feist did with one wizard's library. There were like 10 or 12 volumes just entitled "Magic". Something like "A History of the Moonsea" would always be good too. "[Insert name here]'s Travels", stuff like that.

Wow, I asked this same question a week ago and didn't get this kind of help. I guess they hate me

Well, I was going to post a response, but now that I see Dagger here I don't think I will. Hehe, only kidding.

I found a list of 150-200 book titles in the back of the Kingdoms of Kalamar adventure called Birthright.
