[QUOTE="Wik, post: 5379189, member: 40177"] Some quick ideas. 1. On the Origin Of Species. In real life, a book that created the theory of evolution that rocked the victorian world. In D&D, I think it'd be a great idea for a book to suggest that gods didn't create the world, and that orcs and elves were biologically related could be a lot of fun. Imagine the fallout! Paladins could no longer kill orc babies! 2. The Dictionary: Lexical texts are hugely important, at least for the spread of language. I could see a really neat adventure as two book printers try to be the first to publish a dictionary, and thus codify their language. Monarchs and nobles could get involved as well, all trying to put their stamp on language itself. 3. The Epic of Gilgamesh: An epic poem that has influenced greek myth, parts of the old testament, and human thoughts on mortality. In a game sense, it could be one of those tales everyone grows up hearing - the idea of a hero ultimately doomed to failure. It could almost be the sort of thing PCs, as heroes, would treat as a bunch of "Trade secrets". [/QUOTE]
