The leader of the Arcanum, Khedmin Boulderheart (known locally as “Boulder”) believes greatly in that knowledge is important and necessary. However, many things in the world cannot be taken at face value and must be studied, distilled, discussed, written, reviewed, and then the cycle all over again.

However, Boulder has written a few select short works on topics for the population of Brightshore to consume.

Of course, if you want to study more, you should join the Arcanum!
