The land of Ancaria, has many writers, poets and drawers. Their work can be seen in the pages of Books that enemies leave behind as lucky spoils for fortunate victors.  The knowledge in these books range from recipes on how to construct a perfect llama goulash, to why smelling proper while hunting is important. Rich glimpses into the history of Ancaria and advice offered on skilled spell-casting, the history of T-Energy, and how to set table for Orcs, and many, many other subjects are all a part of Ancaria's literary heritage.
