The book of Dellanil Quil'quien was an ancient tome containing the writings of Dellanil Quil'quien, an elf king of Shilmista and one of the forest's legendary heroes.[1]

Description[]

It was bound in black leather and inscribed with the high elven runes for 'D', 'Q', 'q'. The tome was locked by a snap.[1]

The Dellanil Quil'quien contained arcane writings, using old elven symbols.[1][2]

There was an account of how King Dellanil Quil'quien awakened the trees of Shilmista and how the elves crushed an invading force of goblins with the help of the trees.[3] This was also, not a simple spell, but a calling to awaken the powers of the forest.[4]

History[]

Cadderly Bonaduce found the tome in a deserted cave in the Daoine Dune in the Year of Maidens, 1361 DR.[1] A dream, or more a vision finally helped Cadderly to understand and translate the ancient writings.[5]

Cadderly and Elbereth, the elven prince of Shilmista, recited the words of the summons at Sildritch Trea and awakened a couple of ancient oaks to help conquer the orcish, goblinoid, and giant forces of the ogrillon Ragnor and free Shilmista once again.[6]
