The Spiritual Balance: Yokai & Mortals by Tetsuro Wulf
Tetsuro Wulf’s Spiritual Balance: Yokai & Mortals is a reflective spiritual guide centered on harmony between mortals, spirits, yokai, and the unseen forces that connect them. Written from the perspective of a priest, the book explores inner spiritual practices such as chakra alignment, Zen, and mindfulness before expanding into the wider philosophy of coexistence in the Far East. It introduces readers to animism, the nature of kami, and the distinctions between yokai, framing them as complex presences shaped by memory, imbalance, duty, and the natural world. Throughout, Tetsuro argues that balance is not the absence of conflict, but the active work of understanding, honoring, and restoring harmony across realms. The book ultimately serves as both a spiritual teaching text and a call to compassion, encouraging readers to see spirits and yokai not as invaders, but as neighbors worthy of recognition, care, and respectful boundaries.

P.S. <3 by H. Grail
A telling of a life through photographs of notes written on various types of paper, from bar napkins of a sleazy venue, to scribbled on the pages of an academic tome, to graffiti on an outdoor wall, to a love letter unsent. All are moments of the life within; happy, sad, loving, heartbreak, joy, achievements, and ending on a high note of happiness found. At the end, through a photograph taken of lipstick on a bathroom mirror, the author reveals that the book was an autobiography all along.

You Asked For a Swordsman by Arielle C. Alvoix
A brief 'survival guide' of sorts, marketed towards female readers in Eorzea and beyond who have an interest in becoming a mercenary or, if they are already working as one, learning how to improve their performance and reputation, as well as enduring the stereotypes and ridicule that come with it. The book is divided in twelve sections, each addressing scenarios that women will possibly (or definitely) encounter during their time in the sellsword industry, including (but not limited to) promotion to leadership, having to use charisma and charm to assist on a job, the long-term physical and mental 'wear and tear' on the body, as well as a variety of methods in leaving the career should they find their mercenary guild more attached to her than she thought.

Aetheric Mutations: A Treatise on the Evolution, Prevalence, and Motivations of Whisperworms by Darcy Dumas
A very dry academic tome that explores the idea that the pesky whisperworms that plague Ishgard’s water supply have mutated into something far more nefarious than a simple parasite thanks to aetheric corruption. Are they nothing more than madness inducing worms or are they out to infiltrate and control the House of Lords? Darcy Dumas, author of The Guiding Light is here to help you answer those questions.A Vampiric History of Ishgard: Volume I by Darcy Dumas
This rather unique history book explores the genealogy of four lesser noble houses, arguing that each house has been ruled by the same undead creature for centuries and that the act of passing title from father to son has been nothing more than a ruse. Volume I focuses on Houses Droste, Fierlaine, Lovelace, and Archambeau. The author promises a second and third volume in the future, should this first not satiate your vampiric curiosity.

Nymian Politics: Power Structures in Play During the War of the Magi by Orion Arianelle
A restructuring of the author’s Archon Mark dissertation, Nymian Politics dissects the power struggles between Nym, Mhach, and Amdapor at the peak of the Fifth Astral Era and the Mar of the Magi. Written using all the research and knowledge available in Sharlayan before the Calamity, it looks largely at the mysterious state of Nym and its targeted status alongside Amdapor as the only standouts against the power of Mhach. It outlines everything then known about the inner workings of its political structures, comparing and contrasting them with the other two city-states. It also speculates about the War and its primary goals, and puts that into perspective with the author’s own opinions about the end state of the War and the Sixth Umbral Calamity.Nymian Discovery: The Secrets of the Floating Ruins by Orion Arianelle
A recounting of the revolutionary discoveries about the City of Nym and its inhabitants uncovered since the Calamity and the start of the Seventh Astral Era. Written by an archaeologist and dig lead in the Bronze Lake area, this book details many of the items and areas of interest discovered in the Floating City of Nym, along with stories of discovery. It even includes a second-hand account of the involvement of the renowned Warrior of Light at the site and their impact on recent Nymian study. A fascinating look at a growing area of research in the field of historical archaeology.

A Xaela's Journey into Eorzea by C. AmiticiaA biography of sorts, where acclaimed author of the Naranbataar Quicksilver mysteries reflects on his journey from being a refugee of Doma to becoming a rapidly rising name in Ishgardian publication.

The Realm Lost in Shadow by K.M.
A Treatise on Voidsent and the Case for Their Humanity | 'This essay is an attempt at recounting the tale of the realm known as the Void. It tells of their history before it's corruption, the plight of the peoples therein, as well as documented interviews with various voidsent themselves of different backgrounds in order to further support the author's stance. The Void was once a realm full of life, love, and countless dreams that has been subsumed by darkness. The author endeavors to show that this realm does not warrant the visceral enmity it receives from the larger population of our world and that instead, understanding and perhaps even peace can be made between them.'

Umbral Soul by K.M.
A series of portraits and short stories from various voidsent encounters. Each story is told without embellishment, yet with the person's identity preserved. Portraits are included with explicit consent of the sources. This book is a follow up on the author's previous work, The Realm Lost in Shadow. It is naught more than a retelling of memories and experiences, all dutifully recorded. Some tales may be more difficult to read than others. Caution on the part of the reader is advised.

Aetheric Cooking Vol.1 by K.M.
A book of recipes with accompanying hand-drawn images of them. The recipes are meant to aid those who are unable to easily regenerate their own aether through normal means. One may also utilize aether in varying amounts to add an extra layer of culinary delight to your cooking.

Covenants of the Dying by Thassalus Colchis
Attributed to Thassalus Colchis during his years serving within the ossuaries of Ul'dah under the alias Banu Anahita.A nonfiction that examines the theological and arcane covenants formed between mortals and entities that dwell beyond the veil of death.It draws from forbidden Mhachi knowledge, voidsent testimonies extracted through blood-rites, and translated temple records predating the Sixth Umbral Calamity. Thassalus argues that death is not an ending, but a contractual threshold. The dying soul, according to his argument, emits a form of aetheric vulnerability through which gods, voidsent, and other extranormal intelligences may bargain.The text categorizes these “covenants” into thirteen known forms, ranging from benign ancestral pacts to parasitic occupations mistaken for sainthood. Of particular controversy is the author’s insistence that primals themselves are merely refined manifestations of covenantal hunger; gods shaped not by divinity, but by collective desperation and sacrifice.Though publicly denounced by the Order of Nald’thal, copies continue to circulate among thaumaturges, reapers, and forbidden circles within Sharlayan under heavily censored editions.

Mandates on Mortality by Banu Anahita
Written under the alias Banu Anahita and distributed widely among merchants and mortuary officials in Ul'dah before later revisions were banned.A philosophical treatise concerning the balance of life, death, labor, and commerce beneath the judgment of Nald’thal. Banu argues that mortality itself is the foundation upon which civilization acquires meaning.The work controversially reframes capitalism not as greed, but as an extension of sacred funerary balance. Coin changes hands as blood changes bodies; circulation is holiness. Stagnation, whether of wealth, memory, or aether, is described as a form of spiritual rot akin to necromancy.Entire chapters are dedicated to the ethics of resurrection magicks, inheritance law, and the monetization of death rites within Ul'dahn society. Critics accused the book of justifying exploitation through theology, while supporters praised it as one of the few coherent attempts to reconcile thaumaturgy, commerce, and divine law in the modern age.Its final chapter, "On the Value of a Soul Unspent", ends abruptly mid-sentence in all surviving copies.

Names of the Undying by Thassalus Colchis
An unfinished lexicon compiled by Thassalus Colchis documenting entities believed to persist beyond proper death.Part historical record, part invocation manual, the text catalogs saints who would not decay, kings buried without aetherial dissolution, voidsent capable of retaining identity after destruction, and unnamed beings discovered through portal experimentation beneath ancient ruins in Ilsabard and the South Sea isles.Each entry includes known titles, manifestations, favored sacrifices, associated symbols, and “threshold conditions” under which contact becomes possible.Modern scholars debate whether these refer to actual entities or the progressive deterioration of the author’s mind.

Mastery of Curses by Thassalus Colchis
An unfinished lexicon compiled by Thassalus Colchis documenting entities believed to persist beyond proper death.Part historical record, part invocation manual, the text catalogs saints who would not decay, kings buried without aetherial dissolution, voidsent capable of retaining identity after destruction, and unnamed beings discovered through portal experimentation beneath ancient ruins in Ilsabard and the South Sea isles.Each entry includes known titles, manifestations, favored sacrifices, associated symbols, and “threshold conditions” under which contact becomes possible.Modern scholars debate whether these refer to actual entities or the progressive deterioration of the author’s mind.

A Treatise of Orders of Gods by Banu Anahita
Published publicly under the name Banu Anahita. It was later condemned by multiple religious authorities.The work repeatedly challenges the distinction between primals and legitimate deities, suggesting that mortals invented the separation merely to justify which powers society permits itself to worship.Particularly inflammatory are the chapters concerning Nald’thal. Banu argues the Traders and the Order misunderstood their own patron; that Nald’thal does not preside over wealth because commerce is virtuous, but because all existence operates through exchange. Life purchases death. Empires purchase survival through blood. Even the gods themselves are beholden to transaction.Though condemned by several religious authorities, the treatise continued to circulate among Sharlayan scholars and forbidden circles for its meticulous study of ancient cults, summoning practices, and the transactional nature of faith itself.

The Terrible Might of the Gods: Lunar Deification and the Pains of the Seventh Umbral Calamity by Uyanga Kagon
An ethnographic account regarding lunar deification across Hydaelyn.The author writes of her time immersed amongst a tribe of Keepers of the Moon in the Twelveswood, learning their daily customs and experiencing their faith over the course of several months.During her observation, she examines the difficulties presented by Gridanian policy, the environmental stressors caused by Dalamud's Fall, and the religious evolution of the tribe in light of these events.

Trauma and the Aetheric Body: Case Studies by Astreux Voeviere de Durendaire
A series of case studies of various soldiers, many left anonymous, who served during the Dragonsong War and showed signs of aetheric imbalance. Included are charts and diagrams of the aetheric body, both of assorted "healthy" subjects, and those with imbalances after fierce battles, as well as any treatments which were applied to those cases, with varying results and levels of success. There is, in one of the indexes, a survey of the aetheric composition of various foods served commonly in the infirmaries of Coerthas, along with some analysis of how they might help or hinder in the healing process.The Long-term Affect of Trauma on the Aetheric Soul: From Fallen Soldiers to Haunted Swords by Astreux Voeviere de Durendaire
An extensive analysis of aetheric shifts in populations and locations effected by war, with chapters focusing on noted battlefields, their aetheric state before the battle, and after the battle. There is a three chapter section on the Ghimlyt Dark, including charts of aetheric scans taken at the site. Notably, there is also a chapter on hauntings, how they are just residual aether, and what could be taken as a rant about how ghosts do not actually exist. How this slipped past the editor, no one knows.Aetheric Machinery: A Comparison of Allagan Engineering and Modern Magitek by Astreux Voeviere de Durendaire
A book only recently released to the public, as the vast libraries of the Vault in Ishgard were moved out to less restricted places. Inside are extensive notes on Allagan technology and the way they utilize aether, schematics and theories all packaged together, large swaths of it focusing on Azys Lla itself. The examples of Magitek are entirely from wreckages of Garlean machinery on battlefields left behind after their first attempted invasion of Coerthas, and is colored with scathing critiques of the "brutalist, hamfisted bastardization of elegant Allagan designs". This book was obviously never intended for public consumption, yet somehow found its way out.

A Brief History of Ossuaries by Djinn
This book compiles the list of known and past Ossuaries active in the known world, as well as those of rumored history. It details the burial rites used, the songs sung, and the last thoughts of the last person buried there. Its title in the introduction is 'A Historical Treatise on the Repercussions of Flesh', but some editor or bookbinder has titled it differently.The Architecture of Silence by Djinn
The book claims that it will provide its reader with all the 'Steps' necessary to achieve a perfectly sized room for any purpose whatsoever. It then proceeds to make references to elaborate rituals for mourning not people but places, appealing to 'The Crossroads' for precise measurements that are differente very time the book is read.The House That Loved Its Dead by Djinn
This claims to be a nonfictional book of a former Noble House of a long-lost Kingdom. Its flag was a torn banner of pure black 'soaked in Widow's Tears', and its motto was 'What is Loved Shall be Kept'. It tells its history from its founding member, Aurelius Mortain, and his ventures in battle which rendered unto him the nickname of 'The Persistence'. The family's ever-growing bizarre behavior began with the first major loss they suffered at the Battle of the Long Morgue, and the rituals started by Lady Everkeep. Its last known surviving member is rumored to have gone to the family crypts to perform the rituals, and never returned.Music Heard Beneath The Earth by Djinn
Each chapter of this book is titled after a location, some of them being 'Lut Gholein', 'Malebolge', 'Fólkvangr', 'A'raf' and 'Elysium', all of which come with specific directions to enter. None off the directions are useful, because it only lists names of people who are already dead, as it also lists the time of death in a unit defined as 'Rot'. The description of each location is given in a dreamlike quality that makes it hard to focus on specific details, but it inspires a picture of each.

Fallen into Night - Poem Collection One by K. Martakh
I. Ikigai | Dawn
• A Collection of fifty traditional poems and haikus about the beginnings of life, when the sun first begins to kiss the sky after spending all night warming the moon and helping it shine. To greet the day, to chase after the spectrum of colors, seize the moment, and savor every golden hue. It speaks of letting go of the day before, but not forgetting the lessons it taught you. There are five in this volume about silly subjects meant to invoke laughter, such as a dog chasing the sun and a child who attempts to trap the sun, etc.II. Ikigai | Noon
• A collection sixty poems & short stories. Less Haikus, but it seems to be when everything is at its brightest. There are skills to learn and places to be. People to meet and have met. A few clouds threaten to take over the borders on a few pages. Small and gray, almost with a sheen to them as if slightly metallic. Tales of impatience and waiting for the night to settle in when the stars shine and darkness looks so glamourous...However, there are things to be done while the sun is high.III. Ikigai | Afternoon
• A shorter volume with only thirty poems that seem to flow talking about sweet drinks and even sweeter kisses. Appreciation for the incoming night, sweet dreams, and sealed deals..However, the poems seem to take a sudden turn in tone..The last one seems unfinished and there's a purposeful LARGE splotch on the last page...And a few drips..The last verse leaves the reader completely confused.IV. Ikigai | Storm
• The second shortest volume in the series that details possibly fictional characters that are missing limbs, left to die completely at random and by surprise. When the the lightning strikes...There's another body and a sick smile. The script is almost illegible in spots, but can be read in just the right light or some say. There seems to a new writer? Or is the old one changing? Has their life taken a dark turn? There is a weight on their shoulders and the day seems like it's never coming..V. Ikigai | Consumed
• The shortest volume as it's a collection of haikus. The entire volume is just dark and broody. There seems to be disjointed thoughts and almost two people battling to let their voice be heard. One is a cry for help, the other seeks to snuff it out, and an innocent pays the price. A few pages have red lining their edges...What was once bright and promising is now shrouded in darkness and blood? Something is hungry and everyone is a target.Editions: Originally in Hingan, later translated to Common, and then recently translated to Ishgardian.

A Prayer for Those Who Cannot Hear It by Djinn
A single scroll written on a papyrus. To unroll it, the person is instructed to 'Manifest the Waking' - it does not open all the time to most who wish to read it. Within it, there is a highly lurid poem entreating the process of death as something romantic, and the tragedy of it going unburied as an uneloped, unrequited event where 'lips tremble with undirged songs, the flesh buried unrequited; in the bosom of our wrongs.'

Librum Appocalyptica Countara by The Veiled Librarian

A spellbook detailing both vampiric and necromantic spells that use Hemomancy as their base. It seems to be based entirely upon another existing spellbook that details the basics of Hemomancy, but that book is missing...Librum Chronos Temporalis by The Veiled Librarian
A spellbook that details how to caste spells that allow one's allies to move far faster then normal by distorting time. It also has a 283 page thesis statement of why distortion is the only safe time manipulation and why time travel at it's basic form is either impossible, or so dangerous that it is essentially impossible.Librum Arcane Primus by The Veiled Librarian
A book that is a detailed and fairly complex introduction to runic magic, the manipulation of Aether through words in a language with the base power to change reality. As daunting as it seems at it's core, the author takes great pains and includes many examples of exactly how to use this spellcraft to cause effectively the same types of effects that Black mages normally can do, but with far more streamlined casting processes, at the risk of exploding if you mess up the words.Librum Arcane Secundus by The Veiled Librarian
A book that is a follow up of another volume, this time going into detail of how to try to develop new phrases for their spellcraft, and best practices for testing these new phrases with as little risk to yourself as possible.

A Treatise on the Preservation of Memory by Djinn
A complex work of formulaic annotations regarding the differences between 'The Veil' and 'The Silence'. From it, spellcasters can gauge a series of admirably strange spells that grant percipience or some manners of strange speech. The book insists, however, all these theories lead to a complete and perfect manner of the storage of memory in perfectly eternal vessels.

Classique by K. Martakh

Songs for the Unburied by Djinn
The rather simplistic listing of songs bear no introduction, which is a different style from the author's usual faire. Instead it details, where it can, the accompanying notes to some parts of the songs, and its lyrics. The vast majority of songs are completely unheard of, and the list of them include 'Bessech thee The Silence', 'Ballad to Rests-in-Peace', and 'Psalm of the Dispensations of Rot'
