Journal of the Botanist Chlyoris
Journal of a Botanist of Feywild, Chlyoris found in the Feywild with many notes on Flora & Fauna of Feywild.
Sas W.T. Rayce read the book in Session 58: Kobolds and Conspiracies Report and learned a bit:
If 24 hours at least are spent on studying this book there seems to be a way to learn how he was able to create gem bottles to capture living species. There is a DC to see if you can understand it, but once you do that is done. You can attempt as many times as you want.
It does look like one must have wizard or artificer capabilities.
(need to study to learn more... glassblowing/jeweler's kit proficiencies to craft them. If you have a gem available you can cast the soul gem spell on a dying creature or a sleeping one. There is a DC)
There is also notes on how a client, named Emmerick had hired him to capture the creatures (beholder, displacer beast, fomorian, ettercap, and a pixie) it also says when all are captured he is to go to Wideberth and leave a message on the job board at the Yawning portal (instructions on what should be posted). Whereas he will be met w/in 24 hours of the posting and a trade for 25,0000 gp would be made.
Purpose
Notes on many flora and fauna, as well as personal notes.
Historical Details
History
found a bag: 2 Books; a Spellbook of a Feywild Botanist and a Journal of a Botanist
Sas thinks she might want to see what Books are in the library, as well as remembers they have the Green Thumb and the Journal of a Botanist. She does find The Alchemist's Laboratory: A Guide to Brewing Potions for Profit and Adventure, (This book is more about alchemy, but there is a lot of crossover that would help as it does go into Potion brewing, different types and processes of Potion making. Over time it might show some recipes.) She didn't spend much time on the book as Shadow reminded her about the Journal, so she looked into that book which seemed more aligned. It has various notes on flora and fauna, personal notes especially about himself - Chlyoris. He is known for the bottles he has created. Chlyoris grew up in a small village, and from a young age was fascinated by the natural world around him. As he grew older, he began to take commissions to capture creatures and Plants, which he preserved in his magic jars. He has since traveled the world, seeking out new and interesting creatures and Plants to study and collect — Journal of a Botanist The book also seems to go a bit into the crystals and reading between the lines it seems possible one could use the book to create these crystals. They would need to find a lost spell called Soul Gem. It also spoke of a client, Emmerick who was the one who commissioned the creatures they found in the bag and how he was to contact the client. (There is also notes on how a client, named Emmerick had hired him to capture the creatures (beholder, Displacer Beast, Fomorian, Ettercap, and a pixie) it also says when all are captured he is to go to Wideberth and leave a Message on the job board at The Yawning Portal (instructions on what should be posted).
