 ===BOQ===
 Xundia purchased a mysterious book from Old Xoblob Shop. It is unreadable except by use of Comprehend Languages spell.
-It is written in a stilted dialect of Chondathan crudely encoded into the High Drow runic alphabet. (this would be nonmagically decipherable only by a Mage of Candlekeep, and [[npcs#Renaer]] or [[npcs#Volo]] would suggest as much)
+It is written in a stilted dialect of Chondathan crudely encoded into the High Drow runic alphabet.
-Xundia's Book Of Quests (BOQ) is actually the diary of [[malmac#Urtos III]] Phylund. Many sections are badly water damaged.
+Xundia's Book Of Quests (BOQ) is actually the diary of Urtos III [[Phylund]], which reveals [[Urtos's secret]]. Many sections are badly water damaged.
 Xundia can use a spell where each hour spent reading the book leads to a different clue or hook.
-Points 1-3 are already known by [[npcs#Renaer]] and [[npcs#Volo]]
-  -mother and "uncle Prendergast" (Aridarye's secret lover Prendergast Brokengulf.)
+  -REVEALED - mother and "uncle Prendergast" (Aridarye's secret lover Prendergast Brokengulf.), called a bastard,
-  -being called a bastard but "I know the truth"
+  -REVEALED - father's affliction - [[npcs#Renaer]] knows about Urtos' lycanthropy, and his exile to Phylund Lodge (in Ardeep Forest), but [[npcs#Volo]] like most folk believes the faked death.
-  -father's affliction - [[npcs#Renaer]] knows about Urtos' lycanthropy, and his exile to Phylund Lodge (in Ardeep Forest), but [[npcs#Volo]] like most folk believes the faked death.
+  -REVEALED - exile (following his father, Urtos III also went to [[Phylund Lodge]].
-  -my exile (following his father, Urtos III also went to [[Phylund Lodge]] but found nothing.) Nobody knows this but Renaer might figure it out.
+  -REVEALED crypts with sketches of werewolf and Malar symbols
-  -crypts and a family curse (Urtos III came to beleive that lycanthrope ran in the family bloodline)
-  -sketches of werewolf and Malar symbols (which many Clerics would recognize)
+At this point the book becomes more "poetic"
-  -supposedly there was a tribe of panther-men, followers of Malar, near the ruins of Tamoachan in the jungles of Chult (TftYP p61)
+tucked between the pages is a Silver Ring of Silvering. The following are all revealed in Episode 17.
-    - Renaer, or any sailor in the port, can suggest that the best route to Chult is to sail from Waterdeep to Mintarn then south to Chult, and be sure to bypass the pirate-infested Nelanther Isles and the Tethyr Peninsula
-    * (only a Mage of Candlekeep or a more local Shaman knows the rough location of Tamoachan in South Maztica)
+  *wild natures, as well as the grace and amorality of predators.
-  -Werewolves of Barovia (Ravenloft p201)
+  *revered among druid circles as the hunger and hunting instinct of beasts
-    * a small and ancient kingdom in Faerûn, located inland from the Sword Coast, where the river Iblis met the Svalich Woods.
+  *hunting, stalking, bloodlust, and bestial savagery
-DotMM, and Candlekeep
+  *spurn The Balance of nature that druids and other nature
+  *deities sought to uphold
+  *Beastlord was the epitome of the dark, bloody side of nature
+  *It is ever the way of nature that the strongest should rule.
