Book of the Orchids
The Book of the Orchids, also known as the Book of Orchids, is a very important piece of Elwynnese Lore which originates from Treesia and was written by Sagart Siskind. It details the Creation of the Universe and the History of the World focusing on the Gods and other supernatural beings of the Treesian Unorthodox faith.
In the Flower of the North, the Book of the Orchids is nowadays universally considered by any and all members of the Elwynnese Nation to be authentically and eternally Elwynnese – in spite of there being no shortage of evidence to the contrary.
