Tome Raider: Heathen Book Gathering

You may now begin the search for five different books, all of which help Ivar learn about the discrepancies with the main religions of the world. Such texts can be difficult to acquire, look for them during searches of dungeons and crypts, or pay a visit to booksellers, such as Marcus of “Books and Scrolls” in Hierarch Square (Novigrad). However, the following locations have a guaranteed copy of each book. Return with a copy of the following:

Book: Tristianna and Isador

Location: Lindenvale, a merchant stall next to the signpost.

Items: Quest Item: Tristianna and Isador (10 Crowns)

BOOK: RELIGION AND LIFE

Location: Crow’s Perch, the merchant in question is found in the lower section of the fort, close to the bridge entrance.

Items: Quest Item: Religion and Life (10 Crowns)

Book: The Cult of Freya

Location: Electors’ Square, Novigrad. A “priest” of the Eternal Fire turns out to be an alchemist, hiding from the Redania’s and the Church’s purge of all things remotely magical. It does take some small talk to convince the man to show his wares.

Items: Quest Item: The Cult of Freya (10 Crowns)

Book: The Curious Case of Virtuous Vegga

Location: Fancy Shop Owner in Novigrad, southeast of the St. Gregory’s Bridge sign post, next to a barbershop and a Notice Board. The text this merchant possesses is among many confiscated from a fallen sorcerer, Aeramas. Other magical oddities required for other tasks can be found here, as well.
