Tanya's Old Book Collections

Old Book Volume 1
"Birth of Rune Cannons"

"When Rune Cannons appeared, previous combat methods became entirely
ineffective, and naval battles have never been the same since then."

"Rune Cannons were first identified approximately 15 years ago. It is
held that the fleet affiliated with Middleport possessed them. Even now,
there is no way to obtain them except at Middleport."

"Rune Magic is sealed into spheres called Rune Shells, and it's power
is instantly magnified, then fired by passing it through a lens-like
cannon. The larger Rune Shells are said to even have the power to
destroy a ship with one single shot."

"The components needed to construct Rune Shells are currently unknown."

"There is even a theory that the material was summoned from another
world by a wizard with extraordinary summoning spells."

"At first glance, this theory seems nonsensical, but it is also true
that reports of strange creatures appearing and attacking ships began
to surface around this time."

"It may mean that these two phenomena are somehow related."


Old Book Volume 2
"Lives of Pirates"

"The rods jutting out
to the front and the back"

"Due to their outlandish
appearance, pirate ships
came to be commonly
called "Six Masts" and
greatly feared."

"Edgar
The man called the
Pirate King
Lived on the sea,
Died on the sea."

"Brandeau
The man who was once
Edgar's partner.
However, after Edgar's
death, he changed greatly.
He is feared as the man
who invites death."

"Kika
A pirate who sails among
the Island Nations. She has
many allies, but also many
enemies due to the fact
that she is hostile towards
Cray Trading Company.
It is said that the thing she
wears around her neck is
Pirate King Edgar's second
cervical vertebrae.
It seems she is currently
in pursuit of Brandeau."


Old Book Volume 3
"Man-Hunting Incident"

"A grievous incident that once occured on the border between the
Scarlet Moon Empire and the Kooluk Empire will be recorded here."

"Years of conflict lay between the Scarlet Moon Empire and the Kooluk
Empire, and for a long time, they would carve away at each other's strength."

"However, the Scarlet Moon Empire made a proposal, and both sides
settled on a truce for an indefinite period of time."

"Amidst this situation, there was a faction of nobles on the Scarlet
Moon side who could not suppress their raging blood."

"They had gained distinction in the war against the Kooluk and it is
said that they grew impatient with the truce. Soon, their agitation took
the form of 'hunting'."

"They attacked small villages along the border, one after another. It
is said that when they did, they disguised themselves as Kooluk Troops."

"Perhaps due to this, for a long time this series of incidents was
percieved to be over border disputes."

"Finally, having found out the true state of things, the tactitians of
the Scarlet Moon Empire issued a warning, but they said, 'This is
in opposition against the Kooluk Army's sneak attacks', and did not listen."

"During this time, a serious incident occurred where a subordinate of
the tacticians used some kind of great power to murder the faction of nobles."

"This tactician was banished immediately from the Scarlet Moon Empire."

"However it is said that no more cases of man-hunting were reported
after this incident."

Old Book Volume 5
"Introduction to Trade"

"Let's start by buying something at the trading post in town. That
is the first step."

"Next, let's try selling those goods in a different town. If the price
is higher than when you bought it, the difference is your profit."

"If the price when you bought it is higher, then you will take a loss.
Try looking for a town somewhere else where you can sell it for more."

"As you buy and sell, you will learn what is cheap and what is
expensive in which towns."

"Once you get this down, making money is a snap."

"There's one more important point...
Among the traded goods, there are some whose rank will go up if you
repeatedly trade that item. Ores and clothes work this way."

"Higher ranked goods will sell for higher prices, so your profits will
also increase."

"Now, with this, you are already a respectable merchant...."

"A merchant in training, that is."
