The Author

Llyntmos Ty'zllhat was a legendary Loremaster of Vorin, a monk of great power and vast intelligence. His greatest works were the collective works called the Ul'allelebith, though often referred to simply as the tomes of Llyntmos Ty'zllhat. He was a reclusive figure who often traveled the lands collecting and collating the information found by the Lorewardens.

The Tomes

It is said that the Ul'allelebith contains the most complete written history of Avlis covering a period of time from the Time of the Dawning to a point some 170 years ago when Llyntmos disappeared. Some entries are said to be written entries of his personal experiences, others are merely information collected by the Lorewardens he created and documented within his tomes.

The tomes themselves, based on what we know from those recovered, each cover a certain period of time. They are thick heavy tomes bound in black leather with silver inlaid calligraphy on the spine.

Apart from that, and the few mentions of the tomes in other writings, we know little about them. Llyntmos traveled with the originals, which is very odd, and there is much contention about why. The earlier tomes would be more a compilation of stories and oral histories we believe, as the author certainly wasn't alive to witness these events. The scope of the books is vast if one considers that it is considered to be general fact that the Supreme created Avlis some 4000 years ago.
