Amatleh Teocaru
The Amatleh Teocaru is one of the most important historical artifacts in all of Ardrim. It is a series of 50 scrolls made from various precious metals (mostly gold and platinum) and they were thin and flexible like paper, but unable to be torn. All of the runes inscribed upon the scrolls were done so in a silvery ink that seemed unable to be erased or smudged.
It was written by a species known as the Sarrukh in the Age Before when they discovered and perfected the practice of magic in nearly all forms. The scrolls were discovered in a magically sealed hidden chamber underneath the ruins of a temple to the World Serpent built by the Sarrukh. From that point on, they were housed in several different places over time. Its last known location is the city-state of Montelermo on an island in the Shattered Sea. However, after the sacking of Montelermo during the Great Iribalt War it disappeared without a trace. From that point on, none know of its location.
The scrolls of the Amatleh Teocaru are divided into 5 chapters of 10 scrolls each. They are, in order and translated, Foundations of Magic, Spells of Creation, Major Creation, Studies of the Planes, and Of the Creation of Artifacts. Each of the individual scrolls is seemingly endless, able to be unfurled for what appears to be infinitely. This effect is rather strange since it only allows an area of approximately 20 inches to be unfurled at a time. If the scroll is closed, opening it once more will reveal the beginning of the said scroll. And the strangeness does not end there. Every time one reads it, they will find new information. On top of this, different individuals see different inscriptions within the scrolls.
Significance
The scrolls contain writings on the fundamental principles of magic, detailing both simple and complex concepts within the field. It is the foundation upon which nearly all modern magic is based.

Rarity
The Amatleh Teocaru is an entirely unique item, with no copies existing. This is not due to a lack of diligence in recording the contents of archaeological findings, but instead that the scrolls simply cannot be copied.
