Books of Triskelle

The Books of Triskelle are three leather-bound books, each written by Triskelle. The first and second books have been published, with the originials being kept in the library at Castle Fullmoon. The originials were written by Triskelle himself, with hand-drawn maps, family trees, and various poems, notes, and appendicies.

Background
The books were written by Triskelle during the from 2000 to 2011. After collecting various manuscripts, he combined them into a book. However, this book was very long, so they were divided into three seperate books.

Book One
The first book, entitled the "Annals of Valnor", is bound in maroon leather and the cover letters are bright gold, along with seven golden stars on the cover. The pages are gilded golden. This book covers history of Valnor, the High Penguin Confederacy, the Khanzem, until the war when Opacus returned during Olde Antarctica, along with songs, poems, and maps about things in the book. It has about 500 pages.
