Wtf I went to google if anyone else found it and your message of *2 hours ago* is the only one I could find.. The item only appears if youre standing on a certain spot in the cave. Really odd. Havent found a way to obtain it either.

EDIT: If you cast teleport or any spell that can target objects, an outlining for the tome will show up.

hi, just had the same thing as you guys but got a reply from Larian about it...


Most likely it was misplaced. FYI:

Death of the Forests
A weighty tome depicting the atrocities suffered by the elves during the war between the Divine Order and the Black

No history of the Great War between the Divine Order and the Black Ring would be complete without mentioning the collateral damage suffered by the elves.
From the livewood trees chopped down to make Order ships, to the indentured use of elves to feed upon and learn the secrets of the silent dead, the elves were the true victims of the carnage that ripped Rivellon apart.
And at the very end of the Great War, even the last blow that put an end to the Black Ring, was the Deathfog that decimated the homeland of the elves.
Small wonder that some of them bear a grudge against humans. Small wonder, at all.

I've found this exact book somewhere on Fort Joy before (Classic version), likely but not definitely in the Seeker's camp, though that is where I read it, because I definitely remember reading it on my first playthrough and using the information within to inspire my custom elf's backstory.

So it's not only found in the Wrecker's Cave, or at the very least it didn't use to be.
