Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
1) Where can I find the Dictionary?
Talk to the self-confessed 'Walking Dictionary,' Sotah. He is usually found at the right portion of the Castle (the room where old inventors gather together).
2) How do I recruit Sotah?
Sotah can be found in a residential house at Tehah Village. He can be recruited as early as the Castle has been upgraded to its full form. It's just after Asad, Manaril and the Blades of Night's Veil escaped from the Magedom and the mission "Journey to the West" has been triggered. Talk to the old man at the far left of the residential house more or less 4 times. This depends on how many times you already talked to him earlier. Do this until you'll be given an option to recruit him.
3) Why is it there are entries with multiple information?
Some entries have multiple information due to the newest updates gathered from quests or from the progression of the story. There are also information that can only be gathered by talking from various key people and recruiting Starbearers.
4) How do I add more entries in the Dictionary?
Entries are automatically updated whenever new information are gathered from quests, missions and even by talking to key characters.
5) Will a new entry of the same topic replaced the old ones?
No. Old topics will be retained but are numbered to separate them from new entries. For example, a topic about Pharamond has three entries: these are Pharamond 1, Pharamond 2 and Pharamond 3. Each entry has unique contents but connected to each other as one whole topic.
6) Why does the "People" section of the Dictionary has limited number of characters mentioned?
Only those people who are not Starbearers but played significant roles or at least mentioned in some way or another were included in the entries. This serves as a way to complement the 'Character Info' found in the main menu or to the Stone Tablet of the Promise.
Chrodechild
Tips and Tricks:
1) Talking to key people will unlock additional information in the Dictionary. For example, if you talk to Dromon in the Castle Headquarters' dock he will talk about Lonomakua Chiefdom, Felecca and Xebec's backgrounds and their achievments. This conversation alone will add some new entries in Sotah's repository of knowledge.
2) Several entries in the Dictionary are only added after completing key quests. For example, clearing "One More Mission" Leader Quest unlocks various information about the Empire of North Star, it's culture and backgrounds of their most distinguished political figures.
