Omen Archive

The Omen Archive is a notable research project on Ruidus conducted out of the Aydinlan Seminary, primarily by members of the Grim Verity.

Contents
Among the information in the Omen Archive: detailed descriptions of Ruidus and the timing of past Ruidus flares; the texts stolen from Vasselheim revealing the existence of Predathos, Ethedok, and Vordo; and studies into Ruidusborn including information about Exalted and Reilora, as well as all historical figures believed to be Ruidusborn, and modern individuals known to be. Hondir's studies on leylines may also be in the archive.

History
The Omen Archive started when Kadija Sumal, Ebenold Kai and some compatriots that are no longer part of the project, began compiling notes on Rudis and Ruidusborn.

Bells Hells first heard of the Omen Archive from Roe Estani, who said that he told the Lumas twins about it and that the twins had been planning to travel to see it before they were killed by the Gray Assassins. Before Bells Hells left Heartmoor Hamlet, Estani approached Orym, warning him that he believed the twins may have been killed specifically because of their interest in the Archive. He told Orym to find Ebenold Kai when the party reached Yios.

In Bassuras, Hondir mentioned that the Omen Archive began in part due to some academics in the Grim Verity realizing that Ruidus did not exist at the time of the Founding. The texts which revealed this, stolen by Grim Verity members from the vaults of the Temple of Erathis, also referred to two gods not included in the modern pantheon of Exandria. He also told Imogen that her mother, Liliana Temult, had been a volunteer in the Omen Archive's study of Ruidusborn individuals and had demonstrated powers much like her own.

Ebenold, Planerider Ryn, and Baryn Vestisho told Bells Hells more about their work on the Omen Archive when the party followed Ebenold and Baryn to the Elemental Plane of Fire. They informed the group that it was in the hands of Kadija Sumal, who had managed to avoid some of the scrutiny on the others and was still employed by the Seminary. Ryn was not a contributor but had learned of the archive through her own studies into the Planes of Existence when she looked for experts on Ruidus.

Imogen and Fearne met with Kadija, who, after some hesitance, showed them the papers of the Omen Archive that she salvaged when it was taken. However, they were interrupted by Ludinus Da'leth, who magically charmed or controlled Kadija, forcing her to hand over the rest of the Archive.
