Quest · Level 60
Sit again, $N, and hear the rest. This leaf was the very first page the Book ever held, the one every other page after it was cast to match, and losing it would have unmade the shape of every copy since. The Binders could not bring themselves to burn the one page that gave every other page its shape, so instead they printed it wrong on purpose, a thousand times over, in broken type and smudged ink, until no one still living could tell the true casting from the counterfeits scattered through this jungle. The Glossator spent a whole grey season pulling failed proofs out of the vines at Foundry Hollow, one broken casting at a time, until they found the single page that finally matched, and left their proof of it here when their eyes gave out before their patience did. Go and read what they proved.

Completion
"A forged page printed a thousand times is still not the truth, no matter how many hands believe it." That is the whole of the proof, $N, the one true casting pulled out from under nine hundred ninety-nine wrong ones. Below it, in a hand pressed unsteady from all that reading, the Glossator names Loupeglass Dunes, a glass desert further south along the apocrypha, as the next leaf on their trail. No ferry sails there from here: take your own boat south, and do not stare at the sand in the noon light. Come back and tell an old keeper what it showed you.
