About
The books are scattered across the world. They can be found in locations not commonly visited by players, like a lonely pier or the middle of a field. The books can be read by pressing E (default) when the prompt appears.
The books appear to form a single story, or each stories appear to be stretched over multiple volumes. This can be noticed by some text starting or ending with ellipses, as well volumes 1 and 2 seemingly flow over smoothly and mid sentence. So far, only 4 of the 12 books have been found: 1, 2, 8 and 12.
The books are (at least partly) written by a pro-colonial author. This can be concluded from the use of "us" when implying the Colonial army. Beside the praise for the Colonial achievements, the derogatory attitude towards things associated with Wardens is noticeable; examples are in Volume 8 ("...their 'wondrous' Bulwark...") and 12 ("...the people of the north are so arrogant,...", "They're blind to the world they live in...").

Inner Haven Vol. 1
Groomed from birth, an expert tactician with exceptional natural gifts, Thea exercised swift and decisive leadership. It was her will that brought us to the heart of Caoiva.
Maro offered the northerners peace, on the condition of joining our great republic. Such a distinction would have been an honour, yet they spit in our faces and call us dogs. If only they'd laid down their arms, we may have avoided generations of bloodshed.

She was a visionary. None could have imagined how well she’d live up to and perhaps surpass her great grandfather's legacy. Naysayers and experts in the senate claimed that Warden inner defences were impenetrable, a folly to pursue. Yet, our glorious commander proved them wrong with her unconventional strategies and radical tactics.
To no surprise, she would go on to be awarded a seat on the high council representing Veli for her valor and bravery. It stunned the republic when Maro refused, opting instead to remain on the battlefield.
All of Mesea—and Veli most of all—should feel blessed to have such a dedicated and capable commander leading the Colonial Legions toward our inevitable victory.

They're blind to our world. Will they even see us when the Colonial Legion storm their walls like thunder. For so long, they’ve looked down on us, but we'll be the ones standing tall.
All they'll see is the dirt we shovel over their eyes.
