You'll begin the game standing next to Silvshara Greywind, a nice young Shadow Warrior with a quest for you to accomplish. She's standing next to a gorge filled with soaring harpies; beautiful environment, but not for our eyes at the moment. Turn directly away from the gorge, and move forward on the path that bends to the right. Go straight past the edge of the massive tower (looking up to see Archmage Telamir ranting from a balcony) and look to your right. There will be a small area with a pair of chairs (one knocked over) and a large book lying on a half-wall. That book is your destination.

It's your first History and Lore tome unlock! Specifically, it's a book on Eltharin: the language of the High Elves. The text in your Tome will detail a snippet of conversation about the ancient tongue, which has apparently existed "since the world was young." There are several of these in each Chapter of the game, between 5 and 15 in any single chapter. Keep your eyes out for everything from book cases to weapons – anything and everything could be a Lore unlock!
