The Books of Birenni were a collection of Ages written by a D'ni author named Birenni. They are often referred to as the "Lost Books of Birenni", as they had been lost for many millenia. They were originally lost upon the arrival of the D'ni to Earth in 0 DE, and weren't rediscovered until 2262 DE.[1]
The Book of Birenni
One book in particular is of such importance that it is often referred to as the Book of Birenni.[a][2]
It was in this book that the cure to Ahlsendar's Plague was found, in the form of a particular plant.[3] King Hemelin had sought this book for a long time, but it wasn't until Queen Lalen started searching through the old histories that hints to the book's whereabouts were found, culminating in the rediscovery of the book itself.[4]
Festival
Starting in 2262 DE[citation needed], a festival was held in D'ni on the anniversary of Hemelin and Lalen's wedding—Leevobro 12 (roughly December 10th).[3] This festival is sometimes described as celebrating the finding of the "Lost Book of Birenni", referring specifically to the Age in which the cure was found.[2] It was celebrated by hiding firemarbles throughout D'ni and the Ages for children to search for, and was also a popular day for weddings.
