Writings of the End unlocks the Tomekeeper’s Spire which is one of the hidden appearances for Light’s Wrath.

Words gathered from the scattered tomes of the Archivist, predicting dire times to come.

Things to note:

  • Tomes have a respawn timer (~1 hour from what I’ve seen)
  • The rares do not have to be rare when you kill them
  • Rare tomes are a limited drop, meaning only one priest can loot them at a time
  • You can collect the tomes in any order

Head to the Athenaeum at the top of Moon Guard Stronghold and kill the rare Artificer Lothaire (34.3, 15.4).

Once you’ve collected all twelve, return to Archivist Inkforge in Netherlight Temple. He offers you the Writings of the End in exchange for the tomes.

In addition to this one, the default appearance and one from the Priest campaign would have to be my favourites. The Tomekeeper’s appearance definitely suits my relic hunter the most. The only thing missing is an Enchanted Torch to light my way.
