Reception

The initial Sylvan release mostly went unnoticed on the material plane due to the language barrier.
Within the feywild the book saw relative success with various elven settlements within the plane and soon became of interest for Professor Olaynore who at the time still worked for the University of Entodiff.
A team of botanists from a small wood elf settlement began working on an Elven translation only a year after it's initial release. The translation began as an unofficial effort but soon they reached out for help and official approval by the Druid Circle.
Soon enough Professor Olaynore joined the translation team after catching wind of the project and having been interested in the book for a while. With her help the translation was completed two year after the original Sylvan release and with official approval Professor Olaynore began translating the book into common.
The Elven release was distributed both in the Feywild and Material Plane of Eranvale and found great success, which increased demands for a translation into Common.
In 1803 the book finally saw it's official Common translation being distributed, to great success.

The book can be found in almost all bigger libraries across Eranvale. Various unofficial translations have cropped up throughout the years.
