;Shimmering cerulean journal bound in leather - 6000gp : This leather journal has been dyed a beautiful cerulean. From a distance it appears to be a solid, shimmering colour. Upon closer examination it is discovered that the shimmer is caused by a very delicate silver thread that has been used to embroider numerous Cyrenian pictures, such as the clock tower and a firefly, on the cover. The pictures are all connected with the same thread, and a triangular pattern representing mountain peaks can be found in between. | ;Shimmering cerulean journal bound in leather - 6000gp : This leather journal has been dyed a beautiful cerulean.

;Clock tower journal - 6000gp : The lambent light of a clock shimmers softly on the cover of this heavy journal, ticking audibly. Achaean numerals shift and change periodically with the passing of days along with the phases of the moon, the beautiful designs emitting a strange, cerulean glow. Dyed leather is rendered to replicate smooth polished stone and mortar on the front and back, providing a realistic backdrop to the luminous clock. The spine is skillfully bound and painted to resemble worn Vashnarian lumber with a slightly faded, intricate image of Blu, the Guardian Dragon of Cyrene. A blackened steel lock with small bells carved onto it is fastened tightly to the journal, keeping it closed when its not being used. When opened it gives a slight, cheerful chime, revealing many pieces of fine Cyrenian parchment within. | ;Clock tower journal - 6000gp : The lambent light of a clock shimmers softly on the cover of this heavy journal, ticking audibly.

;Luminous journal of the night sky - 6000gp : Fashioned from deep, velvety suede, the covers of this journal are dyed as black as a moonless, shadowed night. Scattered across the covers, swirls of sparkling diamond dust glitter like stars against the darkness. On closer inspection, the mesmerising patterns traced by the diamond dust beautifully and faithfully duplicate the shapes of the constellations in the night sky as seen from southern Sapience. Beneath the coruscating trails of diamond dust, a small silver plate allows the title and author of the journal to be engraved. Within the journal, the end leaves have been inlaid with a myriad of tiny stars and silver foil edges the pure white parchment pages. | ;Luminous journal of the night sky - 6000gp : Fashioned from deep, velvety suede, the covers of this journal are dyed as black as a moonless, shadowed night.

;Historian's journal - 6000gp : The fine, slightly yellowed pages of this journal have been bound in leather so dark green as to be nearly black. A line drawing, embossed in silver, depicts a scene out of Cyrene's Garden of the Arts: on the front cover stands the statue of Clio, Muse of History, practically glowing against the darkness. An oak tree grows along the journal's spine; its branches, extending across the cover, have twisted into a gnarled, leafy frame, creating space for a title. In the background, faint glimmers of gold in the dark give a suggestion of the garden's yellow roses. | ;Historian's journal - 6000gp : The fine, slightly yellowed pages of this journal have been bound in leather so dark green as to be nearly black.
