11 Clay Tablets
22  
33 Clay Tablets are a seven-piece Legendary collectible set that documents the final centuries of the Senkamati Artifacts people. Three of the tablets (the Murals) carry first-person narration from a surviving priest, separated by twelve-winter intervals. The other four tablets record the same text in varying states of physical preservation.

55 Together the tablets explain why the archipelago's ruins are still dangerous: the Senkamati attempted to resist a great curse, a few of them succeeded, and their sealed tombs (plus the guardians bound to them) are what adventurers now disturb when they loot ancient chests.

1212 "Scratches On The Altar" is the closing entry, found carved into the altar where the ritual happened: "There's no reason left to resist. No one left to remember. This sanctuary will be my grave. It was all in vain."

2525 Read the Murals in order. The First Mural sets the "Day of Great Sorrow" framing; the Second introduces Yuknom and the guardian split; the Third concludes the priest's vigil.The Altar text is the narrative payoff. Save it for last even if looted early.Tablets are Legendary and stack to 10, so they are worth holding as trophies rather than selling unless inventory is tight.
