Tao Oculus Kayne

Tao Oculus Kayne, also known as Taocul of the Leaf in his hometown of Hassbith, Cat of the East by the kingdoms of Havenland, and referred to as Portal-Hopper by the Sang-Lothor Imperium, was a legendary Elven explorer, scholar, and kindred spirit who roamed the lands of early Aigora in search of knowledge. His journeys through Havenland and the new lands of Aigora are written in various highly sought after volumes titled Chronicles of the Oculus.

Tao's tales and chapters inspired many people in Havenland to pursue their dreams of exploration and discovery, and many ballads and songs were inspired by the things he wrote. Tao was also a prominent advocate against exploitation of the land and an influential political icon during his lifetime, his death coincided with many world-events that marked a signal of a new age, which historians now regard as Talamh Nua.

Chronicles of the Oculus
The Chronicles of the Oculus, simply known as the Oculus Books by common folk, was a set of tomes written by Tao Oculus Kayne during his lifetime which chronicles his expeditions, journeys, discoveries and observations about the world of Aigora and his travels throughout it. Most of the books are in possession of the Sang-Lothor Imperium in the Library of Oro, but some volumes have been scattered throughout the world and are highly-sought after by collectors, scholars, governments and people of wealth and power. The amounts of volumes Tao wrote is a point of contention between scholars, with some estimating a modest 20 volumes, and other speculating an astounding 100 volumes.
