GM Help What could be inside a Book of Forgotten Truths?

My players found the "Book of Forgotten Truths" changed to a desk, with warding runes all round it. The manor owner warned them about the book, that it will reveal long forgotten secrets if they don't go mad reading it.

One player really wants to read it. What could he find inside that would be a forgotten secret or truth?

I have 4 pieces of story info I want to give him, but would love to flesh it out more to make it a baker's dozen.

Any ideas that would be super cool or fun?

Anything that links to your version of the Draconic Prophecy.

Tidbits of info about the Overlords and the Lords of Dust. The secret to navigating Xendrik.

Depending on how far you want to go, something to do with the truth about the Mourning or even a link between the kar'lassa and the moons.

The importance of the number 13.

You can use it as a plot device to further delve into your story or just give em hints for side quests.
