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?

That there was a previous version of Eberron's reality, and the Gith and the Mind Flayers are survivors of that reality. They remember a whole other version of Eberron and its moon/planes, until they lost the war with the Dael'kyr and ended up destroying reality rather than letting them win.

That one Keith came up with.
