You give Fanzen San the Translator Falatacot Tome.
Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "This appears to be
Falatacot in nature, but the language is older. I'm not familiar with the
dialect, though some words appear to be very close with many of the writings
that I have translated in the past."
Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "Here, I translated as much as I could. I
find it rather disturbing."
Fanzen San the Translator gives you A Poorly Translated
Journal.

First, I must apologize for the appearance of this translation. I do not
often include translation as loose parchment tucked into the tome itself,
but my previous dealing with a tome of this nature made me pause to do so.
Second, I must apologize that the translation of this tome is merely an
educated statement. The language is very different from other Falatacot
tomes that I have encountered before, and appears to be a new dialect that I
am finding increasingly difficult to decipher. As a result, I can only say
that the translation found on these pages is my best guess.
The tome appears to be written by an individual called Vitriaka. Several
references and what appear to be her signatures adorn the pages of the tome.
I have also reasoned that this is a recently-written journal. The pages are
not brittle as with ancient tomes, in fact they are fairly fresh.
Vitriaka makes reference to two types of groups consistently throughout this
writing, "Iakvi Liviliakti" and "Tik Vaiktu Kiktij." I believe that the
references speak of comparison between two races.
Further reading brought me to conclusion that the author was talking about
some magical process to combine these races. I was also able to determine
that she was assisted at some point by one of the "Tik Vaiktu Kiktij,"
though the same creature was not used in the transmogrification process.
The results of Vitriaka's efforts seem to have ended in failure, as the "Tik
Vaiktu Kiktij" used in the process apparently died.
I am not sure how accurate my understanding of this journal is, but I
believe that it is the case that whatever this "Tik Vaiktu Kiktij" is was
killed during the process. The "Iakvi Liviliakti" appears to have lived, but
I am unawares as to the meaning of these phrases.
I hope that in time I am able to more completely decipher this language and
offer complete understanding of this tome.
