This is one of the most difficult secondary quests to complete in that your party has to wander all over Aranna during Act I, Chapter 6 (Leaving Greilyn Isle) through Act III Chapter 2 (The Morden Chief) to find all of them and the game doesn't tell you how many there are, their titles, nor give any clues as to where they may be found, unlike in most of the other quests. Further, you will likely come across quite a number of them, with no idea of their intended use in a secondary quest, before actually acquiring the quest, sometime after entering access to Kalrathia at the start of Act III. However almost half of them are located in the town of Aman'lu. Telgrey can be found in a room in the northeast corner of Kalrathia. If you're not already in Kalrathia, teleport there. Proced down the northeastern stairway and skirt the fountain to the northeast. Ascend the stairs near the East Gate and go north into his room. Talk to him about the Lore of Aranna and he'll ask them to find the complete set of twenty volumes.
