Akashic Records
A fable book, penned by ancient mystics, known as the Akashic records. Believed to be a written account
of all significant events throughout time. Legends hold it's buried somewhere near a rocky desert. If someone were to get
their hands on it, they would know what the future brings, which would mean having ultimate power. Everyone has been looking
for the records, but to find them, one needs a map. A tablet found in the Ivory Colls is believed to be the very map. The
engravings are of a lost language so far and undecipherable, even for linguists. Whoever can decipher them first will know
the exact latitude and longitude of the records.

magical fortress, whose location is kept secret from everyone, including the Elders.

of the wishes he granted.

but first hired a team of darklighters to get Leo out of the way. He conspired with his evil counterpart in a parallel dimension
to distract both the good and evil Charmed Ones so that he might kill Wyatt. The sisters realized his plan in time and stopped

Both sides then chose a representative to guard the burial ground where the Hollow was contained again.
