After getting the Biblo Archivist achievement, visit the Loremaster, Ryfus Sacredpyr, at coordinates 40.04, 51.13 in Hallowfall. He gives you six riddles you can answer using the knowledge in the books you just read.

You can speak to Ryfus before collecting all the books, but the correct answers won’t appear in his dialog box unless you’ve found the books they’re contained in. Here are all the answers to Ryfus Sacredpyr’s riddles in a table below, via varenne on Wowhead:

QuestionAnswer
One“That the cosmos consisted of monopole elemental spaces.”
Two“Patience and respect.”
Three“Seek shelter and light. Have plans, have backup plans. Find joy while sheltering.”
Four“The third fleet.”
Five“The remains of gods.”
Six“From the letters of Mereldar.”

After you’ve answered all six riddles correctly, you can pick up the Arathi Book Collection toy from the small chest on the table next to Ryfus.
